Wanted to start a discussion about a mobile app for Brewer's Friend. What do fellow brewers want to see included?
First of all, the site is 100% mobile enabled. A lot of sites are designed at a fixed resolution, but this site is designed to handle a wide range of screen sizes. It is not a native experience, but it does let you get in and do everything, from pretty much any device.
Here are some general ideas for the mobile app:
Stand alone calculators
To me, it makes sense to have these quick calculators available anywhere, even when you don't have internet.
Offline capabilities
How important is this? Pretty much wherever I go with my phone, it has a connection to the internet (via wifi, or 4G).
Quick links to my recipes/brews, etc...
An integrated menu would make navigation better.
Features that would fit well with a phone size device
For example - a quick dialog for adding an entry in the brew log
What is lacking in the current experience?
(please tell us)
