LFChistory.net Free Android application
« on: January 2, 2012, 02:32:28 pm »
I have just recently created and released an app for the LFChistory.net website. I am trying to spread the word about it to other reds because it is a very usefull app and is completely free.

It can be found on the market here- http://goo.gl/izR9z

There are many more features planned for the future but currently it's displays stats and profiles for every player that has ever played for Liverpool and every manager.

I'm hoping that people can leave feedback on here or below as well as suggestions of other features that you would like to see etc.

I would be greatfull if fellow reds could help spread the word about it.

We have a pages on the following sites for more infor and updates:
Twitter - http://www.goo.gl/ehFUf
Facebook = http://goo.gl/fjmp0
Google+ = http://goo.gl/9WI7P

Thanks. YNWA

I am currently working on the season archive, the initial release will just contain the league tables but I will follow that on with results and season statistics.

If anyone has noticed any issues with the app, I would be very grateful for your feedback.
Thanks.

I am an Android developer but if this is successful I would consider putting in the work to get it released on iPhone. The different language would not be the problem, the main stumbling block at the moment would be that you need a mac and a developers licence before you can even start on it. They do not come cheap.

Loved the 'seasons' archive update - top stuff mate, including the squad pics and individual results :)

Keep up the great work - may get a few more views and downloads if you add this to the official/unofficial merchandise thread on the main board too ?

I released 1.1.2 onto the market today which includes a number of performance improvements. I'm currently working on 1.2.0 which will include player stats for each season.
Please let me know if you have any feedback or feature suggestions.

Thanks. Ynwa.

Just to let you know 1.1.3 is released in the market now.

This release only contains improvements to the Facebook integration and performance but I am now working on adding detailed stats for each season (goals, apps etc).

Please if you have any thoughts on features that are missing or issues etc, I would be very interested in hearing them.

For those asking for an iPhone version, the licensing when developing for Apple is a joke. If I wanted to develop my own software and test it on my own device I'd have to pay. (unless it's jailbroken of course). You'd have to have it as a paid app or take donations for it to become a feasible release, though with our support base maybe that would work... hopefully lots of interest.

Will test it on my tablet later mate, looks good though!

This is exactly the reason why I have not yet done it for iPhone. As well as the licence fee you have to pay, you can only develop an Iphone app on a Mac which means  there is an initial £1000 outlay before you can even start. With it being a free app it is not really an amount I can justify spending.

I've got a custom rom for my tablet and Android Market seems to think it's not compatible with your app.

Could you upload the .apk for us mate?

I've got the same problem on my tablet - Android Market says it's incompatible, something that I know is not true.

It'd be fantastic if someone could upload the APK somewhere for us.

Ill look into it to see what the problem could be but I know for a fact that people have confirmed it works on tables. Although I don't know which models.

I can't think what requirements I have set which would prevent it from working though.

It's a market problem surely, as you can see on the list it seems to think the app will work on my Acer A500 tablet, but I've changed it to an ASUS Transformer Rom and it now thinks that's not compatible. Both are Honeycomb tablets of the same spec.

I have recently released version 2.0.0 of the LFChistory app onto the Google Play Store.
It now displays the next match, contains articles from the website and provides true Facebook and twitter integration which can be used to share profiles and articles with your friends. Behind the scenes a load of changes have been made to help the application perform better on  slower devices.
As I have said before I would be really keen to hear any feedback or questions that you might have.

Unless you have ticked the auto update option on the market previously you need to open up the market/play app, select my apps and then click update on the LFCHistory app. From this screen you can tick the auto update checkbox to save you having to manually update in the future.

Whilst you are waiting for it to download you can leave a good rating on the market :-)

(Or if you are on your phone click this link and select the market app to open the link - goo.gl/iXONn)
