Now I don't know if their is one but I currently have no internet so all I have is my phone and its very hard to navigate through the division forums and check out the MAUL standings. It with an app it would be cool to get a app that leaves notifications when some event or news pops up in your division. Thanks for reading.
 
The android apps are free to put on the market. But the iPhone apple apps cost $99 for a developer license. So just an android app, because iPhone is bad (In my opinion)

Though it would be unfair to exclude the users that do prefer Apple OS over Android.
Anyways, from my understanding, we do have some sort of project underway for the App Store, and in the future the Android Market. (Though, I'm not sure the details about the project at this moment)
 
Actually ik agree with you on the iphone thing. I have a motorola droid. And I just would like an app for it. Its just too dificult for me on a phone to stay up to date on ego. :(
 
This site uses vBulletin, however I know IBP(ipBoard) has an app for iPhone, I honestly don't know if they have it for android.
 
Hey hey hey I didn't make this thread to trash apple or any other company's. I just want to know if their will be an android app soon. Because idk how long ima be with out internet. :(
 
yeah, i would like to have apps about eGO in my android too!
(both iPhone and Android has their pros and cons, up to us to choose and favs which of them) :D
 
it will be a while till they make a app. There making a Iphone one currently from what I know of, I don't know if they're making a android app.



The guy that is making the iphone app is Texas
 
Yeah the webpage on my android is way to hard to operate. I hope that they do release an app in the near future.
 
Back when the iPhone's first started hitting the market, there was talk of an official iPhone app. This was answered by leadership saying they were not going to CREATE an official one. However, with permission and approval of Council, I'm sure if someone made a good enough app that serves whatever purpose, weather a server browser or a forum browser, I have no doubt that if they liked it they would approve.

With that being said, I think what you're going for is a conversion of vBulletin to an iDevice app. From what I've heard, vBulletin and iOS do not get along at all. There are many bugs (As you can see from going on Safari and going on www.edge-gamers.com) And there are many unseen errors as well as visual and functional hiccups. I am not aware that this will ever be fixed, but for now, all we can do is use either the stock Safari, or get another app, for example, Mercury, which is a firefox-like browser (Not sure if it's produced by Mozilla). It displays many websites just like firefox would, but it is a little hard to navigate.

If there is an eGO app in production, then there you go. But if you need something to view the website through your iPhone (Not sure if it's out for Android) use either Safari for easier handling and a few minor errors, or Mercury for a Firefox emulator.
 
I second this, I'm on my iPhone all the time, and I always check in with eGO. Pretty hard to maneuver around the site tbh.

thanks for the information, officer!
 
Maybe we could just create a mobile compatible site? This would probably save money on the app development fee Apple charges, and would work a lot more seamlessly than a whole app.

I second what righton said I think that is a good idea.
 
all we have to do is add our website forum-runner.
