It's broke.
At least, the bridge to the forum is broke.
I didn't think anyone would be that arsed.
50 odd emails later, I was clearly wrong.
Anyway - it is broke because it needs upgrading.
Apple/Android are constantly meddling/updating requirements and we need to keep on our toes.
The app costs just above £300 a year to maintain (subscriptions to data streams, and to be in the app store).
However, development updates to the app incur a developer fee. Unlike elsewhere where I can blindly muddle through, I'm useless with apps and wouldn't know where to begin. A developer has quoted us £350 to fix it. This means;
* Fix Forum Access.
* Adding Adverts for rev. This way, whatever we raise we can keep an pay for app improvements.
* Everton Alerts News Menu/Feature. Basically a page that pulls from evertonalerts.com rss.
* Results - Cap per season Currently shows results since August 2013.
* Push notifications. The app seems to crash for a few minutes whenever we send them.
I loathe to put adverts in, but the thinking here is it'll need updating every year or so and if we're picking up revenue for it, then it'll bridge the gap.
Ordinarily, I'd just pay it, but I'm needing us to migrate to a new server (details to follow, but that's £75 a month/£900 a year).
So, if you use our app, and want to contribute - please do so here;
