Iphone/Palm Pre App Forum Thread
We are beginning the development of the CentSports application for the iPhone and Palm Pre as well as other mobile platforms. As with almost everything with the site we would love to hear what you personally would want to see in the application or any comments that you may have. I will ask that all comments pertain to the application and not to each others comments and that every response is constructive.
Here are some basic questions to be thinking about:
1) How long do you want to spend on this application? (i.e. how long to place a wager, how long to check your friends balances, etc.)
2) What features would you like to see in the application that are not currently present in the current version of the site?
3) How often would you guess that you would use this platform instead of the site itself? (In either a percentage or a number of wagers per week)
4) Do you own a smart phone or a phone with internet capability?
I am sure that there will be other questions that will follow, but this is a general overview and is not intended to be inclusive. If you have anything further to add then feel free to.
Once again, please keep all content in this thread related to the application and neither I nor anyone’s comments about the application. Also, please do not ask about an ETA as it is not currently known and does not want to be speculated upon!
Thank you very much for your consultation in this issue and I hope to be able to incorporate everything mentioned into the application.
Please post your comments suggestions in the forum thread below.

I HAVE A PALM PRE AND AM ALREADY USING YOUR SITE EVERY DAY. AN APPLICATION WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO GET IN WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE DESKTOP VERSION ON MY PHONE TO LOAD. I CAN’T WAIT! PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN IT’S DONE.

I have a palm pre and the app should have
1. Easy menu of game type that remembers your last choice
2.Ease to find the team or ability to scrolll through all the games
3.Maybe a top level menu that has your friends so you can quickly see their bets and give them crap
4.App should be FREE but could have ads at the bottom and/or top
Thanks for all the fun

iPhone user here. Your website actually loads well and is easy to navigate with the Safari browsers.
An app that is streamlined, clean, and a little more geared to social networking would be ideal. It would definitely make page 2 on my springboard. Thanks for all the hard work and if you want more specific feedback feel free to send an .ipa and I’ll let you know what I think.

iPhone user here
I think the most ideal thing this app should have is push notifications.
Notifications for when your friends place bets, you win or loose your bet or when a game starts.
I’m by my phone more often than a computer and notifications would keep me more ontop of everything.

As an Android user and a frequent user of your site, I would love to see an app that becomes available for android based phones.
