  • Expect an Android app later today. Apple blows donkey dick as far as developers are concerned, so expect a much more redonkulous ETA.

  • yes, this has already been reported in the AFTO 781 and is being worked. Parts on MICAP.

  • Free with ads. Stipulation - only guns, booze and porn ads allowed.

Sounds great on paper but what features would it bring that Tapatalk doesn't already bring?

  • Author

I'm honestly not sure, since I don't use tapatalk at all. Do you get push notifications? As in can you subscribe to the daily pic thread and your phone vibrates when somebody posts? Or do you get PM notifications on your phone? I know those features can be put in the BODN app. It also has a lot of nice features on the Admin side. I won't pull the trigger on this until after IPBoard releases ver 4.0, it's supposed to have a lot of mobile user (and Admin) upgrades.

what would the app bring that the mobile version doesn't bring? Right now the mobile version is sufficient for my needs (but maybe I don't know what I'm missing).

I get the notifications about PMs and if someone quotes me but not sure about notifications about a thread you follow. Not really sure what Tapatalk uses as the notification discriminator.

Tapatalk blows because it malfunctions a lot and doesn't notify me of jack...

I'd buy a BODN app if it could fix everything wrong about tapatalk.

Side note: What if it was free?

One of the best things about the mobile site was...no fucking ads. Sigh. Now there's ad banners. Can I write a check to make them go away?

Holy shitballs batman. These ads are about to give you a heart attack. I'm working on a way to show them to guests but not long time posters. Until then will you be okay with one at the bottom of the page on the mobile site?

Sure thing. Not normally such a whiny bitch--caught me at a bad moment. Apologies, and thanks for working on the site...

  • Author

Haha, no stress. The mobile site doesn't follow the same patterns that I've set up on the desktop site. On the desktop site, as long as you're logged in and not a noob, you don't see ads. On the mobile site, I can't limit who gets ads (yet, working on it).

Back to the point of this thread, app discussion has begun with a few developers. We'll see what happens.

If tapatalk continues to be an enormous waste of time, a primary app would be appreciated.

Agreed, can't even access with tapatalk right now.

Custom work on the app should begin next week sometime, and the developer has been given a 15 day window to complete the first version of the app (from the day they start work, which is the day I fork over some dolla bills). Speaking of dolla bills; there are a few options for the app. One is a paid download, the other is free download with ads. Your thoughts?

Although I'd be happy to pay for no ads, I think newer users would be more inclined to get the app if it were free. Is there a way to option both, like many apps do? (MyRadar is a great example) looking forward to it either way!

Agree - tapatalk is nice (when it works) but "one click" access to BODN from my iphone/ipad would be much nicer. I'd gladly pay a reasonable fee for the app, I'd pay even more (maybe even on a recurring basis) - to get away from the ads.
