apptest wroteThanks for taking the time to write a thorough reply. According to the old Playstore listing, Bimmerpost was downloaded over 50K times.Eventually every site will be on the new Web 2.0 format so that’s where the effort will be and the mobile view there is going to get major improvements over the coming weeks. The goal is to get it to the highest level of polish. So it’s better to put effort there than to dwell on the past. It has so many iterations and improvements in store.
This is not at attack in anyway, just facts I want to lay out. We did talk via DM but this might be relevant to others.
First, the numbers you cite are nowhere near reality. The conjecture is flat out wrong.
Let me put some other innuendo (from others) to rest as best as possible. Whatever much you like the android app, I love it 1000x more. I created every line of code, every single icon placement, every font position, every minor detail were literally years of pain and love and soul. If you’ve ever created anything you might understand. So to say I am dropping android support for (fill in the blank reason) is straight up crazy talk. So you can wonder all you want about the decisions but also take a moment to wonder why someone who has spent over 10 years making the app would not want it in the store. I really don’t want to go into it any more then that, we are redirecting to making the web better then the app on the android side.
On the flip side, we have so many people here who have been helping a huge amount with getting the new Web 2.0 site up to snuff with good bug catches and suggestions for improvements. I have no doubt that as android people turn to using it on their phones the same thing will happen and you will [...]
I won't belabor the point any longer and will soldier on with hopes your web updates materialize and function similarly or better than the app.
If you can please not kill the android app until you have all sites functional so we can move between forums reliably and with little frustration. Thanks!
