I think a mobile app would be awesome for EC... Just saying

Tiny Catastrophe · 9th May 2011, 09:55 PM

I totally agree

It's pretty high on our list. There's a complete mobile version of vBulletin, the forum software we use, and it seems at least somewhat likely we'll implement it when we upgrade, provided that we can tweak it to provide the same security provisions that the regular EC has.

There was a thread about Tapatalk, a proprietary multiple-platform forum app, but it may not work with ECs security customisations. I'm all for this - the mobile theme sucks and the desktop theme on an iPod touch, landscape, is just about usable.

The only time that can be on ec is on my iPod so a mobile app would be the most helpful thing seeing as I get logged out everytime I refresh a page

If I made a mobile app it would be called Gaydar and shall be used to out yourself to other gay men or women with the app. Then again someone might have already made it.

I thought that was known as TapTalk?

Unless you mean a mobile "skin" of sorts, which a lot of forums have, which if yes refer to Chips answer

I own a license for Vb CMS 4.x and I believe that works without adding a "mobile version." Im not sure what y'll are running here but I would guess vB forum 3.8, with that being said. If Jelsoft has released a mobile version compatible with the current version EC is using it should be able to be "tweak" to your liking. Jelsoft doesnt really release software without putting in the proper testing.
