What about a game app for your phone? Or would that cost to much? 


 


How about a line app chat? Line is app you can download on your phone and we can make a chat for hp

I've thought about this before and I think it would be fairly expensive. HP's site has fairly good mobile compatibility (at least for me). The only reason it ever crossed my mind was because I would love to get push notifications when I get messages....

 

Maybe instead of an app, something in our profile where we can sign up for email and/or text alerts for things like messages. This would be a lot less expensive to code then a multi-OS app.

Sam has had "mobile app" on her list of things to do when we're rich and famous ever since I've been playing HP haha. Rich and famous being the big thing :P

I do think that would be awesome to have an outside alert system for messages. The problem with that would be getting 100 emails/texts when people accept show requests or tickets. The other thing is that players have to sign up for text message alerts themselves, and HP has to let them know that they could be charged for text messages (depending on their phone plan, etc) and HP isn't liable for those charges.

When I worked in the library, we the staff weren't allowed to set up text notifications on people's accounts specifically because we might be held liable for the cost of those text messages if we did.

If you check out Sam's page (#1 - https://horsephenomena.com/home.php?id=1 ) that is on there at the very bottom. XD

Phone apps can cost thousands if not tens of thousands. It would even cost more just to get it integrated with the site itself. As much as I would LOVE this, I just don't see it being feasible for HP any time soon. D:

I think the more active the game is, the more people playing and interested in something like that, the easier it would be to realsticailly look at it as an option. But I believe to make the layout work on mobile it would have to be overhauled or at least programed to work on mobile, etc.  There's just a lot that goes into it so it's definitely not going to be the easiest undertaking.

I definitely agree with aveera that the website is already quite mobile-friendly as it is, which I'm glad for as an actual mobile app is still only a dream for now. :P

It would be awesome to get alerts when you get a message on here, though. :O

I'm on HP so much, I wouldn't need notifications for messages. I also agree that the site is pretty good on mobile already, but certainly an app would make it easier. I can see training being less of a pain on mobile with an app, but like everyone has said, it costs lots of moolah. Solution: bring your friends to HP and tell them how great upgrades are!

Like everyone else said, it's a bucket list item, but currently not in the budget - someday maybe!
