Army builder for the IPad?

I've been a user of army builder for more than 2 years now. Great product, and total life saver. But for about 99% of the time, my laptop has become nothing more than a local server for the home network... And to backup/sync my ipad. And to use army builder.... Otherwise we've become a dedicated iPad and ipod household with several of each. All our gaming is done with pads, for scanned versions of the rules and codexes and for PDF versions of the rosters from AB. If there's to be an app... Please consider it my vote for a pad app!!! (Okay, and just add x3 requests more for the other iPad owners in our gaming group too!). Definitely pay for an ipad AB capable app.
 
I registered on these forums in order to give my support to the IPAD cause! :D
The IPAD has become gradually indispensable to my daily routine and it would be awesome if I had the opportunity to cover my gaming needs as well through Armybuilder.
I would definitely buy the IPAD version if it comes out.So will my 3 friends who also have IPADs!
Let's hope that we will get our wishes granted!!!
 
Add +1 here! I imagine it being and integrated product, so when you backup your iPad or your PC version of AB it all becomes updated (I have at least one app that do that, but basically is the app who has control over the PC update)
 
I just want to say I want an iPad version myself. I would even consider buying a whole new license for an iPad version
 
Given that so many folks have free "lite" versions of full, paid apps on the iPad, have you guys looked into that model?
Something like a free (or very cheap) viewer app that just loads army lists, and a full version that uses the same data files etc. as the Win/Mac version(s) to create lists.

Speaking of the Mac version, how's that coming?
 
A "lite" version is something we tried in the past without much success for Army Builder, but we're definitely open to considering it on a tablet. The problem is, doing a "lite" version isn't much less work than doing the actual full application on the tablet. So we'd rather put that effort into doing the tablet application properly in the first place.

We did an update on the mac version in our "State of the Wolf 2011" newsletter:

That's all that we have to announce for now. Development progresses :)

It will be my prior thing to buy in the 2011! Let's give us the AB for mac as soon as possible :)
 
I would pay for an ipad version of this product. I think that you would find that many people would buy a second version of your product for this use. There is a limited market for gamers, the ability to get your customer to buy a second product is much higher than attracting a new customer.... I think it would be more profitable than you might imagine.
 
PDF forms suck

Considering how you cannot fill out PDF forms on an iPad (definition of aggravation for a gamer) something like this would scratch an itch for me that has been around since I purchased my iPad. I would even go so far as to restrict my gaming habits to systems offered by this software. Sooner the better.

iPad 2 pretty plz

Oh heck yeah Army Builder for the iPad would be great. I just got an iPad 2 and I have been busy scanning my Codex's and Rule books to PDF to have them on the fly when I go to play at my local retailer. I think if you get out an iPad version quickly you will make a killing in fact I predict it will sell more copys that the current licensed numbers.

JUST DO IT its a win win situation you make money and your customers are very happy and even more people buy into it.
 
Registered just to add my voice to the chorus - I'm an Army Builder customer and I would TOTALLY buy an iPad version the moment it became available. To be able to manage my roster right from my iPad would be a dream. Hope this can one day be a reality!
 
I'm all for the Ipad having AB and Hero Lab ports, and the friends in my gaming group would much appreciate an Android port as well. I'd be willing to buy another copy for both, especially if the games I've bought for Hero Lab could be licensed with the new app.

The convenience would be well worth it for me.
