There's an app for that!

If we were to build an app for CreateDebate, what functionality is a MUST HAVE...?

 

Remember less is more,

I am on a budget

AND

We want the app to be useful.

 

I have been thinking about a free and paid version.  Free is ad supported, the paid version would not have ads.

 

What are your thoughts?

What does create debate do? There's your answer .

I acknowledge you probably know better than me or someone you are working with does what can be put into an app, but here's what I would plan out based off my ignorance :P.

three debate lists

new debate

active debates

popular debates

debate tags

debate search

profile functionality

capacity to type arguments

capacity to vote

added notification of all activity

That's all I think there really should be, keep it simple.

Same as the web but with notifications, keep it simple as possible.

There is too much to include ALL of the functionality. So, for instance, community creation would likely NOT be in the app.

What I was thinking was:

popular, active and new debate listings

debate creation

argument creation

voting

profile functionality...

others?

Yes, simple list of active debates, voting, ability to add comments, debate creation and that's it. For the rest there is the website...

I think just the most basic things. I just want to be able to navigate more easily on my phone. And I will absolutely pay for the paid version. I've spent money on way more useless crap in my app store. At least I know I already like CD in this case.

I would suggest looking at other websites and their apps. Look at what facebook, tumblr, myspace, twitter ect did with their website's app. The trick is, making the the layout simple and user friendly.

I'd download it and use it .

Just make it do whatever the website does, and keep it simple.

Honestly... I think there's more important things to do first.

Have the app show you the notifications and you can create debates and add arguments. Will this app be in the apple app store?

2 points

yes, the plan would be iOS and Android.

Ok I was just making sure.

Please, integrate in it some hidden folder, protected by password ... nobody would look for porn in there...

Well, an app is basically just easy access to the website, so only do if costs are cheaper, but probably won't be since all revenue is depended on marketing and donations.

It would be cool, but do it if only makes things easier.

Well my tablet sucks but what ever you think will probably help.

I really just want an app version that would be mobile friendly, would allow for smoother viewing and posting with a mobile device (obviously this is what apps are meant to do, but I felt it must be mentioned since some apps are worse than the web version).

I don't care for most of the options except to view and post in debates (popular, active and new) and see notifications.

I would love for it to include the argument waterfall, but I think in an app that might be too much of a heckle.

I would definitely download this, as my only access is via this android I'm using to type right now.

Must haves:

-create deabates

-write agruments

-vote

-notifications (with settings?)

If it had only those, I would be happy. The stuff others have mentioned would make it better though, and for anything else, there's always the web version. All the app needs is the MAIN function of the site.

it should be useful educative and should be similar to this create debate

I think an app should most importantly push notifications of when someone responds to an argument you made, and allow you to respond.

You should make the applet you login with Facebook and share debates with your friends and stuff

I forgot to say notifications. I think that would make things so much more up to pace and cause more activity
