So I've gotten a few requests to add some other blogs and youtube channels to the iPhone and iPad app. (Android is still in development, get the beta here) This app is made for the community, so I figured I would get the community's input.

Anyway, I just need some ideas on who to include in this app. I just submitted the 3.2 update which adds a few new feeds, it should be out in the next 5 or 6 days. (Apple's approval process takes forever).

Here are the feeds currently in version 3.2 of the app:

• NerfHaven War Feed
• SGNerf Blog Feed
• SGNerf Youtube Feed
• UrbanTaggers Blog Feed
• Official Hasbro Nerf Youtube Feed
• Basic Nerf Blog Feed
• My Last Dart Blog Feed
• Adult Fan of Nerf Blog Feed
• Tactical Tag Blog Feed
• Foam From Above Blog Feed
• Click Click Bamf Blog Feed

(Yeah the text at the top will be changing to iNIC soon.

If you have any feeds (please ATOM or RSS, I don't want to manually symbolicate your blog) or youtube channels (relevant to the app, not your personal channel with the videos of your cat) please leave a response. Heck if you have any feature ideas you want implemented go ahead and let me know. It's your app, what do you want?

(Edit): Version 3.2 has been approved, adding in a few new feeds that I mentioned above.

I'm an Android user. Personally I like everything how it is; a different or multiple images that automatically change in the background would be the only thing I would like changed.

There is still that error where I cannot type in numbers into the login box for Nerfhaven, so I can't login to the app, making the NH feature useless. Hopefully this is fixable. Thanks for all the work you do on this.

I'm sure that quite a few people would find more YouTube channels helpful—LordDraconical, Coop772, uin13, etc. Adding NerfRevolution would also reach a wider audience.

I have never used this app, so I'm not very familiar with it, but these just seem to be some generally desirable things.

Within the nerfhaven forums, a "new content" tab would be nice. And, if I could see a notification badge on the top when I'm logged in that I have a message or someone quotes me or writes on my personal message board, like the original site.

Could you add the Nerfhaven forums to the main list in a future update? It will be much easier than going through forum home

I like the Idea of blogs and such being added to the App. I can see myself using it if I get a smartphone sometime in the near future.

I was recently trying to use the app, and asides from not being able to log in, because of the numbers not working, the only others thing I could thing of was somehow making a way to add pictures directly into the text with the built in camera most mobile devices have, without having to use photobucket, although I'm not sure if that's possible with the forums current software, it would be rather convenient.

Really strange, what OS/Device are you using? It works fine for me in the emulator. (I don't have an android test device, I'm an iOS dev, so feedback is much appreciated!

Push notifications and badges would be nice, but I don't think anyone would like me to store the usernames and passwords to check for new PMs etc. I can't check without the user being logged in, and a backend server would need to be able to login to check for contnt since IP. Board doesn't have a notifications API.

It is in the main list, isn't it? Just tap the "NerfHaven" tab and each button goes to that forum page.

Again, this would cause me to have to store a username and password (for the photobucket upload) and I don't think too many people would appreciate that.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I was talking about the haven or site feedback. I know that general nerf and trading are already on the list. These are considered community forums if you look at the top of the list, but the haven is consider to be a Nerfhaven forum.

OH! Yes I can add that in 3.3, mind sending me a PM to remind me?
