[PLANNED REQUEST] Iphone/Ipad/Android/Windows Phone App

[sothis]

We will be creating a mobile app for various devices, including Android, Iphone, Windows Phone, and slates such as Ipads.

I don't have an estimate for when this will be ready, so there is no need to reply to this thread and ask every [x time period] for if it's coming soon. Once we know more, I'll let you know. :) But, we do consider this a high priority.

In the meantime, if you have strong feelings about what this app should let you do, feel free to reply to this thread.

All duplicate threads for this topic will be immediately moved into the 'completed' section.

Thanks Sothis. This is really something that I was hoping, I am really looking forward to it.

Thank you sothis, I have been eagerly awaiting this ever since the iPhone was released. I have some connections at an app company if you need any help.

Awesome stuffs. Once the time comes around to beta test or similar I'd love to join the group to do that, I've got both Android and WP7 devices ^^

Will be looking out for it!

I actually manage ok on my Galaxy S2 just browsing the site via the android browser :)

However one thing I will mention is that the only trouble I have is with the anime pages and the tabs especially characters. I believe it is to do with the the overflow:auto or overflow:scroll css tags handling on divs in webkit based browsers. But in short it doesn't let you scroll currently which means I can only see the first 3 characters at best and can't get further.

Not sure if there is anything you can do with mobile browser detection and alternative stylesheets as a temporary fix by just expanding the divs on detection of a mobile browser instead of having a scroll. I had a look at doing something similar at university for a web project and there are bits and pieces about you can use but I never bothered going very far with them. So good luck to your developers if they attempt it :)

But looking forward to when I can view the site in full on my phone :P

Looking forward to something like this :)

Even the Tapatalk plugin for the forum would make mobile browsing so much easier.

Love this idea!

I've posted this on Facebook too. I'm a webdeveloper willing to donate my time for such an app for my favourite Anime related hangout :D so hit me if i can be of any help.

Thank you :D, I've been thinking about trying to get someone to make an Anime Planet app for the longest now! I'll be happy to download it! This is something I've been wanting for awhile now as I occasionally find myself wanting to check the site, but not near a computer. My phone suffices in most cases but I can never get the full Anime planet experience on the phone browser.
