Pezo Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Just get an iPhone, you know it makes sence As an Iphone user I can quite simply say some of the stuff Android does is far beyond and better than the rip off Iphone. I have had nothing but problems with dropped calls on my Iphone and am looking forward to moving to android or a Windows 7 phone. Fair enough if you like it but its certainly not for everybody with there draconian measures to stop pirating but also usability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youwhat Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Anyone know what will be on the app and what the paid content will be? Does it link to player for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark43 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I see most other clubs is out now?? Not sure about most, a search on 'perform group' comes back with 8 club apps. I kinda want it but tempted not to buy it on principal, as surely the reason they have forced the shitty mobile site on us is to encourage us to buy the app...

Donald Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 The mobile site is bloody awful and is simply pathetic The iPhone app looks like it's going to be a £2.39 purchase then the same again every month, so basically another £30 nearly to view the same stuff that you can see on world.....which costs yet another £30 odd. Just another attempt to milk more money out of fans. Personally I just want a easy way to view the normal website as I've always been able to. Was embracing few days again when a mate asked how much a dolman ticket would be for Saturday and yet it's impossible to find out via a iPhone, farcical really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that mean it replaces World in terms of the video content do you know? Annoying thing with all of this is tried to listen to bbc somerset/Bristol on iphone at weekend and you just get a woman saying "for contractual reasons blahblah".. very annoying really! (and couldnt find a station local to donny - radio doncaster? don't be silly) if only bcfc player actually worked on it...! Personally I just want a easy way to view the normal website as I've always been able to. Looked at theposh.com () earlier, it's OK if you zoom right in, mobile site would be good if they updated it etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunesy Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 An iPhone app called TuneIn Radio gives you most BBC stations (maybe all of them - but I don't know for sure). You should be able to listen to City every game then. If I can get radio stations in the Antarctic, in the Christmas Islands and some Eskimo station in Canada, surely I can listen to City playing at Ipswich?!?!

Looked at theposh.com () earlier, it's OK if you zoom right in, mobile site would be good if they updated it etc I'm not 100% sure but I think its a similar service to world (or player as its called now) but charged seperately. So if you already have player you'd pay additionally to have similar access on the iphone app, or you could cancel player and just have it on the iphone I guess. The BBC think is very annoying, apparently it doesn't matter that we pay a license fee when the BBC want to flog their service to somebody else.

TuneIn Radio is great, but its Radio Bristol via the internet so you're still going to get the annoying lady saying you cant listen to the current programme due to contractual reasons.

Yer, this is the App I use, bloody wench. Back to the old FM Radio MP3 player it is then - sigh! Don't think I would pay even more money just to view the same content on iphone as player, jebus they could at least get that bit right as getting as bad as Sky!

Deanorap Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 It will be an app that just shows the content of the website! No more, no less. The app builder I'd hazard to guess has nowt to do with Bristol City, the same as the generic websites for the whole football league. Let someone interested in the club have some input, ie me or the other 10-15 people who can't afford the rights to be part of the ever going trend of iPhone users/app builders. I have an iPhone+mac etc and would love to give my passions to end users, ie my calendar, but can I beat the governing bodies, no! Commercial dept, please call!

There must be something more to the BCFC app otherwise why not just make a generic skinnable app with some kind of RSS feed-in so you could with no extra development create a ManU or a BCFC or a Villa app just by doing some graphics.. much like the great invision forum app that works so well with otib ;-) Maybe they have and the delay is just to give the impression that it might be worth the £2 a month..? Yes, don't imagine you could beat DataCo with your calendar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say if any fixture is rescheduled, you calender is updated automatically Created in Holland and free on the net to subscribe to. Problem is that when I subscribed it says kick off is 2pm, that may confuse people tomorrow!!!! If the app is any better, please tell me and i'll replace my calendar. Biased, but i prefer my calendar. After viewing their website, I probably shouldn't worry about the legal issues, as I'm sure they didn't pay £30k!
