Does this site have an app?

No mate. The site is fully responsive which allows you the full functionality whether using the desktop, tablet or smartphone though.

We did have tapatalk enabled on the site which allowed you to see posts on here, but the rest of the functionality of the site ie gallery, player profiles, stats, tipping/betting comps could not be used. Due to the amount of bugs associated with the app, we got rid of it as it was allowing too many spammers to get through the app too.

If you want to get notifications(from this site) on your smartphone/desktop, you definitely can achieve that via an app you can buy called pushover. If anyone does, let me know and ill show you how to set that up.

Thanks dude

 

[tajhay]

OK, so heres an update.

It is now possible to have the same functionality that is on this website, on an app (Iphone and Android). This means you will get notifications (which can be turned on and off based off alerts, conversations etc).

Are people still interested in something like this? If i get a fair indication that there would be a fair amount of people using it, then ill spend the 250-300 USD required to getting it done, and submitted to both the app stores before the start of season 2016. If not enough interest, sorry!

The app would be free.

Will it be a Tapatalk replacement but without being so buggy? I actually loved that app and would be keen for something like it to use for this forum. I find using my phone to access this site hard work and tend to post and visit less...

Tapatalk was a piece of crap, with lots of security loopholes, that the developers ignored to fix. They would send a huge amount of spammers to the site everyday. The features though, especially forum- side were good.

The app would be very similar to what the site looks like on a web browser on the phone, with the addition of notifications/alerts.

I for one would definitely be keen on an android app if one became available. Would have no issues paying a few dollars for it if it came to it. Hopefully there's a fair amount of interest in this...

Mean as, thanks Tajhay. If the app is appealing and functions well enough then i'd be happy to pay a small fee.

 

[Lord Gnome of Howick MBE]

That would be awesome!

 

[Vancent]

I'm in bro, happy to pay to support.

 

[Afakasi247]

YES - something I'd definitely use. Would be much easier to navigate through and app as opposed to these stupid phone browsers. Hopefully something that can happen moving forward. Would be happy to pay a small fee to use as well.

 

[mt.wellington]

Think Tapatalk was a one off payment of $4. Id be happy to shell that out...

 

[eudebrito]

I'd pay a fiver for an iOS app

 

[tajhay]

Do i hear a sixer???

Nah itll be free, to get more warriors fans to download and therefore view and visit the site.

A few of you guys have mentioned its hard to navigate, hard to post on phone browsers. Can i get some details please? Screenshots perhaps? What exactly as changes will need to be made for the mobile view on browser for the app to inherit otherwise itll just be a glorified web browser app with notifications.

I've noticed that I have to double tap on links to open them on my iPad now. Pretty sure it didn't used to be this way. Just checked some other webpages and don't seem to have to double tap... Or is it just me??

Edit using iOS 9.1

You're not alone - I've noticed the same thing since the latest iPad update.

Can either of you or someone else that had this issue please test now and let me know via PM whether its still happening or not please?

 

[Wellington Warrior]

All good now...cheers

Currently at hospital (my mother decided to copy Humpty Dumpty and have a great fall!!) so I'll have a look at the iPad when back home. She's gotten slightly confused with her birthday and telling the staff she was born in 1825 - what's a hundred years while it seems like an eternity waiting to get an X-ray done

I have no issues on my Galaxy S5 at all. Can view everything as per the browser on the comp (except the drop downs aren't as long due to screen size).
