This is sounding better and better.

Can't wait. Neither can my members! I hope I am on the early adopter list as I have sent a pm

You and me both.

We actually had such a massive response that rather than do a select few testing, instead every person who gets in touch will get the opportunity to be part of the initial release test on a schedule we have drawn up

 

[RobParker]

Any vague timeframe yet? Not in any rush but it'd be handy to know something like "this month", "within a few months", "after easter", etc?

I hope, that should our internal testing go well, within a few weeks.

1) Screen size, a design for a 2 pane design for tablets is being worked on, more info on this will be available nearer the design completion, for an idea the current line of thought is something similar to the BBC news app on tablets, where the left side will have navigation, forums, threads etc, and the right hand side will display the content, posts, conversations etc.

I really like off-canvas menu's that slide in/out when required, with just a few key menu items always available (eg. 'New Posts' when browsing forums). Enables the full screen real-estate to be effectively used, and brings in/out the navigation when required.

[king8084]

will you have to be member to use the app? and if yes, can the people register through the app?

I know ios version is first but is the andoid version also being worked on? Does that version look any different?

We haven't decided on how to handle this yet, we are aware a lot of boards use 3rd party addons and advanced anti-bot registration measures which using an api would render ineffective. Most likely we will forward them to the registration page for this, so as to not give bots an additional attack vector.

It will have some minor tweaks to fit with an android UI but mostly the same.

Thanks, i thought as much. I am dying to get my hands on a test build of this. Now i am familiar with android and .apks however i am sure with ios i can not simply install a ios app to test will there be info on how we can test on ios and what we need to do to test it on a device once released?

I am going to subscribe to TT premium BYO today, but @Nobita.Kun tell me about this one. I believe this native app will be better then everything on the market now. thank you

Would one need a developer account with Apple to out the app online? (iOS version)

 

[RobParker]

Already answered. If you don't have an iOS dev account Slavik will publish it for you.

 

[Slavik]

Thanks Rob,

I am hoping in the next couple of days to make a video of the app in use as it currently is development wise. Watch this spot

 

[DeltaHF]

Can't wait to see it, Slavik!
