Mobile App

[Eric]

This suggestion is more of a purchase, there's this mobile app system https://xenforo.com/community/resou...with-addon-theme-support-android-iphone.4731/ which is essentially a mobile app and supports iOS and Android. It would have a massive benefit for all of the MCM addicts and make it far easier to use on a mobile device. Best thing is, it hooks directly into the XenForo existing database and everything, essentially plug-in and go.
An example of this is the fact that I'm literally doing this on my phone right now

mobile website already looks fine, there are a *few* tiny issues however none of them make the site unusable, it works perfectly fine on mobile

I'm curious what the security of this app is. Is it possible to use this app to purchase ranks, ads or resources? if so, how secure is it, and can it be used to gain access to things you should not (other people's accounts, etc?).
How is sensitive data handled? If you log in, how is your password stored/transmitted?
etc etc

Why not TapaTalk?

After looking more, I wouldn't even want to login let alone try to purchase something.

I'm uncomfortable because of the fact that the addon is propriety and they can be doing literally anything with your data or running unwrapped, and instead their own, pages that require you to input sensitive data. Not to mention it's third party,

exactly. This is why I believe both Mick and Bebosny refused mobile app suggestions, because they were unwilling to trust third parties with user logins, and also unwilling to make the considerable investment needed to develop a custom app.
Anyone curious about why it's a bad idea to trust third parties with your data, check the account breaches listed here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Check an email, if you wish. The site is one of the few that's reliable, designed and managed by a renowned australian cybersecurity expert.
Pay special attention to where the breaches are from. Dropbox, Linkedin, Myspace (lol), Tumlr, Patreon, many many others.
These aren't just your average shady third parties, these are giant big well-known things, and still there was customer data leaked/stolen from their databases.[DOUBLEPOST=1486108475][/DOUBLEPOST]This is also why I generally use my email generator for logging into sites that really don't need my actual email address.

I already suggested this to Mick but he didnt think that now is a good time for a mobile app lol

I have looked into Turnkey Mobile's applications they make, and even sent them emails to discuss their pricing and demos with them.

This has been suggested probably at least 10 times by now and has been denied each time, but Turnkey's simplicity of their thingies is pretty cool.

etc etc

These people do work on xenForo and vBulletin and do it for some forums of similar size to us, they are pretty reputable within the community from what I can see.

I'm sure they're reputable. I'm sure the people who designed and setup the DropBox databases are also reputable. Yet they still had a leak of 68 million accounts, because there was a crucial weakness somewhere.
Anyway, I've yet to see a good argument as to why an app is necessary over the mobile site, so no need to worry about it yet I guess.

I see what you mean, I just feel like a mobile application would be beneficial for everyone, rather than using the website version since navigating is a bitch.

I would honestly love using this instead of going onto chrome.

I think no one would oppose this, but I assume the reason it's been declined before is the amount of money it'd cost.

I'd love to see this developed. (+1)
