We could have provided the app free of charge but we would have had to use advertising and we think that would spoil the appearance. Advertising would, we think, have provided more revenue but we’re more interested in something that looks good for you.

Push notifications are included in this app so that every news item etc will be pushed to your phone to alert you as soon as news breaks e.g. confirmed starting XI on match days!

As an unofficial Liverpool FC website we are limited with the content that we can provide without breaking rules. This works in our favour to an extent as we will concentrate on news and opinion which is what KOPTALK is about.

We won’t for example be packing the app with statistical content. In a later version we may expand a little but the idea was to make something simple and neat for our fans. The idea was to provide an app that will alert you to the latest LFC news as it happens, wherever you are.

An application exclusively for our members will follow later this year.

This evening we received several images from our designers of the proposed look and we have included 3 for you to have a nosey at.

These are NOT the final designs, they are just suggestions for us to consider. Please ignore the photos next to headlines etc as they have been added by the designers to fill space.

We will be making changes. For example, the first image, we don’t like the red at the top and the darker red underneath for the menu.

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

Once concluded we hope to offer the app free of advertising and completely free of charge for iPhone users. An iPad app will then follow.
