TheAmazingDashie Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hey Canterlot! Dashie, here!I was wondering if you've ever considered creating an APP for Android/Apple users? I, myself, would be away from the computer so much that I get tons of notifications. So if I had an app, I could totally be on it 24/7 and not miss a beat. Ever thought about developing something very simple for the iPhone/Android? Or have you done that already? Just a question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenzyhero Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hm...considering that there is a IP Boards Mobile Theme, I would imagine that it might already be made. If it hasn't been made already than it sorta needs to be.I know that you can browse it on your phone though, so...that's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starswirlthebearded Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 it's also on tap a talk. Which is what I'm on right now on my android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAmazingDashie Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I figured it'd be on Tapatalk.So I might just have to redownload that. But I think it should have it's own app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I figured it'd be on Tapatalk.So I might just have to redownload that. But I think it should have it's own app. What exactly would the app do?If you're thinking of a simple tapatalk-like interface we'd need exactly $3,499.Otherwise I'd need someone with a lot of experience with IP.Board and Java coding via Eclipse IDE to manually build an app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, no one here is familiar with Java.Oh, but you said Java via Eclipse IDE, so I may be able to do something. I've been around the block, but only when it comes to maybe entry level things. I can try and do something, if that's okay with everypony else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flutterscotch Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 And buy Artax both an iphone and an ipad so that he can actually support it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would suck if I created the app then I wasn't allowed to distribute it or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIJIN Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 And buy Artax both an iphone and an ipad so that he can actually support it properly.I don't know about that... I haven't had an iOS product for a while so the app would probably at first be for Android. Porting would be a whole different ball game.Edit: But of course what I said has nothing to do with buying him idevices xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 But.... WHAT WOULD THE APP DO?!?!? XDIt's absolutely pointless saying "I'll have a go at building the app if I'm allowed" if no one even knows what the app would even do. No?

No?I think such an app could randomly flash images of Artax, to let everypony know he's always watching you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No?Very true, it's really up to the community as I'm sure that there are many features people would want in such an app.Hypothetically, it would probably have the same features as the mobile website, with a different UI. Ability to view galleries, the usual posts, create new topics, PMing., etc. I'm not sure what what else would needed to be added. Even so, I just want a Cantrell app! Even if it does pretty much what the tapatalk version does with a few differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it's a horrible waste of 2 bucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 If you'd like to contribute towards building an app, simply PM me.However, you'll need to know what your doing and have a more serious idea than another tapatalk-clone or simply (yet another) way to browse the board.
