Subject: Bungie Mobile is Bland

~CryptoJenkins7

I know Bungie is still dark at the moment but could the iOS app be spiced up a bit more? My argument is somewhat invalid though; I have no real way to explain how to make it any better. It just seems a bit.. bland. I can understand it used to house Halo statistics and all but now all I use it for is checking Bungie tweets and waiting for new "Love, Bungie". (Waits patiently at Love, Bungie screen)

What else would they put on it?

That's the ting though; what else. There isn't much else to really put on it.

Check out my Soundcloud account to hear some of my music.
Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

Presumably it will get a facelift when either the next site update goes live or when BUNGIE releases details about Destiny#1.

So you're basically saying "Bungie Mobile is boring... there's nothing to put on it besides what they have, but it needs more"?

That doesn't make any sense, sir. Perhaps some more constructive suggestions might help, eh?

Hmm, you have a point. Maybe a color swap to brighten the app up a bit? New wallpapers? It would be nice if the app could also be seen in landscape.

I'd love for some bug fixes in the iOS app:

-A refresh button in "Bungie Messages," as well as inside the message from the individual person. I usually have to go to "Find" and then back to "Profile" to get it to say I have a message.

-Allow full messages to be viewed

-Allow us to find people's profiles in order to send them a message

Ah, yes, Duardo, and quotes. Quotes are a biggy.

  • 05.22.2012 7:28 PM PDT

The only thing I really want is forum and private group support.

Forum support maybe on the iPad app version? It would be difficult on the iPhone.

What do you mean by forum support? A mobile version of the forums or access to the forums from the app?

A smoother way to access the forums while on the go. (Access a mobile version of the forums through the app. That's what I'm talking about.)

Maybe not. Seeing is believing though. It would be an great feature.

Agreed, I can't tell you how many times people send me a quote and ask my opinion on it...anyways, I believe the app removed ALL BBcode, so unless the Mobile team decides to let quotes slide, I doubt it will ever happen.

Usually mobile forums are not a great idea. Take a look at Halo Waypoint, their forums have a mobile version. That's one of the reasons I never go there, the mobile version makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

  • 05.22.2012 7:37 PM PDT

Who the hell do you think I am?

I used to use it for more than just private messages when the stats weren't frozen and the "Love, Bungie" section had a significant purpose (still love the wall papers on there, though).

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I'd love for there to be forums to be accessed on the Bungie App.

You wouldn't have to use it if you didn't like it. You can still use the forums the way you use them now. An app doesn't change that.

This; the site itself detects when you're on an iPhone/iPod and automatically brings you to the mobile page, but you have the option to browse the desktop version if you wish. I'm sure the app would just grab the forum data and then display it in the app rather than displaying a mobile version of the site.

That sounds pretty good, if that is how they do it. I doubt it's as simple as that.

Basically the only things I would add are what our friendly neighborhood ninja has said. Duardo's got this.

EDIT: Maybe give some love to the "Love Bungie" section.

If you've ever looked at the forums on your phone (at least on the iPhone), the text actually increases so you can view topics easier.

True, but getting to the forums via the main nav bar on an iPod makes me want to kick puppies. Hover over+iPod=Bad.

Hahahaaha. Hoodlums stole my iPod a few weeks ago, but I couldn't help but laugh at remembering myself continually tapping that damn button trying to not click it, but simply hover over it.

Also yeah, I don't know why but Duardo's got a thing for bugs and improvements. It's kinda uncanny.
