I thought I read that android users can download photos already but I can't. I'm sure it's operator error, Any help? _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

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 ? |
I just uploaded one from my phone to tell you what happens and it worked just fine. That figures _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

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

Why not ?
Could you not design one ?
I saw someone with an ipad at the last bug gathering that had an app.. I should have asked him how he acquired it. |

The samba links on my ipad/iphone have an auto image thats added to it. maybe thats what you were seeing.
I would totally spend money on an Iphone app FWIW |

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.

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. _________________ 82 Diesel Westy

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. _________________ How to Post Photos

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... _________________ -JeRmAn-

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? |

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. _________________ -JeRmAn-

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.
