Title: windows 8 store
Post by: baarhus on November 15, 2012, 12:20:36 PM
I have recently gotten back in to airwaysim and I'm sitting here on my Surface wondering of there will ever be a touch friendly app for the windows store. Is there any plans for this in the future?

Probably will be implemented around the same time that city based demand happens

There's a new site layout in (slow) development and once that is pushed out, the next step is to make a touchscreen compatible version of that layout (mainly for tablet-sized devices). And that in turn allows to create HTML5 based apps for the various devices (one is in veryvery early testing/development).

Ditto. In my eyes, at least for iOS, an app is not worth the work. The low-fi version works great in Safari, the only thing I miss is a mouseover function, but that won't be easily implemented into an app.

Indeed it does work well. Better than I had expected before I used it for the first time the other week. Can't see much advantage of having an app for it

I hate apps. Pretty sure that's why we have browsers. 

A touch friendly version of the site though would be useful though (I use an Android tablet, a Windows phone and an iPad plus XP and Win7 PCs on the site)
