Iphone/ Android App for Thamnophis!

[twgrosmick]

All the other major forums have one...

I have talked to Jason (Boots) about this before. I think it is something that will be in the works, just not now. It takes a lot of time to program and have it work on all devices. Plus if you did an android app you would need to do an iphone app to for the apple users. Lots to factor in.

Agreed but knowing multiple programmers in the engineering school this is not as in depth as you would think. It could be a relatively basic app that allowed all viewings of the threads in a basic format. I just think it would be something that would draw in more people as well as allow current users to expand the viewing of thamnophis

I don't agree that you'd need an iphone app too, i think apple users can (in nice terms) go fly a kite! Android all the way, an app that allowed basic format would be awesome, might load a bit faster for me while I'm at work when i barely git a signal.

The forums I have seen that use apps want me to pay to download 'taptalk’.
This is not currently an option for me.
I would welcome a more mobile friendly version of the forums- more streamlined, thumbnails only unless clicked on. Fewer links and stripped down graphics.

Please don't force feed me an app with pop-ups.

I second that.

I would just recommend the site admin look into tapatalk

Wow! I feel the same way about android users! Strange how if you get a FREE OS you want everything else to be FREE

I use Tapatalk on the 8 other Forums where i am a member and its used everyday all day, i can stay up to date one all the Forum happenings.

I also suggest Tapatalk! Works Great and its not that expensive!

Tapatalk isn't a bad option. But the forum works great for me in my native Android browser, then only time it gets fiddly is uploading a photo.
As a rule, websites and forums don't need apps, all they need is good HTML5 support, all smartphone browsers support HTML5 so you don't need an app for each OS.

App wouldn't be needed if there was a mobile version/tapatalk. It runs ok now, but it's still a pain to navigate. I don't always have access to a computer I'm on mobile a lot.
