Mobile App
« on: May 08, 2012, 10:05:15 PM »
You know be nice? A mobile app for android and iPhone! I know other forums that do it and, i'd think at least, make life a little easier organizing events. For example, alerts for game registration and what not. Idk, whats all your thoughts?

We went over this on another thread a while back. Basically a majority of the people said there is no need for one as it is easy enough to navigate the website just using the browser on your phone.

Yes but for students in school this forum is actually blocked, even though you could make the argument that students shouldn't be on their mobile devices anyway. It would be nice anyway for that option to be there.

If you can't navigate the forums on you mobile device it sucks. I use my phone to navigate this site with no problems at all. 

So the need for a app  isn't there.

yeah its not a big deal to navigate on any phone. The only problem I have is that whenever I get a message it opens a blank page on my phone. But why waste money making the app unless someone can do it for free for both Android OS and IOS?
If I knew a little more I could do it but it seems that majority doesnt want it.

Thats what I was hopping for, a free app. And its not a necessity, I use my smart phone and have no problems. However, I feel like there could be potential towards the app. If its too much of a hassle, then defiantly dump the idea.

Tapatalk wants $800 if you don't want their crap all over the place.  In addition, it's not compatible with 100% of third party mods.  I also personally hate their app.  I can access the forum just fine on iOS 4 and Android 2.3.  If there's a particular issue people are running into accessing the forums from a mobile device, I'll listen.  But if it's just a matter of laziness, I'm not going to be terribly inclined to spend my time helping people be more lazy.

My friend who runs the PSC account has mentioned to me having troubles scrolling while editing posts, but that's all that comes to mind. Personally, I don't do jack shit on mobile devices except calling people, so I wouldn't know either way.

Duly noted.  I didn't realize Tapatalk was so intrusive with the free version.

I don't have problems accessing, just making a suggestion :)

Like I said, if its too much of a hassle and not worth it, then just skip it.   ;D Just an idea.

I don't mind the suggestion at all, just explaining my feelings on the app.
