ThirdGen.Org On..

I Think TGO should get a phone application for Android Phones. This would be awesome to be able to access one of my favorite sites at the touch of my hand. Having a Application Would Make Accessability 1000 Times Better, especially if you need a quick answer and dont have time to log onto a pc and ask and go back and forth. Here are some pros

3)Chat With People
4) Classfields
5) Read/Post Threads with ease
6) If you Travel You Can Still See whats Going on.

And There Are Many more And Hopefully You Guys Will Look into this, Didnt Know where to Post This But Hopefully Everyone Likes This And TGO Tries Something Out.

I would Donate $$ to help out and Im pretty sure Others Would Too.

Re: ThirdGen.Org On..

I asked about tapatalk and it's a no go. Pro Touring has a nice app, won't happen here either. Was told there would be a mobile theme but it's still not there. I access this site a lot on my phone but convenient...no, the drop down menus are a pita especially with the banner in the back getting clicked by accident.

Re: ThirdGen.Org On..

Yea, But im talking about a Individual app of its own, Not Corporated with another app so it can be TGO made. Im pretty sure Quiet a Few People Would Chip Atleast 5 or 10$ to help out with this.

Re: ThirdGen.Org On..

We are well aware of the benefits of a mobile app and I believe we will have a solution in the near future. We were supposed to have one last year, but it fell through with its own problems. We will not install the Tapatalk app, due to security concerns, and so that is off the table. I'll be checking into a status update on this, soon.

Re: ThirdGen.Org On..

If an app is made they should make it for android and Iphones. I would be ill if an android app was made and I couldn't use it. Im voting yes but hope it works with both.

I hate the fact that I don't have a search option on the app. my only way to get on the net is my android. I end up not referring to tgo for info , just because we all know how fast you get blasted for not searching first. other than that. cool app.

All I did was save the message board as a wallpaper link. Works like a charm. I'm on the iPhone 4. Cool thing about it is that I can see pictures and a YouTube video that is embedded in a thread. No more "click video link and open YouTube app.
