mobile app!!!!!

is anyone else hopelessly addicted to oodmag.com?? well i am. lol the problem is about 90% of the reading and posting i do on this site is from my smartphone. unfortunalty this site is not the most mobile freindly. when typing there are glitches. i can go more into detail on these glitches if need be.

anyways i was just wondering what are the chances of a mobile app for android or iphone coming out or a mobile version of the site??

im sure it wont happen but i thought id try. also if you use a mobile phone to post speak up!!

caltek?? input??

I hope we go to tapatalk. It's awesome easy to use for forums and easy to instantly upload pics.

expand on that. what is "tapatalk" and what has to be done to use it?

I have used Blackberry and Android to read and post...In fact this post is being written from my Android.

But we have asked a few times for an app for that.

FWIW I believe JBen often posts from an iphone or ipad .

FW

http://www.tapatalk.com/ this sounds like a simple solution

I use my iPod quite often...

I believe an Iphone App is a Must!!!

Would be awesome to use the App while im sitting in my stand this year!! lol

Thank you in Advance!!

Should use tapatalk as posted b4. Simple solution.

Hey guys. I feel your pain on the side of getting this forum mobile friendly. Moving forward into 2013 we will be upgrading the software and the website as a whole to make it more user friendly - this includes mobile friendly forum. It will be a large task converting the forum over and we will likely be looking for some members to help us work out any bugs (when the time comes). My hope is that it runs smoothly without any major issues.

Of course with the conversion we will lose all the custom add-ons that the current site has so it will take time to get things running smoothly.

We had planned on looking into alternative solutions to make the site more mobile friendly but have been bogged down with other projects. As some are aware (and others will be now) Ganer and myself manage over 15 websites for the OFAH as well as this forum, numerous YouTube accounts and multiple Facebook and Twitter accounts. Not that we are making excuses for the lack of progression with this request (as it has been requested in the past) just simply letting others know that this forum is not our only site to manage.

If time permits outside of work I will look into the TapaTalk and see what is involved with configuring it with this site. No promises though.

Just wanted to chime in and let everyone know that we plan on upgrading in 2013 to v 5 Connect that includes its own mobile package.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

iPhone failed with iphone5, alot of people jumped ship and went to the samsung galaxy s3

I'm still a crackerberry. Have had one since day one when it was just a text/paging device, and always given one for work, can't seem to leave now.

I just got an android phone and it would be great if we could get an app that would make posting and reading the forum and website easier.

Patience my young Jedi. The mobile site is coming later this year. We will be working on a revamp of the main website as well as the forum. No idea of timeline at the moment, still early stages, just wanted to let you know it will be here soon (hopefully a smooth transition between sites).

You sir are one of the fortunate who actually has signal.

I have to go out on my screen porch and face West at my camp just to get a bar or two.

The forum search doesn't work on iPhone:( A mobile site would be awesome.

I disagree,

I went from a BB to iphone 5 here at work when RIM delayed getting the new OS out. Perpetual problems with freezes, etc. ( during calls and emails). I Have to be honest. I was always a BB guy. Keep the money in Canada so to speak, but the number of users who went from BB to iphone was staggering.Not just in my organization but others as well.

There are a large number of corporations who wont go over to Android based devices yet, because the open architecture still isn't as secure as many would like.

My $.02. And a discussion topic that could probably last all day if we wanted it to...LOL

Mobile oodmag app please!!!

Hope to have something in place this summer. We will be upgrading the forum software in the spring and the plan is to have a mobile component to it. Going to take some time as we have other projects we are working on at the moment but we are certainly planning on upgrading for 2013.

Site has mobile template built in but at the moment not the greatest. There is an Android app available on Google Play and hopefully one for iPhone in the coming months.

Site also works on Tapatalk and, IMO, is one of the better apps for browsing forum on.

Android App:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ild_2618&hl=en

Tapatalk (scroll down to "Get App")
http://www.tapatalk.com/

I have already searched a few times looking for the app lol
