Possibly getting an App [resolved]

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

I love hearing about the possibility of adding an app =)
I think that would really help with the community boards and along with website ease.
Looking forward to it!!

When I first joined, I immediately searched for an app in the app store. Making an app is a great idea!

As a new user, I am wondering the same. I only have an Android phone, as I had to pawn my laptop a few months ago. Typing reviews on my phone, as well as in popular forums, is hell and makes my keyboard lag. Overall, I will say this website is not so friendly to strictly mobile users, and I would love to make more use of the forums, but only being on an Android phone almost makes that impossible. I submitted a review today and it took over an hour to type simply because of the laggy interface on a mobile device's keyboard.

I agree with you. An app would be great. Also, I would add the site needs to be updated. It still looks like a 90's forum. Maybe some new designs would make thing a little bit easier.

I agree completely! An app would make this way more convenient and might attract a wider audience. It would be especially cool if the app had scanning technology so books could be added to your bookshelf by scanning the barcode or cover page.

I'm sad to see this website isn't an app yet, and that the kickstarter didn't meet it's goal. Any updates on the possibility of revisiting app creation for Online Book Club?

I agree with the idea of developing an app for this site because it will make it grow even more

This is on the list of future features to be implemented and has been for awhile. There's just not a "quick fix" for it (especially if you want it to work :lol: ). :tiphat:

I know so many people have already said what I'm about to say but still:

An app would be amazing!
I mean, first day here I did search for the app on my phone and it was a bummer that I didn't find one. The point is, with an app, participating in discussions and being more active in general would be easier. So... yeah! App! App! App! :D
