A poll about a Fetch app

fetcheveryone Jan 2015 11:53am, 7 Jan 2015 15,594 posts	0 fetcheveryone With absolutely NO promises about actually making something happen, I would really like to get some feedback for this poll: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/polls-view.php?id=4726 It's asking what the key feature of a Fetch app should be. Should it focus on being a simplified, browsable version of the website? Or is it more about having something that you can stick in your pocket when you go for a run, that will give you time/distance/etc, and feed it into your training log? Of course, if you're interested in an app, I know you might say "both". But then I might have to poke you in the eye

HappyG(rrr) Jan 2015 12:04pm, 7 Jan 2015 23,658 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Does it ask "Android or Apple/iOS"? Or does everyone have to do both nowadays? Can you can go all "agile" and just build one thing and then add to it? I'd go with browse forums and be able to post better (my HTC Android phone causes me to write drivel when I post... ahem...) I'll go vote. Yay, an App! G

Molesy Jan 2015 12:09pm, 7 Jan 2015 1,824 posts	0 Molesy As a poll it's really good, offers choices for everybody. I don't have to get an immediate fetchie fix at all hours of the day or night so I don't have an urgent need for a smartphone browsable version. If I did then I would have thought integration with something like Tapatalk might be a better idea rather than re-inventing the wheel.

longboat Jan 2015 12:22pm, 7 Jan 2015 2,927 posts	0 longboat I would support an iphone app to make the website easier to browse/use. From a training perspective, I have the ~~strava~~ app on my phone, but only ever used it when I forgot my garmin or it had a flat battery. The forums, and manually logged training data (weight, manual sessions) would be great though

Nothing resizes and things are tiny, little seems touch compliant. I would start with some stripped down version of the training log (including way to add runs) and forum, the rest can follow after.
