DrUnKeN_TiGeR | 0 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I was disappointed when I searched the Android market and there was no dedicated app. I also searched Tapatalk and we aren't there either. But I have to say the mobile site is quite nice. Good job. And chance of either? Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1582-no-app/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,786 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The forum is only a month or so old, I don't think anyone has made one yet. 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1582-no-app/#findComment-28363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,789 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Mobile version of the site works very well to the point I’d question the need for a standalone app. What functionality would an app provide that you are looking for? 5 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1582-no-app/#findComment-28372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. In general I don't like standalone apps for websites. The only thing I could see the app providing is push notifications for PMs and replies.

The email notifications are pretty granular but I won’t hate on you for trying to get up to the second VGS news lol Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1582-no-app/#findComment-28465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BortLicensePlate | 661 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Do you know how much work it is to make an app? Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1582-no-app/#findComment-28469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,349 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I might be old if I'm wondering why an app would even be needed? I mean the only forum app I know is tapatalk, but I hated using it with other forums compared to the web interface. I visit the site 99% on my phone and if I have weird formatting vertically, by turning the phone it's all corrected in horizontal view.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,220 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I don't see much of a need for an app either. The site looks great on mobile and you can get email notifications if you want, so I'm not sure what new features an app could have to make it worthwhile.

SNESNESCUBE64 | 677 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'd argue there is no point to having an app. The mobile version is very good as it is, so putting the extra effort in developing an app would be a hassle and a half. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1582-no-app/#findComment-28738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWunderful | 2,933 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Come up with a prototype and we can take a look at it! 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/1582-no-app/#findComment-28750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
