The app we have for the mighty android is a pretty basic one but definitely does the job for the forum section and also gets you notifications directly to your phone. The app is ultimately ran by Tapatalk, which is another way to access FG for the forums. Apple rejected the app has they are quite stringent and Tapatalk have been told they will struggle to get their apps onto Apple. We could try but it would cost $99 per year to firstly own a developer account. I already pay $10 per month for the app for us all on android, which is currently worthwhile.
However, whilst we build incremental changes to here and eventually we naturally grow like we have done recently, I've always stated my number one goal is to create the entire site into an App. It is the way pretty much most people communicate through so absolutely want to do this but it could cost some serious money. That doesn't put me off but it would take time for me to save up for something like that.
If you can offer your skills up then that would be ace to talk more about it. Personally though I do have a vision how I see most of it, which allows people to access all sections via an app (Forums, Videos, Calendar becoming like a better LFG, etc) and the main thing it is for is the convenience of it alongside notifications to your phone, like an instant messenger.
And in relation to funds, I have put a considerable amount into this place, like others have. I won't rule out asking for Donations at all (I keep the button on the site) however, people have invested a lot, even before my time and this is our home and my hobby so i'm not into making people feel they have to give money to be here. If they do, then amazing, but one step at a time. What stuff can you do with apps then Matt?
