Pistonheads App!
Discussion
Hello.
It may be a topic that has been discussed before, but I did a quick search and could not find anything.
Anyway, I was just wondering if you have ever thought about creating an app for smart phones and iPads etc. It is easier said than done but surely the great minds behind Pistonheads could come up with a cool app to entertain members. I will leave the details/content up for debate. Maybe a member log-in to keep it PH only.
The only reason I ask is because I caused some confusion on a thread where others thought I had access to an app.

Sorry. I had a thought it may have been discussed before, I just did not find any in my quick search.In regards to the question on what other benefits it would bring I was thinking that it could be an addition to the mobile site rather than just a re-hash of it. I said I would leave the finer details up for debate but maybe Garlick & Co could find three possible SOTW and have a vote to decide which the favourite was, or a couple of mini-games.
Again, those rough ideas are just what I thought in the past few minutes and if people can elaborate/improve or make more suggestions then that would be appreciated.
Priority numero uno is getting the current mobile version of the site a bit more polished. I generally favour sites that optimise in the browser dependent on device. If you look at say twitter this is a great example of an app feel in a browser and it works Across device. In short apps are so 2012

He doesn't mean an App for the website, but a Pistonheads app for something else. Might be a PH branded car based game, PH branded car calculator for fuel mileage or something else like compiling thread data into a useful database for car recommendations for under 5k, cars 5-10k.
Anything that the website doesn't do.

Why ? Anything that the website doesn't do.
Why offer something to one group that PH can't offer to all ? One of the great things about PH is its inclusivity.
