Pokécommunity Android app?

[Arcanine x]

Hello. As some of you may know, I am new to the Pokécommunity forums and still trying to figure the way of things round here but I am settling in well and loving this great community so far. I'm not very experienced in the field of ROM hacking but I do know my way around Web & Android development, hence why I am creating this thread. I am creating this thread as a 'request' for permission to write an Android mobile app dedicated to the Pokécommunity forums as I think it will be a great step forwards for both me (as a developer) and you guys (as a great community).

In return, I don't want money nor do I want special 'perks' on the website, I just want the chance to write an app for such a fantastic community and maybe get myself 'noticed' as they call it. I don't know if this is the correct board to be writing this thread but I didn't know of anywhere else to put it.

What the app will do:
- Allow people to view/start threads on the go.
- Maybe appeal to a wider audience
- Simple, sleek interface for users comfort
And much more.

Anyway, I thank you for your time and hope you can give me this opportunity to prove myself as a developer and make something great for both of us.

Thanks again,
Keiran.

We already have an android app, its called Pokecomm. lite or something it's not to bad it could surely do with some renovations i.e. design and what I can click.

I am aware of Pokecomm but it only allows you to read the 20(about) latest threads, and I want to create an app which allows you to scour through the whole forum board and have the ability start your own threads and send messages. I also had the idea to create a separate app dedicated to moderators only, or allow moderator options on eligible accounts.

If I'm gonna be brutally honest here, Pokecomm is a terrible mobile app. I would welcome an attempt at making a better one.

You're very well able to create threads from the PokéCommunity Android app and browse the rest of the forum as well if you just click on the menu icon at the bottom right corner ;) but I will agree that it isn't the best solution for posting, but keep in mind that the app wasn't designed for advanced posting like you're on a computer.. it was designed to make simple posts on the go.

I'll be honest, while I like Pokecomm lite, It isn't without its faults. can be buggy at times and I don't like how it doesn't register as really being online, because it doesn't email about subscribed threads afterwards. the messaging is clumsy too. that said, it's way quicker To post from the app as opposed To the webpage. it's definitely an app that needs a bit of tweaking so I'd love To see your version of it Arcanine :-D
