WebkinzInsider iTouch/iPhone App? - UPDATE: Success!

[Alcnor]

I think that a WebkinzInsider App for the iTouch/iPhone would be a great addition. Although you can browse WI on the iTouch/iPhone through Safari, it is difficult to read, even when zoomed in, and impossible to scroll in the reply boxes. In addition, the graphics such as the smilies and avatars sometimes glitch, and do not appear.

An app could sell for $0.99, and could be used to raise money for the site, as well as making it more accesible through mobile devices

Let me see what it can do, I think I might like to have it so even I can have better access to the forums from my iPhone.

I have to say that it is much better than the iPhone skin and is a great application for me on the go!

You have to determine whether the $2.99 is worth it or not!

This is exactly what I need. I'm always frustrated because you havee to zoom in and you can't hit the reply as you said. This is a really good idea and have of the $0.99 could go to Wi.

Again, youur idea blew me away because we really need this!!

[Alcnor]

Wow, thanks for the positive feedback, guys! I'm glad to know that it's not just me

[icebear]

Oh my gosh, i've been waiting for somebody to say something! I would buy one of those for my i phone! We would need an App developer, though.

[Alcnor]

Definitely, but with a forum this big, there's sure to be someone who knows how to make a good app

I really love this idea, Alcnor... you never know, it could happen! Great thinking.

[Alcnor]

Thanks ave, it's the kind of idea that might get off the ground someday, but as you said, you never know! Hopefully, we can rally enough tech nerds who go through WI withdrawal to actually be credible

Great idea! And it would be a great chance for profit for WI!
