Ever since getting an iPhone, I've wanted to be able to visit one of my favorites sites ever (this one), on it, and I can, but it just takes too long to load, even on a 3G connection. Plus the sites design and it's scale make it very annoying viewing it on Mobile Safari. I constantly have to zoom in and out to read news articles and comments. Plus, the sales charts take ages to load, and the iPhones touch sensitivity with a site like this make it even more flustrating when you have to reload a page because your finger hit the wrong link. Not to mention viewing this site drains the battery.

I don't want to sound like I'm ranting, but I just want to make a suggestion to the mods and the developing team behind this site to consider making a VGChartz iPhone App that runs good, and makes visiting the site on the go a lot less of a headache.

I made this a poll to see if there are enough iPhone users on this site who would like to have something like this. Vote and discuss.

well if machinima can make an app i think vgc can too. but i dont think i really need/want to look up game sales when i'm at a restaurant




yes definitely, would make me use my ipod touch a lot more



no idea how to make this properly work

that's just overkill.

why not...

I have just asked the marketing company I use to create some apps for my firm and they are surprisingly cheap.


I'm on this site enough. I don't need to get distracted when I'm outside my house. lol

The site will be better of making a mobile version of the site... the iPhone isn't he only phone out there..

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)

Yes, it takes a really long time for it to load on mine. Every other website loads fast but this one.

This... an Iphone app is not a bad idea, but IMO there would be far more users if they would make a mobile friendly site



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

yeah I agree herIf you are going to do it, simply making a mobile friendly version of vgc would be much better imho than making an app. I would definitely use it if you did make one though I didn't vote in the poll because I don't have an iphone (motorola droid ftw)



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
