New app / phone ready
Jump to: Newest in thread
Isn’t it time a new app was brought out on iPhone and android?
One where you have full access to everything?
Where the cams work?
Notifications for messages?
I’m sure this site makes a good income, so a little reinvestment would pay off for them ..
Thanks |

Thanks again |

They do switch it on without you knowing. If you use a vpn or a browser like opera that has a vpn built in. If that works it is definitely an isp block. |

"There's a problem (especially with Apple) with apps that have adult content.
The web app works pretty well, although you can only view cams in the chat room via Android.
"
Adobe do not allow Apple to use Flash player. Hence the problem with viewing cams on iPhone, iPad etc. |

More fragmentation of the site increases costs and complexity, potentially meaning that other long requested features get pushed back or may not happen. It also means testing, maintenance or new stuff is more complicated to get done. I think most people would prefer other improvements, compared to an apple app.
From a business perspective, it also takes full control away from yourself, as you are subject to apple rules, whims, potential costs etc. Is it so bad atm? I don't know if chat is Html5 or flash but it could be an issue.
The biggest point that many users have raised, on the many times this has been discussed, is that it could potentially flood the site with people who are viewed as less desirable, who get the app but are very different to the type of people that many here want.
The site doesn't publish most its plans and thoughts upon business opportunities or strategy, as this would also be commercially sensitive.
Having the right people here is a priority for most of us, with the ideal goal being to have less unsuitable, time wasters etc |

"I agree. It's time an app was released. 78% of all people access the internet through a mobile device and not a PC now.

What would an app give you, that simply logging in doesn't?
Where do you get the 78% from?
And how many of the "78%" are site members?
It's a bad idea IMHO.

There is no benefit to a native mobile app over a web app for a site such as this.
However the Web app is very dated and really could do with a revamp in my opinion. I'm biased though since developing Web applications is my job. |

I agree that the web app is very dated and also agree it does need a revamp, however, there should be a mobile app in my opinion. Signing in and out of web applications is reminiscent of times where you logged into the internet for emails or the use of a PC was the only method for instant messaging.
Yes there are those that will refer you to the apple policy guidelines that need to be followed, however, these policies only indicate that user content of a sexual nature needs to be hidden by default which is fortunately programmable. The benefit for mobile applications enabling IM is instant connectivity. Most of my contacts usually swap another social media’s platform details to chat on there which wouldn’t be required if this platform had a mobile application. My opinion might be slightly biased as I spent time developing applications. |

It gives notifications of messages!
Fingerprint acces .. ( important for this I feel)
And let’s be honest the site is very dated ..
I can’t believe that Fab lacks a few quid for investment.. |

Download Puffin if you are on android and use the full site, not the mobile one, here's a link for ios users as apple no longer support Puffin https://www.lifewire.com/iphone-browsers-support-flash-1999351
Your cam on phone or tablet will work if you choose one of these options. |

We get notifications of messages already.
You can already use fingerprint access on your phone if you want.
Your answers to these too please;

Thanks.

If I follow what you're suggesting, you can already have a link to Fab on your phone home screen, we have....

I can't get who's mobile nearby to work. My location is in but the onscreen instructions aren't for my phone, android. What they say to do doesn't exist on my phone. Works on other peoples phones but not mine! |

I don't think the mobile app is that bad - it's largely a simplified menu for functionality on the desktop site.
My preference would be for other site improvements overall, using many of the features that many have asked for for some time. Other features like better search options, could be a fair better use of resources. |
