What are your thoughts on the mobile version of AE?

[BTW for those of you which will say AE4 will be mobile friendly, I know and I'm asking about AE3.1.0 Beta]

[KJS607]

Well considering it's exactly the same as desktop but on a tiny touchscreen...pretty shoddy but no real need to have a mobile adaptation due to the likely small number of people who use it on their phones.

I think it's Good Idea for me.

[DUMBΛSSΛΞRO]

It's ok for quick checks and tweaking, but I think after a long time the constant 'zoom in' and 'zoom out' will start to bother ya.

I honestly need like 30 tabs open to really work on my airline and mobile just isn't good for that

[tom.]

Yeah I know what you mean ^

I've been playing on the mobile version for nearly a year now.

We need an app. Using it on my iPhone 6 is a chore.

We need mobile app.

... And you think Yuxums has time for that? AE4 is already years behind schedule

[Stevphfeniey]

If y'all want a mobile app so much why don't you make it?

Might just do that

If I knew how to code then I'd ****ing make it.

Also, it's pretty tricky to start without an API available.

Loading the entire webpage in the background just to repopulate in your own format is a terrible design.

 

And if you cheap out and use a Browser sim in your app, well you might as well just use the actual website.

[tom.]

Yeah, I was thinking of coding an app ( already have a concept design) but the further I look into it and make it the more I notice a coded app isn't that good, so I'm looking at using a professional program ( which I already have a couple )

Of course I'm asking Yuxi for permission first

[Zentorno]

I'd really appreciate it, using the website on a phone is real clumsy.

A Android/IOS app would be cool

[Thefireset]

I think create a mobile app on Android/IOS is a good idea. But don't wait AE4 if you want to do it because you will wait the rest of your life 

[PiggyWhiskey]

The problem with making one now, there's no API for the data.

You'd need to load the entire website, several times to get all the information. And then format it programmatically

[tom.]

Yeah, I'm looking into a quicker way Thanks
