One of the bigger side projects for dvxuser this year is to develop our own mobile web version of dvxuser for any mobile device (or the bandwidth restricted), as well as native android and ios dvxuser apps that we can grow and make feature rich (beyond just browsing dvxuser) over time.

So, first a question... just to get a feel if nothing else... What mobile device are you most likely to browse dvxuser on? Android, iOS, or Other?

The poll is private (meaning your username is not displayed with whatever you vote), and you can choose more than one option if you need to.

2nd, please feel free to drop your suggestions for a future mobile web version, and/or apps for dvxuser.

The tabbed browsing that went live here in rudimentary form is something that will become more robust over time, and also something that will translate to the mobile versions of the site in the future. Ultimately, you will all be able to have a custom tab that you can set up with any forum categories, forums, or sub-forums and organize to your taste, and then set it as your default tab (registered users only, of course).

Plan is for it all to be free to you guys. Which also means it's a goal over the course of this year, as we have to pay the bills still :)

Think that's it for now. Just looking to start conversation so as mobile development moves forward, I have something to reference for user ideas and suggestions.
 
I use a combination of iOS and Android devices and would definitely use apps for both. I lurk more than I post here, but would still find it very handy.
 
Personally, I'm on DVXuser either on an iMac, iPad or iPhone. As of late, I haven't been able to view the page on my mobile devices as I once did. Not sure if that's an issue for anyone else, however, from what I read I assume that the reason I can't view the mobile version any longer is due to the new site layout? If anyone else can chime in, I'd appreciate it.

As far as suggestions go, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for the folks at DVXuser to create an actual app for the site rather than just a mobile version. Probably way more work to develop such an app but I think with over 89,000 users on the forum I'm sure I'm not the only who would pay for a DVXuser app! I find that apps are usually easier to navigate and load faster as well. I think that's something we can all agree on, faster is better. Just my two cents of course.

Great job with the update btw.

the mobile style we had before, had some issues post-upgrade.

there will eventually be a mobile web version, as well as android and iOS apps.

But, they will be Free :)
 
Hi, just wondering if there have been any efforts lately to create a mobile DVXuser app. Or is there one and I just can't find it?

thanks,
Scott
 
hey man - not sure why you guys want to go native app.

A responsive front end of what you have would seem to be an inexpensive solution to all your needs
 
J... definitely, and it will probably be considerably before any native apps. Just looking toward the future, and wanting to cover more bases.
 
We have how many thousands of users signed up and only 40 people voted?

Ollie: "What makes you say that?"
Stan: "Nobody could be bothered to show up!"
 
I realize this is an old thread, but I would really like to see Tapatalk integration in this forum. I browse many other boards through Taptalk on my phone and it's great. I was a bit surprised to see such a big forum like this doesn't have it.
