bhast2 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have been working on an app for Neowin for people that have wp8. This app will allow people to view the news from the site from their phone without opening their browser on the phone. I would like to add the forums to the app but I don't have that kind of access to the site. Here is a video of the app in action. It is waiting to be published to the store right now. http://youtu.be/G15Tqs52VyU BajiRav, Crimson Rain, Steven P. and 3 others 6 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1179551-neowin-app-wp8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot Matrix Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Looks nice, but I'd make the neowin logo "flat" to match the Metro icons in the OS. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1179551-neowin-app-wp8/#findComment-595983421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Along with a flat logo as suggested, you should make the section names lowercase. So "News" should be "news", "Follow Us" should be "follow us" and so on. I believe it is how most Modern UI designs go.

StandingInAlley Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 This is a good effort but perhaps you should take permission from the admins of the website to use that logo and name? I don't think its protected by trademark but still no harm. Just saying.

LimeMaster Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's cool to see an Neowin app for the Windows Phone. :) Shame you don't have access to the forum data because it would be cool to access the forums from within the app as well.
