Have any of you thought about making a Habbox App?

[Cody]

Sarah and I said how other fan sites have an app and maybe someone should make one! but, just a little thought... :D

Thread moved by Calum0812 (Forum Super Moderator) from 'Graphics' as it's better suited here.

There's tapatalk or w/e for mobiles and we have mobile skins to make it easier to navigate on smaller devices, not sure what a request in the graphics section is going to achieve that we can't already do

[David]

and there was a hxl app but the license expired apparently
no one to code anything anyway

[GoldenMerc]

tapatalk USED to be good but now sucks

[Jurv]

tbf no1 would use an app anyway

[lRhyss]

There are people to code an app, it's just spreading it to all devices. Windows + Android are both free (I believe) but iOS costs like £99 or some ****. Plus Habbox use both Taptalk and provide a mobile skin, so it would be effort wasted really.

[Bloop]

tapatalk is crap

i would love a habbox app tho but apparently there are some restrictions as to fansites making apps

[IzzyUhh]

Idm tapatalk works better than goin on internet on phone

Mayb just a better app to get on the forun

Technically I own an iOS dev account.

I have no idea why this is in a graphics sub forum - but what exactly would you expect from the app/what would it be used for .ExtremeSlayer - you didn't specify anything other than 'an app'.

Most forum mobile users will use Tapatalk, so even if there were a Habbox forum app I doubt people would go to it.
Or were you referencing HabboxLive of which you can listen to the radio outside of the site?

[RyRy]

You have to ask yourself the question of... Why?

What would Habbox benefit from with an app?

What content could be put on? ow frequently would it be updated? What features would it boast which aren't readily accessible to most mobiles through browsers or other apps?

It's nothing but a gimmick idea when it comes to Habbox.

Yeah I want to do something while waiting like at my college campus haha :b

App as in a forum based app, has all the threads basically how we see it on the web except on mobile version!

[lawrawrrr]

I really like tapatalk and I know quite a lot of users use it as well so I really think doing that is a waste of what very few resources we do have! Especially now tapatalk is free as well :)

Wow, yeah I just seen that app today! For some reason it doesn't pop up in my app store very strange, but when I go into Google Chrome and load the forum it offers it! Thanks!

Related but slightly off topic question - does the forum push a notice at all about Tapatalk for cases like the above where users don't know about it?

If not, might be useful to have a one-time notice (that can be dismissed) when the forum detects people using from mobile browsers to let people know that they can download Tapatalk for a better mobile viewing experience.

I've seen it tell me about the tapatalk app a few times. It normally happens when you visit the forum for the first time or something like that on a mobile device.

Well that's cool! I also just realized that I'm an idiot and could have just taken out my phone and checked it myself. Gives a nice big notification for my Android :P Silly nvr.
