Official TouchArcade App Now Available

[MacRumors]

Our sister site TouchArcade.com has launched an official iOS app this morning.

​

TouchArcade is a site focused on game news and reviews for Apple's iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad platforms. The new iOS app features website content, easy game discovery, user forums, as well as app tracking abilities. Games can be added to your "Watch List" so you can be notified of sales, official reviews, and updates.

Meanwhile, we have already started working with the same app developers (Flexibits) and designer (Bartelme) to begin work on an official MacRumors app. It's too early to predict a timeframe, but we hope to launch this year.

The TouchArcade app is available now and is free to download. [iTunes Link]

Good to know you guys are working on the Macrumors app

 

[Mac Fly (film)]

Charge $0.99 for it, we'll all gladly pay.

 

[Moonjumper]

Looking forward to a Mac Rumors app. The forums are a bit fiddly on an iPhone as they are.

 

[ovrlrd]

Great work, would love to see an iPad version though.

I think we can all agree that we want a MacRumors app! Creating a shortcut does the trick for now though, the new mobile site has improved dramatically.

Good on'ya, Mate!

So a knocked off of app shopper app?

Bet you Game Center will get something like this in iOS 7.

As long as it has push notifications and an equal or better forum interface than Tapatalk. As you implied with the shortcuts it's been so overdue most of us have complete solutions already figured out that we set up years ago.

You can use Tapatalk forum app on the iPhone or iPad. It works perfectly.

Ha, awkward if the MacRumors app gets rejected from the App Store......

Appshopper is owned by MacRumors

They (well, Arn) own:
- MacRumors
- TouchArcade
- Appshopper

A nice little business!

 

[diamond.g]

I am curious to see if contributors that use the MacRumors app will still not see ads (if the app is free).

So if they are both owned by MC y would you have 2 apps that do the samething?!

 

[Rennir]

I'm perfectly fine with the Tapatalk forum app

Same reason there's both TouchArcade.com and AppShopper.com?

not showing up when u search the app store...

 

[TwinCities Dan]

Pretty ironic that this is front page news. Obviously much more important than the MacRumors app. This proves the priority level.

I had to search for "TouchArcade The Best New Games" and it found it.

LOL. That didn't even work for me. "Touch Arcade The Best New Games" did, with the space.
