Title: cell phone app
Post by: Mylz the Wolf on November 01, 2011, 04:43:02 am
I'm new so I hope theres not one that I've missed lol. But there should be an app for the forum on android or apple (i have android lol). I use my phone to access the forum and it would be easier with an app :)

The forum can be accessed from a regular phone browser.  :3

I don't think there is an app for Android, etc. I'd have to talk to WhiteSheperd about that and see if there's something he could do in the future.

I've heard of tapatalk, but I think I didn't see much use in trying it out anywhere.  In either case, I don't see much here that would really be worth it to make a specific app for. I sometimes use my Android to poke around here and it does fine. One thing I don't like is having to zoom in to see everything, so maybe simply a mobile version of the site (which I think was talked about a while back) may be enough. Give it a re-designed front page with larger buttons to access the different areas and some format tweaking and I would be happy.

The only other specific issue when using my phone is any pics people post that can't fit completely in the screen from left to right when zooming in have the excess cut off so you can't zoom in for a close look and scroll around to see it all. I'm not sure if that's something to do with the site or my phone though. I'm guessing my phone. (:

Maybe not an app, but a mobile optimized version of this site would be nice.

I'm pretty sure there's already a forum theme designed with mobile browsers in mind; for some of you, it might be worth looking into if you haven't already.
