Hi All,
Even though we had a fair few positive responders for the poll, it turns out the TCO for the app per year would be around $650 just to provide it to you. That's not something I would try to recoup from only 25 or so people, it means the app would cost you far more than it is worth in my opinion and there just isnt and ROI for us. I would rather put that money into better faster servers.
With that said there is an alternative, there is a new app on the market that I can plugin to the site, it will not cover all functionality, i.e. it wont handle all the extra things like the tipping comp and things like giphy.
That means that it really will be an app that offers the ability to post, the ability to reply and view the threads, and for other actions you will need to use the browser. It will also cover the push notifications.
This is a much lower cost and we would offer it free again. It comes with their branding in multiple places but will only cost me $50 to setup and $20 a month to maintain.
If this is of interest to you please vote above and I will make the call on it. It is a fully native app and not a browser wrapper like the last.
p.s i have made the call on shutting the other one down the TCO was too high and it will be shut down soon
