cooky560 Veteran Posted February 19, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2011 Well as the title asks, much like there is an iPhone app for IPB Forums, is there an Android app for Neowin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted February 19, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2011 Have you been to the forums on mobile devices? It's freaking awesome! :D Timan coded up some sweetness there for sure! No app needed! I know people went app crazy but it's getting kinda crazy these days. In some cases, mobile sites are even more feature rich than the app can provide.

cooky560 Veteran Posted February 19, 2011 Author Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have been to mobile neowin and while it does look awesome it;s sometimes too large and introduces a horizontal scroll, in addition being able to see notifcations for watched topics etc would be a nice touch.

Unix2 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I agree, you don't need an app to view neowin. I use android as well and the movil site is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoEight Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 If you just want a link on your homescreen you can add neowin as a bookmark and add it from your bookmarks menu. T8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Maybe add the "Tapatalk" plugin to the board, tapatalk is a sweet way to browse forums on mobile devices (Spork), SoCalRox and Glassed Silver 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_f Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Maybe just use a webkit view in a native app so you can distribute the web app via the markets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PreKe Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well as the title asks, much like there is an iPhone app for IPB Forums, is there an Android app for Neowin? Yes, it's called "opening your browser and visiting the site". I don't get all this app madness. I get it's "cool and hip", but it's completely unnecessary for a site like Neowin.

cooky560 Veteran Posted February 20, 2011 Author Veteran Share Posted February 20, 2011 with the browser that comes with my phone, Neowin on browser has massive horizontal scroll bars at any readable size, this isn't really as good as using an app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJerman Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 An app could be nice if done properly. If it had notifications, it would be nice. Otherwise the mobile site works great. One of the best mobile sites on any site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted February 21, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 21, 2011 There is no need for an App just create a bookmark and put the icon on your home screen and you do not need an app. The mobile site is VERY well designed to work on mobile devices. And looks great as well. Here is the site (with Black Theme) And here is an Icon for it on the home Screen. Just as good as an Application.

.Neo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The mobile website works just fine on Android. No real need for a dedicated app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatiasRaudzus Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Tapatalk is what the OP needs to get, however, neowin would have to install the plugin for it. He just doesn't want to browse neowin's forums if I read his OP correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
