Anybody else think it would be cool to have an iboats iPhone forum app? I find myself messing around on these forums at all hours of the day when I'm bored.

It would also be cool to be able to upload pics using the app too... Take a picture and update your thread all while on your boat! I'm a fan!

Re: Iboats app

that would be a good idea. it's hard to get on the forum with a iphone or ipod touch with the online browser

Also if you were out on the water and your engine crapped out you could do a quick search and try to trouble shoot the problem quickly to get back to shore.

Re: Iboats app

People have been posting and asking questions via smartphones for years. Happened all last summer and the summer before. The iphone safari browser works and so does the android and blackberry.............

If you want a cutsy little app I do not think there is one in the works yet.........

I'm aware that a smartphone browser will work, thats what i used to post this thread:p just saying it would be neat to have it as an app. Its not "cutesy" its convenient, And no there is not one that works yet thats why i posted this thread sir. Just making a suggestion.

Re: Iboats app

yeah!! the website works fine on smartphones and tablets, but an app could eliminate the bs and get straight down to the forum itself!!

Facebook works fine on smart phones. So does ESPN and many other websites. Apps just make things a bit more convenient and streamline. I don't think people use them because they are cutesy, they save time and make things easier.
