Who thinks The Mini Forum should bring out an app for iPhone or Android!?

[Noah]

iP. Board.

But to be honest the online one in a web browser is very good.

i think this has been asked quite a few times

They should do it! It'd be awsome! I'm sure most people would even mind paying a small fee for it...

IP Board do have an app for iPhone and It's pretty good but does have a few bugs.

The forum should sign up for tapatalk. I can use it with all my other forums. Far superior to the mobile skin. And theres tapatalk hd that i use on my tab. Guessing the people who make the decisions dont use the site on a mobile or tablet

This is an iP. Board forum so it will use the iP. Board app.

Any way, TapaTalk is out of date and useless, it was really made for the early days of the iPhone when the internet was slow and the screens not very high quality making loading forums a painfull process, but now the speed of the internet and the quality of the screens in my opinion its a waste of time and money.

Good for you

I imagine Hmv, jessops and blockbuster had a similar thought process and didnt think they needed to change. Didnt really work out for them did it. Wonder what the analytics for mobile users of this site are like? I would imagine fairly sizeable and growing.

You dont have to listen to the opinion of your users though. Its really up to you.

HMV, Blockbuster and Jessops failed due to online buying and renting.

HMV, they have too much crap that they don't sell and the majority of what they do sell is now bought online from Amazon/Ebay/iTunes

Blockbuster failed because of things like LoveFilm and Netflix as well as online buyers.

Jessops failed because of online stores, Amazon/Play etc etc.

Another example is comet.

I can think of hundreds.

My point is that their market place changed. The internet is changing. There is a huge shift towards mobile users, and you need to keep up or be left behind.

I use the forum of my phone alot of the time and it is fine. What would be the advantage of having a seperate app? On my iphone i can put a link to the forum on my home page so will work just like an app.

I use the normal web browser on my phone as I don't like the mobile version!

But thats just me! I'm on my phone now lying in bed!
