Area 51 App?

Post by MrProjektZ »

I am not sure if anyone knows how to make iPhone apps but you guys are all very good with computers. So I thinking if anyone can make an Area 51 app were you can easily access forums, and all the other stuff like whose on the server and the player ranking board and all that stuff in a nice format for phones. Although there is safari, it's slow, and the page isn't sized right for it so you have to zoom in ever page because the font looks like this small so it's a little annoying. This is just an idea I had for easier access on the forums if you aren't on the computer so you can be on the forums on the go. It doesn't have to be like some App Store app that's for iPhone and other up to date phone as some people don't have one but maybe just a download and copy it over to your phone. This might be a dumb request but I don't know. Just throwing an idea out there.

Oh wow. Seems like a lot of work to put out the app. I don't want anyone to be bother with that and paying money for it. I guess I'll use google chrome, that sounds easier.

Maybe you mean a "mobile" version of the site, and not an app?

I was considering doing something like this but i wasnt sure how may of you are viewing it on a phone/mobile device.

Yeah! That would be even better. A mobile would be good. With the app I meant some kinda like Steam mobile/Facebook/Twitter thing. How they are, but it's too complicated. So a mobile format site would be the best.

If you want to access forums, it's simple, wait to be on your computer, or take a mobile one...
I'm very busy, all the day long, mostly by school and medical appointments.I don't have any phone or mobile, or tab, or iPad, iPhone or w/e you think - thing.My only screens at my home are the TV and the computer one.

So you just have to wait to be at home like me.My 'way of life' without ultra-recent techs is my 'way of life' like i said it, my choice, but everyone can do it, at least for the forums...This kind of app, if Ant wants to create one, will be useless, at my point of view - There is alot of things that we can get better on the servers, many maps can be created, and I think he has a life and moderation-things to do, or studies, or a work or idk.But, well, atm, I find that a mobile version of the forums and stats boards are totally useless and there's worst to worry about.

Thanks for considering my opposition to that ;) .

I just gave my opinion.I don't want to start a fight.I won't delete it.

Ant will loose his time making a such thing.Nobody asked that before and atm in my point of view we don't need that.I think that the servers are more important than the forums, so if you really like A51 :/ Better go to a PC and start playing...

Not the best idea... It could work or you could just go on www.area51cheatserver.com so nothing has to be made.
For real... how many of you access the Area 51 website from your phone now.
