MPGH new app development

[Depp]

I use my phone a lot, (as I'm doing now) and I find having to use chrome to go to mpgh, its very difficult to use. There is one app already on the play store but tbh its terrible.

Does anyone think they can create a good app for MPGH? I could help with the design but I don't know how to code apps.

I think having an app for MPGH people could use it a lot quicke and when your not at home.

Please post your thoughts and ideas below.
All help is appreciated.

What would you want the app to look like? I might be able to code that if I knew exactly what you wanted it to look like, but how would it differ from the web version? Also, what is wrong with the current app and the web version?

inb4 everyone getting mad that you don't appreciate the web version

It's not up to me, I want an app, but its really up to the community if they want to have it done. Seeing as you can code it, you can make the decisions.

I guess you will need Dave's / ArunForce's permission to gather API's for the App.

I would need access to the APIs (or at least I could redirect to the web version), but it requires a $25 entry fee, and I'm not particularly happy about paying that.
(No, that's not my email.)

Yeah I get what you mean. Just see if you have a good driving force from people. If you have enough support for Staff and Members, I say go ahead.

I'm all for it! Count my vote :3

Are you sure that's the APIs? Because that looks like licensing to be allowed to post it on Google Play.
You don't need to post it on Google Play at all tbh, it's native in Android to be able to use Third Party Applications.
It's just a matter of ticking a checkbox.

Sorry, my pronoun-antecedents weren't quite right. I know that the APIs are free, it just seemed like the best way to distribute the APK.

I have no idea what pronoun-antecedents is.
I don't even know what you call words in my native language. I just somehow magically know if something is wrong or right when I write it.
You know, that feeling you get when you just know something's wrong.

Either way, the best way would probably just be to distribute it here on MPGH.
Seeing as the APK would be free, at least, that's what I presume.

If you distribute beta tests here you can probably scrounge up some donations towards putting it on Google Play if the majority of people using the APK feels that it's simpler.

The only downside I can think of is that it's a bit more difficult to update.
