If you or someone you know is good with making iOS apps, feel free to stop by the mailing list and let us know so we can give out access to the repo.

I wish I had more spare time. (The call of every FIRST mentor?) I unfortunately have no experience with iOS development but wish that I had time to learn. Hmm, maybe this is a good time to start :)

Definitely! We're always open to letting developers use TBA as a learning experience.

With the new Windows 10 Universal App functionality coming soon, I'm going to use this time to learn how to build apps for Windows, which will now include Windows Phone (yay Microsoft!). While this is certainly not any guarantee, I hope to have something basic ready by Kickoff 2016.

I'd be willing to beta this. Also, I think someone made an unofficial Spyder app for WP a while ago. It was glitchy but it worked.

The only reason I use the mobile web version instead of the android app is because I've noticed that the web version loads a lot faster than the app does. I'm not sure if this is something you can optimize or fix, but the app is significantly slower than the web interface.

Yeah, we know the app is a little slow at times. It's on our radar to do a full rewrite of the underlying data interfaces to try and give it a performance boost. We didn't have too much time to optimize before the season, because we were trying to get all the features in first.

Thanks for continuing to work on The Blue Alliance. I am on it all of the time.

It's saved me quite a few times, and GameDay is a great way to watch competitions when I can't actually attend the events. Being able to watch about 3-5 events at once because of it is pretty cool. Also, with the ability practice of sitting on a chair for several hours straight while watching matches, it turns out that it's awesome for building up stamina to scout at an actual event. :)

I can't wait for what The Blue Alliance does next!

If I could help test this app it would be great. I have a windows phone, a PC and an Xbox, so I can test on any of those platforms.

I remember this being posted on the tba-dev mailing list a little while ago which had a WP app for FRC data.

Yea I do have that app they are talking about, it works ok, but the website can function a little better. I would really like to have an official TBA app for every platform(iOS, Windows 10, etc.) it would make everything nice, uniform and link to myTBA. Getting an app on all platforms would give nearly everyone equal level access to stats and such.
