Oj0 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 While we're benching it's always fun to submit results on the fly. The problem with that is you need another PC or laptop at hand for submitting results - something that's not always practical. Here's my idea. How many of us have smart phones? Most of us. Why not have an Android and/or iPhone application for submitting results? I find that neither my phone's built-in browser or Opera Mobile work particularly well with the submission page, and I think a dedicated application would be very practical. From a development point of view, it should be a very simple application to write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I know nothing about smartphones.... what options are there for getting the .jpg or .3dr file onto a running smartphone? Can a smartphone be used like an external hard drive? Seriously, I like tech, but in most ways i'm a luddite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose83 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Lol K404 Of course, an Smartphone can be used as an external HDD;) But no need thought, i allways use an usb stick, and upload after an Session. Why upload after every run? Dont unterstand your Problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oj0 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Impatience Everyone I've ever benched with has lugged a laptop around or had another computer running to upload on the fly It really shouldn't be difficult, the engine is already there so all that the application would need to do is interface with the website really. I reckon 90 % of the coding will be the interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.M.O.G. Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I sometimes submit during a session. Usually wait until its done though, and submit at the end of each night. Wouldn't mind being able to submit on phone, but I need the laptop anyways to look at rankings and plan my takedowns while I'm running. Might as well submit on the lappy. I wouldn't count Kenny. Doesn't he submit 3 times a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oj0 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 He submits every time he doesn't break something Well the application could be used for viewing submissions and rankings as well? I just don't like the feel of HWBOT on a small, touch screen phone, it feels very awkward. It's like comparing browsing the forums on your phone's browser vs TapaTalk.

GENiEBEN Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If the hardware is really slow I usually submit in between runs so I don't die waiting for the slideshow to end An app would indeed be great, but I don't think I will ever use it to upload a score, more like browsing and comparing scores.

Massman Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah, we need a decent mobile app for HWBOT to browse stuff like rankings. I've in the development backlog ... but it's a lot of dev time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeky NoX Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Sorry but as it comes to the purpose: Why isn't the search engine present on the mobile app? Like for member "my profile" page?? Edited March 13, 2013 by Eeky NoX Ofc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It was looking horribly on mobile ... pretty much like the site now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
