Hi All,
Are there any model related apps out in the ether.
I'm running Samsung Tab 3.

I would love to see a Kitmaker Network app! I usually have my iPad next to the workbench, but it's kind of clunky to make full use of KMN as a regular webpage in Safari. Not complaining: simply saying I think having an app would make a great thing even better!

Not saying it doesn't work Richard as I'm sure it does, just don't like google including gmail (used at work) except for their search engine.

Define what you want / need as an App. Than I can tell you what it costs

Yokes aside: What do you define as "model related" and what do you expect from such an app. Maybe the software you seek already exists

I admit my prefered platform(s) are full powered systems that accept a standard Java JRE with Swing or FX2 (Win/x86 and MacOS to cover 98+ percent of the market here) since I do not make much use of the half breeds. For Android (I own a Note 10.1) I would prefer a webapp since that can be run on the full sized units as well.

The issue, I think, is not so much a question of which browser one is using, but the fact that one is using any browser. In other words, there are lots of things I could do through a browser--shop Amazon, watch videos on youtube, post stuff on FB--that can be performed more efficiently/effectively on a mobile device through their respective apps. Since just about all major social networking systems seem to have their own mobile apps, it just seems like it would be nifty if KMN had one too.

Again, not complaining--Jim and crew do a fabulous job--just sharing an item on my holiday wish-list
