We’ve been asked about making a PBW mobile app for a while. Will we make one? What would it be like?

Right now, there’s no plan to release one. We had a test version, though. There are a few reasons why this version probably won’t be released publicly:

• The app looked almost exactly like the web site. So, the time and effort put into it wouldn’t result in anything new or more useful.
• Google and Apple make it prohibitive for a company with no real money to put anything on their stores. Emrich Consulting doesn’t have money, so it doesn’t have IRS filings or keep up with the things that Google or Apple require. An individual can release things easily, but PBW is not an individual.
• We don’t think that it would make a big difference to users. If there are more and new voices that want this, and don’t just make inquiries, then we have a different situation.

On the other had, there aren’t any good reasons to make such an app. We’d rather put time into the web site at the moment.

So, feedback is welcome on this or any other topics. Keep gaming!
