BIMMERPOST App on iOS (iPhone, iPad) - Page 4 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

aajami · 10-31-2010, 02:03 PM

Here's a suggestion for the next release: Mark posts that are submitted via the app with a special icon of some sort (iPhone, mobile device, etc) that has a tooltip about the app and takes people to the iTunes download page when clicked.

TommyK · 10-31-2010, 02:16 PM

been waiting for this app for a while

Mark · 10-31-2010, 02:17 PM

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, almost everything being suggested so far have been excellent thoughts and are actually being worked on in one way or another

Development is going steady, this version of the app took a few months to get it to where it is, and we are still moving forward adding more forum features to the app (like user profiles etc) while fixing the bugs that are still in the current app.

But I can say we really appreciate all the positive words about the app, it really makes all the effort worth it.

Dont forget to give feedback for the app in the app store to help it get noticed! Thanks!

Posting this from the app...

Pretty nice! Loads much faster with the app than with safari.

ElBolo · 10-31-2010, 04:54 PM

Just installed it and tried to post on the forum for the first time. Only half of my post was posted lol... app looks dope though!

krypt0 · 10-31-2010, 06:10 PM

Very good design. Keep up the good work!

335iheLLraiseR · 10-31-2010, 07:45 PM

I love this page.

Posted using Bimmerpost App.

MORRWheels · 10-31-2010, 07:58 PM

Suggestion: Under the Forums section, on the forums display it shows the Title, Brief description, Original Poster and time of last post. It would like to see the last person who posted right next to the last post time. This helps keep track if a thread has been updated recently or not.

Loving it so far!

NycE93M3 · 10-31-2010, 09:04 PM

After using it a bit I have this to suggest:

1) "Next page bar" behavior.
When scrolling through threads, the "next page" bar shows up at the bottom.
I find it slightly annoying as it blocks the text under it and it's easy to tap "next" when I'm scrolling recklessly.

My suggestion is to make the "next page bar" only appear when the screen is tapped or double tapped and when you reach the bottom of the page - not when you're scrolling through a thread.

2) Zoomable pictures.
Being able to tap on a pic and bring up a full screen view of the pic. Similar to the default "Photos" app.

3) Post previews.
I typically format my posts so they're easy on the eyes and being able to preview and make changes before I finalize the post makes that easy to do.

Since I do most of my forum browsing from my phone, this app is awesome! Great work so far.

Shereef_Osman · 10-31-2010, 11:01 PM

Great app! Would be 100 times more useful if categories / threads with new posts were in bold font or in some way highlighted just as they are in the web version.

Definitive · 10-31-2010, 11:17 PM

Very good start, thank you guys for making this app. Cant wait to see where it goes from here. Also would love a full ipad version. I use something called fullforce on my jailbroken ipad, and it works pretty good. But would love a real ipad version.

By the way, Is there a "new posts" option anywhere?

Definitive · 10-31-2010, 11:19 PM

Interesting. Just tried to login and it says my username and password are invalid???

HellaFunctional · 10-31-2010, 11:52 PM

MacRed335i · 11-01-2010, 12:45 AM

Need Droid, iPad and BB....
