Army builder for the IPad?

Not the only one making a first post in this thread...


Used to have the CD version ages ago, but stopped using AB when I went to Mac.

The moment the Mac version, much less a iPad one, I am seriously dropping money here, both for HL and AB.
 
Adding my voice to the choir: I'd love Army Builder for the iPad (and Mac, of course).

I'm currently using an old Windows laptop for my Army Builder needs, but would love to be able to chuck it away.

I'll happily buy new licenses for both platforms if asked to.
 
ab for mac/ipad

i don't really think it will happen tbh every time people ask we get told end of the year but in the new year when its not here we will get told end of the year again :P
 
Honestly, they need to jump on this before someone else does. With how quickly the tablet market is blowing up someone will do it soon if it doesn't happen.
 
That is true but it is still going to take time and I believe these are the only ppl actualy doing army builder right so I think they are doing tha
They're best to do a good port and app not a half assed one.
 
AB for OS

I have been dragging around a windows laptop for the only reason, that I can use AB! I do believe that when you release the OS version, not only will you see an increase of users, but there will be a big sell off of used computers!

The Hivemind is watching!
 
Seriously guys, it IS the end I the year. Can we get an update?
The Mac version in today's market is a must and an untapped source of sales. First you have people who haven't purchased your product because it is a pain to work around on a Mac and then you have many I is who have duplicate systems so we can run AB. Add in the iPad market and I am ready to develop my own app and market it. Step up please. If I hear any more chatter about waiting to see what the preferred platform for tablets is, I am deleting my account and heading for the door.

A little info please
 
P.s. I joined feb 2011 just to chime in and encourage this development. We will be coming up on a year with no release date? Really?
 
Hero Lab is in open Beta right now. Since Hero Lab and Army Builder share significant amounts of foundation code in common, this will uncover the majority of issues in AB as well. Once we get these uncovered issues fixed, we'll be releasing a separate Mac Beta for AB, so expect that in early February.

Just a little bit longer.... :)
 
Just got rid of my PC, so now all I have are my Macs, I won't hold my breath (yet) but I am really looking forward to the Mac release for this. I made sure that I printed off a few rosters for the only Army that I am taking with me when I move back to the States, so i am covered for a while.

Retiring from the Army SOON!

iPad or bust

Guys. I know the Mac OS is probably a pain and having worked on Hero Lab and soon Armybuilder for the Mac there is clearly a windows based bias in your organization. I get that. A computer, tablet or whatever is just a tool and we all have our preferred tools, but let's face it, Apple is no longer the alternative minority. Apple is now the most valuable company in the world and dominates the MP3 market, is doing exceptionally well in the smart phone market and looks to be doing the same in the tablet market. If you don't do Army Builder for the iPad it will be dead on arrival.

Do you mean that hero lab is in open beta for the ipad? or you mean on the mac?

If its for the ipad, is it possible to download it and try it out for the ipad?

(EDIT: Just confusing since this is posted on an ipad thread..)

Thanks!

No AB iPad app = No future for AB "Get on the Ball!"

You guys had better get on the ball about this iOS app for iPad because the prize is going to go to the first company or programmer to make a decent and affordable iPad app to create and do other things with your 40K army.

Everything else you are doing is supporting the past and every minute that goes by with no full court press to get this done is another minute gone by ignoring both the now and the future.

One commentator mentioned making this work through a cloud based system and that is a great idea. It certainly will make things easier for the Android crowd. I do sympathize with you on that because developing for Android is a screaming nightmare of compatibility issues.

You might want to just pick one or two Android devices and support those because from personal experience Android is a mess.

BTW: I know for a fact there is one iOS company and two programmers I know creating army building apps for GW products. One plans for it to be free, one at 99 cents and the dev company is looking at 2.99-4.99...

OH, and just in case you did not realize how completely post PC the user world is becoming...The New iPad is more powerful than both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 and has a resolution of 2500X1900 on a 10" screen. That is crazy.

There are times, rare times, for a business when everything changes and guarantee you have a future you literally have to drop everything and embrace a future you never saw coming. This came a couple of years ago for Lone Wolf and I am not sure you guys have woken up to that yet.

Lets not even discuss a 1990's licensing model....Sorry to be so harsh but some one needs to tell you the truth.....
