OSO Smartphone App
 
does anybody else think that this site needs a mobile app for smartphones?? i think it would be totally cool if you could check the latest posts from your iphone, blackberry, or droid smartphone. doesnt have to have all the features of the full site, just some posting and update capabilities

BLee 10-20-2010 09:57 PM

I brought this up last year actually, and was told it would take too much effort http://smiliesftw.com/x/hsugh2.gif

87MagnumII 10-20-2010 10:02 PM

i bet if enough members were on board we could make it happen

Perlmudder 10-20-2010 10:24 PM

that would be awesome. I would love one available for the iphone. it is too much of a pain to view threads in safari on the iphone.

87MagnumII 10-20-2010 10:36 PM

who do we need to approach about trying to get it done?

It was actually brought up before that and I understand it's "on the things to do" list......or some kind of list. :D :drink:

I recently just got a droid. What's the difference in having an app and just checking in using the browser? I use the browser now and its just like on my home computer. How does an app improve on this. Just curious really as I just got one of these things (sent this post from it) . :D

dykstra 10-21-2010 06:48 AM

I have the DroidX and love it. Anyway, I think the difference is with the app, it is one touch, rather than going through the steps of the browser. Bottom line is it would be faster.

I'm all for it!

It's in the works along with a few other cool features.... Stay tuned!

I use this one for mobile message board access.

I brought this up last year also. I also have a home screen icon that will go straight to OSO but then I have to size and resize to see pictures and post. Moil sites are built specifically to enhance the viewers experience with the site. I am all for this!

captain girt 10-21-2010 09:05 AM

why do people love their phones so much, I dont get it

captain girt 10-21-2010 09:07 AM

people that play with their phone all the time suck!

SpeedGirl 10-21-2010 09:10 AM

Captain Girt are you trying to start trouble with your repeated posts?

FuelinAround 10-21-2010 09:15 AM

I love my phone so much because I am rarely at home or somewhere where I can check my emails, OSO, etc. My job does not allow me to sit at home and play on the internet all day. Without my phone and ipad I would not be able to stay up to date on new things. Right now I am on my phone sitting in a waiting room waiting to go into a meeting. It's better to be on here reading than just sitting staring at the wall aimlessly.

Me thinks so. Captain Girt, :chill-pill:

Personally, I believe an App, would be awesome.

Ok.... cool? Whoever, or whenever, it was brought up......it didn't sound like IB at that time was too excited about pursuing it. This was RIGHT after they bought the site though, and it was still just Heather & I helping out.

Maybe they have more time now to devote to new ideas like these? I think it would be nice to have an app, where you could open up to your favorite forum, or thread, without having to go through the entire process through Safari, or similar, on your phone.

Sounds like someone's pretty bored with the No MOre Than 2 Words Post Thread. :evilb:

AppSysCons 10-21-2010 09:29 PM

Seems like IB has one

vBulletin iPhone mobile application

2Slow4me 10-21-2010 09:57 PM

Great idea!

And one for the iPhone

buck183 10-21-2010 10:15 PM

I've been behind this idea for a long time. It would get used heavily by me.

87MagnumII 10-22-2010 07:25 PM

i can browse the site from my iphone but its a painn to zoom and click links and wait for it to load, an app would be cool for checking pms and seeing if anybody has responded to your posts without having to navigate the whole site on a phone to find out.

cookee 10-23-2010 03:56 AM

Ask Forumrunner.net to add OSO - it works on Iphones and the Droid App is in Beta

Phantom1 10-23-2010 09:35 AM

Will the app work with my phone?:drink:

No, only on the full size bag phone, I think that one is the more recent compact model, they had to remove some of the features to get the size down. Sorry...

HiPerf360 01-19-2011 09:47 AM

I would be interested in an app for smart phones though
