That's a lot of work that can break anytime the website makes a change to their naming conventions or layout just for some people to avoid having to use the desktop site on their phone.

^this

This place doesnt have many users to justify it to make an app.

Not needed. Todays smart phones are more than capable of running the full site. Personally for me, I would rather view things on the computer rather than an app. What do you expect to be able to do with a mobile app? Reply or start topics? Just reply and compose messages? Browsing the forum is best suited for the computer.

An upgrade to this existing site would be great.

Trying to give it another shot to impress me right now but I can only find camaro5 to subscribe to, not camaro6...

They don't need an "app" necessarily. The owners of Camaro6 are apparently too cheap to pay for vBulletin 4 or newer which has a proper mobile view.

TRZ06 · 04-28-2019, 04:45 PM

Interesting. Some strong opinions here.

The main purpose for the question is I want a Camaro6 mobile version that is designed around the smart phone and has the UI for a mobile device.

I am rarely on a full PC or Mac during the day (work computer does not count, as some employers monitor internet activity) and it would just be nice to have a mobile version.

Most other major car forums have them.

That was the whole point of me posing the question.

Phone browser works just fine. rather have concise design and not wasteful whitespace bullshit that passes for mobile apps or many websites that try to push mobile look on desktop.

Lookin for solution for problem that doesn't exist.
