I'd only be doing the design aspect of the app anyway, so I could do all of that on a PC in Photoshop - whether it's the android, ios or windows app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NitRo 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 This is a cool idea but not soo useful cuz it takes a lot of time and work. And our website is mobile friendly My iPhone already has an IceOps application Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe 127 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 This is a cool idea but not soo useful cuz it takes a lot of time and work. And our website is mobile friendly My iPhone already has an IceOps application If people are you willing to put time and work into it, then it could prove extremely useful. Like I said, the site may be mobile friendly, but it can also be quite awkward to use on mobile at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mighty Jayster 444 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 IceOps app i think that is a fantastic idea. Question: Would it be a free app or a paid one ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free, of course The forums cost nothing to visit on desktop/mobile currently; it would be foolish to charge people for an app that would just be a better-optimised alternative.

Joe 127 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Don't do that. It's waste of time for nothing. It might not be very efficient, but I wouldn't call it a waste of time by any stretch of the imagination. However, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam00 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Do you have any idea how an application/software is made? iceops.in already has mobile compatibility, doesn't need a mobile application. Do what Nitro did, it's efficient and saves lots of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fisher 101 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Just placing my insight on this. I previously made multiple apps for android. Well, i know a very easy program called MIT app inventor which allows you to create apps without knowledge of a language. I would develop it but is there a real need for an app I mean maybe just create a mobile version of the website. I think it costs money to place it on the app store. And both Google play and app store have to approve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kienio 384 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Pretty sure it's like $99 per year on the app store Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Association 338 Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Imo the mobile version of the site is actually quite perfect...never had trouble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam00 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2015 Pretty sure it's like $99 per year on the app store No, but it's monthly. Or yearly. I don't remember. But most likely monthly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IJzzo 1,072 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 First: Do we really need an app to display the forum? (It something I still don't understand until today: Why do people need for every sh... they could just do with a simple browser an app?) Well the app could send push notifications nobody wants anyway Second: When I consider how much garbage is placed on the Android App Store it can't cost money to spam apps there. iOS however is not used so much and we would not have to care. Third: Someone has to make such an app. I'm not the one I'm very sure. (Not even using one of the popular smartphone OS.) The "fruit" is used in building Android apps but doesn't seem much interested in doing it (at least it appeared to me like that) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manix 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2015 I suppose you could create an app that displays the forum, but with a mobile theme. Much like IPB. A theme that would be more compatible with mobile devices, and force the app to display the forum is that theme. I've never made an app, but I suppose it wouldn't be hard to add a cool IceOps animation when you open the app, to make the app look better and less of a simple web browser.
