My husband and I travel to a lot of different car shows and I think that it would be a good idea to have an app for the iphone so that if you are broke down in hell you can get on the HAMB right away and find out if anyone lives in hell and if they could help........ Any opinions.......
See this thread.... HAMB APP for iPhone sure would be cool! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=388713&highlight=iphone
How about the TapaTalk app... I have it on my www.oldwillysforum.com site, and it works great. It's easy to add to the forum, just upload a file folder to the server. It wouldn't be a custom designed app with HAMB graphics, but it would make surfing the HAMB fast and easy on a smart phone. Pete
yep, can you install tapatalk for this forum. its free for board onwers. and as an app its not limited to the Steve jobs acolytes. ie works on Droid. so come on hamb, its free to you to!
hell my cell phone is so old it has a rotary dial...................whats a app do and how would it help HAMBers
app = application. Just liek a program - MS word, Vbulletin, etc etc Alows users to read an online board and respond when using a smaller screen and range of options. Most forums are OK using the web browser on your phone but using something like tapatalk makes it far easier to view and reply in threads on a smart phone. (there the one's without a rotary dial ) like blueskies I use it on a ski forum here in oz. works a treat to view the board when your not in front of a desktop computer or have a laptop with wireless access with you. It just requires the board owner to install some software on their server. Free too! pretty pics here: http://www.tapatalk.com/en/mobile details here: http://www.tapatalk.com/
Funny, I was just going to ask about this, as my iPhone prompted me to download Tapatalk the other night when I opened the HAMB. I was reluctant to spend $2.99 before I found out what other iPhone-using HAMBsters thought about it. If there's a HAMB app coming, I'll just wait for that. Oh, and for those who wonder what the downside of using the browser is, I'd say it's photo uploading. It's a pain to have to take a picture, upload it to Photobucket, stick it in the right folder, copy the link, then open the HAMB and paste it into a draft message. The ability to attach photos within the HAMB app would be great. -Dave
awesome. thanks Ryan. An app (or easier access than just looking at tiny web pages on the phone) will allow me to catch up with HAMB stuff while on my daily public transport here in Sydney (oz).
When I had a i-phone for 2 years I could log onto the hamb without a app. I got rid of the i-phone a month ago. I don't think a app would help me when I was driving my car.... rather keep my eyes on the road. But this is coming from someone who could live if he wasn't on the hamb for a week.
Thanks. If I "buy" the $2.99 upgrade, will Atomic Industries get the coin? Or should I wait for a separate app? Chris
We will be launching our app in the next few weeks... I want it to be free, but not sure if that is going to happen or not yet. It will be similar to tapatalk, but will have a few more features.
