    I think this would be a cool idea. Has anyone ever seen nasiocs forum app? It's super easy to use and a lot more convenient. Would enjoy seeing an app for this site!

    I like using nasiocs app. It's super easy to scroll through. It sections off things and is in much bigger letters. Hard to explain i guess. It's set up almost exactly like this just more mobile friendly. That and it has a message section at the bottom of the screen much like an iphones text messages. I don't usually think about looking at my inbox because it's not jumping out at me when i have one. Basically just sub sections everything so it's easier to read on a phone. Us youngins an our techmology i guess?

    Actually lets put it this way it's like the difference between the facebook app and trying to scroll through the regular webpage on your phone or banking apps as opposed to trying to bank on the regular website through your phone. I guess that could explain things a bit better right?

    I don't have a facebook account so that comparison means nothing to me. I've been using a phone for online browsing for 6 years now. It used to SUCK but with the current crop of smart phones it isn't even close to difficult to navigate forums. I have no issues with missing pm's since I don't have a fanboi apple product that doesn't support the popup. I'd suggest upgrading your phone rather than having to get the admins to add software to the forum. :D

    Upgrading phones has nothing to do with what is being asked. If you don't want to use the app if they choose to make one thats great but some of us welcome change for the better. And the people asking for said app have experience with other forums using one, do you??

    The Amish shun technology and modern convenience due to their religious beliefs which the vast majority of us do not have. So we use technology to our advantage.


    I have asked many times on many forums what the advantage of tapatalk etc is and I've only received one answer unanimously. They say its just easier. If navigating forums is too difficult perhaps a new time waster should be found. :lol:

    I know it would enable many people to have quicker access to the forum, and may even increase the amount of users.

    Make it easier to respond to peoples questions and you make a better forum. I'm not sure if I would call a forum a time waster many people are looking for answers and information that they may not be able to find elsewhere.

    My "fanboi" apple product shows when i have a message it's just small on the screen and doesn't pop out at me. I do think it might open up more users as well. It's a more mobile friendly version and we are always looking to upgrade for the better. If we weren't as a society we wouldn't have this foru
    We wouldn't have modern convienences in life that i'm sure you use. If you don't want to use the app, don't but it doesn't mean a bunch of us wouldn't want a forum app.

    How do i contact jeff? You would think that people who have the power to do this stuff would check in on this section of the forum though. I don't have a problem trying to track down people who authorize this stuff. I'm also going to continue to come on here whether they make an app or not but i think it would be easier to check while your out and about not near a computer. I think more people would get on more frequently and questions people have may get answered faster thus making projects go quicker? Haha maybe not to that extreme but it may help a bit?

    Any answers from Jeff? Was just thinking about this and toTally agree. I would love an app version for m iPhone.

    If nothing has been done so far how do we get the ball rolling to get one?

    Search for the username Jeff, last I heard was he wasnt planning to with an app like tapatalk or a mobile site. Run it the the chain of command being the moderators first. They will contact Jeff on our (the members) behalf.
