"Since you seem to play HT maybe you can tell how much their user base has gone up since the introduction of their app?"

Well, that is actually a good question. When my friends told me there was an app, I actually rejoined the game. But I eventually got tired of it, mostly because I already play BB and it takes me some time.
But I feel like a simple and friendly app would make BB look better and attract some more people still.

What´s the reason for your recent "no, no, no attitude"?

There are valid reasons, why an app should have been introduced long ago - even if an app was availiable, you could still use your browser on your phone.

I do probably 90% of my time here on BB from my smartphone and can't say I have any problems at all with it.

you prefer mobile browser but the majority would go for BB app for sure.
I agree would be a good improvement, as said before, specially for the new generation.

I play 95% of the time on my Desktop.

I probably do 90% of my BB from my phone as well. I've never had a problem.
The only time I really need to be at my computer is when I'm logging pops and drops into my roster spreadsheets in Excel.

All that said, a good app would be easier to see than going to the website on my phone (even though I've become pretty good at hitting the menu options on the first try without zooming in somehow), but it would need to have all the same functionality to be viable.

Well, I can agree with that, it won't be a game saver. But on these days, everybody is sticked to his mobile, and everything gets their own app. As a great game that BB is, I think it should get a nice app too. Not having, I think it looks old and bad to the eyes of strangers maybe.

On the other hand, I still think that this is still the major change that can be done to bring more users. Ok....it won't get us a lot of them, but what other change could get us more people to come? Adjusting salarys or changing the promotion system won't do much for sure

I don't think people are saying that they have a big issue using a mobile browser. I think what everyone is trying to say is that creating a quality mobile app for the game has the highest upside in terms of ease of use and growing the community than doing nothing at all does.

An app is no guarantee, but it is more of a guarantee than passivity and missing out on the timeframe where people use apps and their phones more than they watch TV.

the fact is in 2017, nobody on internet is looking for Manager games...

but in my opinion, if we have a BB apps, lot of us gonna get this one...so BB Apps gonna appear in the ranking of mobile store (Android, Apple...)

So maybe we can get news user from that...

The game would definitely be more modern and polished with the right app allowing people to access it on mobile phones.
We'd still have the website to access if the app couldn't do everything.
