Thinking about having a custom R2R app made for iphone, ipad, and android devices. This is rather expensive so I would like your input. This app would allow you to just click on the R2R app on be on the forums as well as other perks you can only get by having a custom app created.

With the cost on the high side I am thinking we would have to charge a one time fee between .99 and 1.99 for the app. Please state your opinions and also vote in the poll.

Thanks.

What additional benefits can you gain that apps like tapatalk does not provide?

Don't get me wrong I would buy the app, I'm just wondering if there is anything to gain with a custom app.

Just my $0.02

I feel I would heck I spent 5 bucks so my kids can cut a rope and swing candy into a mouth on the iPad and three days later it's old and they need a new one. I visit the site at lease 8 times a day.

Yes but with a custom app you get:

-Push notification support. Get private message and subscribed thread updates from your favorite forums in the background! Basically if you get a PM you can have it set to where your phone notifies you.
-Poll updates (Messages/Subscriptions) from favorites on home screen
-View graphical poll results and vote on forum polls
-Image attachment thumbnail and full size viewing from threads
-View a thread page's image attachments in one convenient browser
-Save thread images to your iPhone/iPod Touch library
-Fully searchable forums
-Attach unlimited photos from your library (or take photo from camera and upload to forum)
-Full support for thread subscriptions - track your favorite threads!

And more...

I think it would be nice because I know I could post pics and videos easier and stay in contact with the forum better.
