[Merged] Interest in an iPhone or iPad App for MacRumors.com - Page 6

RedTomato · Jul 21, 2009, 06:19 PM

Any progress on the MR app?

Are you still waiting for a response from Arn? If so, let us know here, and maybe a mod will notice.

WildCowboy · Jul 22, 2009, 12:01 PM

It's a project we're interested in, and yes, we've talked with Saladinos about it.

celticpride678 · Jul 22, 2009, 12:05 PM

The thing I don't understand is, is Apple really going to allow a site about APPLE rumors and talking about hacking and forums talking about their products not working or other things like that in the App Store? I don't think so.

I wondered the same thing until MDN got their app approved.

I see no problem. It's essentially a news website. There are many news websites that have their own iphone apps - Sky News, NYTimes etc etc, all of which sometimes report negative news or conjectures about Apple. The china iphone suicide is all over these sites at the moment, plus a dozen more news website iphone apps.

Also MR has been quite stringent in not allowing any detailed discussion of how to circumvent Apple copyrights or hackintosh how-tos etc, which is the same stance as these other news organs take.

DiamondMac · Jul 22, 2009, 04:18 PM

I would without doubt love to have it and would use it often....probably daily

Saladinos · Jul 24, 2009, 12:22 PM

Yup, I've been in touch with WildCowboy and am working on it.

101X · Aug 3, 2009, 10:00 AM

MacRumors should make an app. it would be awesome!

glad to hear it! and looking forward to it!

creon · Aug 24, 2009, 11:53 PM

Was brainstorming and thinking that an app of MR would be a very useful tool! I find myself on the site every so often and thought an app of our beloved MR would be just what the doctor ordered! What do you guys think? Worth the time to design?

NewMacbookPlz · Aug 26, 2009, 06:41 PM

That would be awesome! (Sorry for being late to the party

)

Heck, if the App Store wouldn't approve it, even a web-app would be pretty nice. I'm not a huge fan of the mobile version of the MR forums, but a either a native app or a webapp would be pretty slick...

ziggyonice · Aug 28, 2009, 01:40 AM

Check it out, TUAW just released their app into the App Store.

I wonder if it will get pulled... I doubt it though...

Has anyone ever tried 'Forums' by Connex? Looks like it can hook into vBulletin sites liek MacRumors and do the basic nicely.

squirrellydw · Sep 1, 2009, 12:15 PM

I know you probably don't have a firm release date but any idea, weeks months? Also any idea on price, I have no problem paying for it as long as it is resonable, under $5

Saladinos · Sep 11, 2009, 08:26 PM

App is making good progress.

Not going to talk about too much until it's done (or nearly done). Premature to talk about price, but probably free.

Rest assured, I am working on it, and when there's news, I'll say something.

RedTomato · Sep 12, 2009, 03:21 AM

That's good to see. Thanks for popping up to say the project is still alive.

I would gladly pay a few $ for a well made Mac Rumors iPhone app.
How about U guys?

Roughnet13888 · Sep 30, 2009, 12:57 AM

I would love to have one.

Is this the "official" macrumors app or some non affiliated dev?

thegoldenmackid · Oct 7, 2009, 10:00 PM

Doubt it.

opticalserenity · Oct 7, 2009, 10:06 PM

Considering we offered to make a full app that would allow you to browse the forums and post, search, etc, and never even got a response from Arn, I highly doubt it.

techfreak85 · Oct 7, 2009, 10:10 PM

it says Rodgers in the iTuenes store for the screenshots, and as far as I know, Arn lives in the US.(?)
