I thought I read that android users can download photos already but I can't. I'm sure it's operator error, Any help?

Yes, you should be able to with an Android.

What issue are you having? You need to be specific.
Can't select the photo from your phone, get error in upload (too large?), or ?

Google Chrome for iPhone is free and will allow you to upload pictures to this site and others.

Of course everyone would vote yes. Cool

A better question is would you prefer iPhone or Droid since they are different, you don't make one for both phones, so I changed the poll.

Another thread
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=411416


Is it possible that you can post the link so I can download the samba app ?

I have gone thru this whole thread but I dont see it

Negative.. the logo on the Ipad was not a car but rather the same TS logo you see above or below on this page. It was just the circle with theTS.. pretty cool.

The logo that appears is a little icon that the site has available to iPhone/iPad users to use as a link on those devices.

I haven't seen any reason to have an App other than to say "We have an App".

An app would be nice, but more importantly this site needs to be responsive to multiple screen sizes. If you are not familiar with responsive design, please check out http://bostonglobe.com/ and resize your browser screen smaller and larger.

I think the big reason people want you to support an app is because the site is a huge chore to use on anything other than a desktop computer. A responsive design would take care of this without the huge undertaking of an app.

Yes, I have seen sites like that but they are annoying to me on my phone unless I rotate it to the wider landscape mode.

This is what I do for this site as well.

If there is something specific that is a problem on this site to use/navigate via a phone, please email me directly with the issue and I will try to make it more useful.

Well I voted for the IPhone app because I have said to myself numerous times "man I wish The Samba had an app." While I use the "TS" link in my browser for easy access, I can only imagine how easy it would be scrolling through the classifieds on an app. While I couldn't imagine a free membership site doing this, I think it would be prime. Either way I'm here... Cool

I don't see why an app is necessary and I regularly use multiple different android devices on here. What exactly would an app add to my samba experience?

Yes, I have posted this before, how would an App be better or add anything?

Well, maybe I'm jut an IPhone idiot....this truly could be the case....however when I use Safari to browse The Samba I truly hate it. I turn my phone to "landscape" to view all my web pages, and it shows up so small that I have to "zoom" in on every little thing just to read it. I'm sure there may be an easier fix to this, and I'm also not saying that an "app" would fix this either. Really just vocalizing why I don't use my IPhone to access The Samba when I am away from home.

I think the Samba bookmark app for the Iphone (pictured below) serves the purpose for those who want a Samba app. It's free, and it is a hyperlink to the site, which is probably all that a Samba app would be anyway.

The only benefit that I see for an app would be to allow members to stay logged on full time. Similar to the way that the Facebook app works. However, on some sites I have been on, site crashes have been the result for having a lot of people logged in at one time. I'm not sure if this would be a problem with this site though.
