Well we shelled £1000 out today towards the development of our iPhone application. We finally found a developer that we can trust so there’s no going back now.
Previously we had started the design process with another company but they started to adjust agreed costings so we terminated our relationship. Since then we’ve been trying to find someone that we felt could do the job.
We expect the design of our Liverpool FC news application to be completed around 6 weeks from now.
Having given it some thought, we’re going to make the app available for purchase only but without advertising. It would be easy to turn out a free app supported by ads but they can be quite off putting and they can spoil the appearance.
Version 1.0 of the KopTalk Liverpool FC News app will have:
* The latest Liverpool FC news with push notifications
* The latest editorial content with push notifications
* The latest video content from KopTalk along with other Liverpool FC videos fed from YouTube with push notifications
* A diary of events that all Liverpool FC fans need to know about e.g. televised games, press conferences and so on
* A link to our betting partner should you want a flutter on the Reds
Our next version will have a GPS locator that will tell you the distance from Anfield and other stadiums. We were going to include it in Version 1.0 but it would have taken longer and we want to get this out before the new season if possible.
If there’s any news apps out there that you like, feel free to let us know so we can take a nosey. Email dunk @ koptalk.com
