A Mobile App for Bitcointalk forum???

[AakZaki]

I also want one (for better mobile UI/UX), but even the supposedly newer version of the forum(EpochTalk software) isn't even finished after years now — and I doubt it will even finish. Forget it lol a lot of people wanted this for like 5 years+ now.

When many people want it, why don't developers develop it. Even Epochtalk which has not been completed to date. Does the developer need some help from active forum users to do this?
wish Bitcointalk forums had a team to do all the work, so theymos didn't work alone to revamp the look of this forum and bring a mobile forums app.

This issue is discussed so many times before as many members have already replied to your query. But one of our community member shahzadafzal made a BTC app back in time. i suggest you should give it a try. Well, the experinece might not be that sophisticated as new apps are in the market. Like colorful themes and animations.

Because its just the conversion of this Forum into App which we can do easily with little knowledge of programming but to do that, you also have some experience other wise all you efforts will be a waste. But to be honest i like it this way. Because apps then cover more storage, and might fall prey to more hacks in this way it is only vulnerable to web application's scams and hacks.

This platform I believe is an anonymous platform so I see anything downloading of app would definitely want some information for verification and authentication which is against the existence of this platform. So therefore I believe many would reject that idea or proposals of yours. This website version is okay and working perfectly well from my end with no difficulty on my web browser.  So what point initiating an app when you can access it through your web browser.

I am sure this has been discussed a few times here on the forum and I am against it as the forums work perfectly fine in the browser on your phone.
It's an Old SMF Forum however the mobile responsiveness is there. So I don't think we need a dedicated app just to access Bitcointalk. If someone from the community wants to make one with some mods, go ahead.

Yes it's responsive but you constantly need to zoom in-out, there are settings in browser with which you force site to condense in screen but that rather looks ugly.

Thank you, that's what I was trying to say, the website is not optimized for mobile use. But some people seems to misunderstand me, lol.

I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this or not, but if they have, wouldn't hurt to bring it up again right?

@op it seems you aren't comfortable with the status quo, can you please explain to us why you are not okay with the web browser in just a short period in the forum?  What benefits can we get from using an app that we are not getting using the web to access the forum which for me is seamless and less stressful as I don't have to be going through app upgrades constantly which many of us won't be fine with that.

Yes some persons has mentioned same and that's why it hurts having you brought up same topic over again. Thank you  @ever-young  for making available those thread links above op needs to see to them to understand that the idea of an app for the forum doesn't count looking at the polls from those threads.

Some people probably don't understand what responsiveness actually means in web design.

Anyway, it seems like you've already received an answer on this topic. It's unlikely that the current version of the forum will ever receive an updated responsive design or a dedicated mobile app. You'll have to wait for the new EpochTalk, just like the rest of us.

There has been a lot of discussions about it for years and as you can see, there were the links that have been provided to you. But as much as everyone wants to have it, the forum is very much responsive to mobile devices and that's why there's probably no need for it anymore. Maybe we'll be surprised in the near future and there's going to be the app that's going to be made for everybody or much better not to think and expect from it anymore as everyone is good and not that problematic at all with the current version of the forum that we've got. If I'll be asked, I want it like this way and as much as possible to remain as is.
