Larry Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Question: Would a "m.extremeskins.com" mobile web page, with a text-only display format, be a better solution? 1) That would make it platform independent. Any client with a web browser could access it. 2) Some users might prefer the interface even for normal use. (How many people would chose a graphics-free game day thread, for example?)

matty dread Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The Tapatalk app takes about 2 minutes to download and install on the forum side. Not sure who the computer geeks for this site are, but it's painfully easy to get this thing up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCBnG21 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Just curious if there was ever any additional interest in this. I started using that app for other sites and it is really nice. Not sure what it takes to install and if it's a problem to have on the extremeskins servers, but if it is simple, unobtrusive and free would it be possible to get it installed? Even if it isn't used too much, it would be nice for those of us that can if there is no impact to the site as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streater101 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Thought I'd resurrect this thread instead of creating a new one. C'mon ES, its painfully easy to enable, and the 3 dollar tapatalk app allows you to access ANY web forum that has enabled that feature, so assuming you ever visit other forums, it will be worth the money. We're talking less than the price of a value meal here folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubbs Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 It sounds like there really aren't any cons and some good pros. (Too bad I can't use it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streater101 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 what would this app do? Turns web based forums like this one into a mobile application that simplifies browsing from a mobile device - without sacrificing any of the forum's features. It's available for the iPhone or Android based devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Eh, for the time being I don't use the internet or any apps on my phone cuz i'm poor. So I'm a "no" on this one at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Snyder needs to make this happen. What could go wrong? Blade would pull an Albert Haynesworth. He didn't know ES would be dealing with Mobile Apps when he signed that contract! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Did Nordigen meet Tiger when he was a nobody? Did she stand by him and support him as he busted his ass on the amateur circuit, help him organize his life so he was freed to get better at golf, eat ramen and beans every night when they were broke, etc? No? Wait- she was another golfer's maid and married Tiger at the peak of his career? Yah, $100 million- it's a woman's rights issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Not really sure what those last two posts are about but I'm all for an ES app of some kind. When I'm in a waiting room or something, I get on here on my BB. It's doable, but a pain in the ass. An app would make it a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right! We shouldn't need a mobile app like Elin "needed" that $100 million! Only Zoony would be able to put it so poetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard enough for the mods to keep up with all the people on here from their computers. Now think if you gave the ability for ES'ers to access the forums on their phone while at the game drunk.

mjah Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'm not sure I understand what the app would provide. Browsing and posting from my Evo is dead simple - in fact, I'm doing it right now - and I imagine the next generation of phones will be even better. So a dedicated app probably would see a shrinking user base as folks found their next phones to be fine for ES right out of the box. If there's truly some administrative setting that requires literally just flipping a switch for compatibility with an existing app, then sure - why not? But I don't know why anyone would go to more trouble than that. True, not everyone has a phone that is high end by current standards. But most will, well within 24 months from now, and then many basic posting problems will largely be resolved. Tabbed browsing management could use some improvement on mobile devices, but then again it could use some improvement on full-scale computers too.
