Hey,
If I was to make one, would you be interested in installing a HabboxForum application on your iPhone/iPod touch? (Which you could use to browse the forum quicker, etc).
I'm thinking about learning X Code/iPhone SDK and I thought this could be an application I could make to get started.
What do you think?

If you dont mind paying the money to join the iPhone Developers Club.
It's only $99, and I guess I could develop other applications if I get enough knowledge from making a HxF application.
I wouldn't mind installing it.
would be better to do a application that can preview vbulletin boards better.Quote:

I don't quite understand the need for one now there is a mobile skin? It would be good if some additional features could be added to that but I can't see much demand really.
I'd rather there were just a few additional features to the mobile skin really :P
You just make the application for vB forums and have a plugin for hxf
Well for one, the mobile skin is bloody ugly and I may be able to make it easier to view pm's, post replies, etc.Quote:

I'd use it, definetly.
Well, I'm finishing the X Code & iPhone SDK installation now and I'll start looking at the X Code language tonight.
I would install it :).
I would use it
Sorry but I would not, are you really going to use the forum on the go? its hardly practical.
It is if it was similar to the Facebook and MySpace applications. The black bar at the bottom with all the buttons on (as seen in the Facebook App), one for the PM system, one for subscribed threads and one for forum options and details... then one that just shows all the forums.Quote:

Before spending your money you may want to download the free personal version just to make sure you are able to make the app ;)
I would like PMs, and in fact, there would be a practical way of posting, forget making it look like the forum itself, make it look like the menus (like the one in settings), bar for habbo forums, clicking takes you to subforms, and further onwards, would work better.
But I still would not use it.
If you want that you may aswell use safari.Quote:

Sounds good, give it a try =D
I would not use it, as I do not have an iPhone.
So why post? :rolleyes:
Then why post?? :S Just realised Tawm said exactly the same thing, LOL.Quote:

Been done for free if you jailbreak.
You should add a poll :P
And I would download it.
I would use it ;)
Maybe some of us don't want to jailbreak :rolleyes:Quote:

They are a waste of money for what features you are getting TBH, that's probably what he meant.Quote:

It's a decent idea but I just don't use Habbox on my iPod Touch that much and safari is decent enough for me.
This will never work, Apple won't accept the application because its for one site and its an un-popular, (niche) teenager site. They are very strict on what iPhone apps they accept.
But if it were for vBulletin sites in general, then they might. Dunno if it were for just HxFQuote:
