My suggestion list to have a real Social Apps

Hi, the android apps is fine but very basic when you check on the Google Play store and look at the other apps proposed by the other social network or dating website.

So here is a list of features that boonex should add to their mobile apps... Android and IOS

1. Live chat function working with the simple chat messenger of the website side

2. Allow the apps to running in background to stay connected as long as the smarthphone is ON

3. Popup notification when member receive a new message or a new chat message and user is not looking at the app

4. Better facebook signup/connect with more option for the admin. Possibility to choose by default what type of nickname is used for new membersignup (last name, first name, first and last name, city, or let the member choose during the signup process)

5. Integrate also Google signup/connect

6. Add more section on the apps : Forums, Groups, Event(with notification when a attend me to a event is today), Polls, Classified Ads

7. REMOVE the site list to choose as first screen launch of the PAID REBRANDED mobile apps version(if I pay for a specific website and make the apps lock to only one website... the user dont need to choose the website because its the only website!)

8. Add sound notification when new message or chat receive

9. Allow auto refresh of the main app screen so user dont need to manually refresh it to see if he receive a new message

10. Allow to integrate Mobile banner ads from the website side admin so admin will be able to enable or disable mobile ads into the apps without have to rebuild the app each time. Also make that the ads are visible only for None /Regular Member/ Regular Member+Premium Member

so thats it... hope i will be hear and that features will be add soon the both of the mobiles apps because i really think that boonex mobile should be competitive with all the other social network offer from other website.

so what you think about my ideas

Debate open!

11. Make a possibility to normally add a background image (not tiles only), so it will show correctly on different screen sizes and orientations

12. Make better layout for tablets and horizontal device orientations as a lot of space is wasted now.

13. Put "Logout" button somewhere on home screen for Android 4.x

14. Make white background for text inputs for Android 4.x

15. Make more options in config, like text color for buttons, text inputs, top bar button, etc.

16. Finally, please put some comments in your paid-open-source codes! It's a headache to work with non-commented code if you need to change anything. 

Function names like:

public void setTitleCaption

protected void setTitleCaption

and so on, are not clear and confusing.

yes i miss some point ;)

17. Boonex has not provided a method for 3'rd party connect modules to be integrated into the apps.  So please make this possible!

 There are many 3rd party modules on the market, method exists :)

I am not aware of any connect mods that work with mobile. Boonex built in FB connect is the only one i am aware of.

so boonex team any reply to this post?

17. In app purchase for buying premium membership directly from the android app

18. Possibility to choose wich module is see in the android app main menu by the member depending of their membership. Premium can have more module and icon in the main menu apps. And regular only have few module icon on the main menu

Another thing to add.

The option to turn your status online or offline (hide profile).  That way you can grab the attention of others letting them know you're available.
