App for Bones Lair..?

Finished listening to the last show, heard that an app may be coming out by the end of the year and that some one is already working on it (sounded like that person may not have enough drive/enthusiasm/motivation?) so I just got myself the developer membership and want to see what things the community would want in the app.


So far I got these things:
List of episodes with stream/download capability
Drinking game rules
Bio of the hosts/guests
*maybe, because seems to be a little difficult* forums?..
Sound board with the standard voices
Counter for the amount of drinks taken by those playing
RSS feed with news tit (boobies?...) bits that may be fed to the hungry forum mob while the show is on hiatus
Donate button and may be a donate counter made like a bottle of jack filling up (every month a new drink with a bar shelf and all the drinks as time goes on).


Ok, so thats it for now. Having zero experience with making apps this will be a fun week or two.

Open to suggestions on what else to add.

The guy that was going to develop it got too busy with life.
First suggestion is more like a giant request. DROID APP.
Forums aren't as difficult as it seems, just open a browser window for starters. I believe android has a parser for php available too. Don't hold me to that. WE REALLY need an easy web access to the forums in an app.
sound board? haha. awesome.
counter for drinks taken? haha. I like that idea.
donate button? sure. maybe someone finally will! haha.
bio? meh. Could take or leave.
DRINKING GAME RULES YES YES YES YES YES
Episodes probably should have the option to stream or download. Some people are real dumb about not deleting old files, would be smarter to let them stream.
off the top of my head i'd say you are well on the way.

Well I dont have an android device to test it... and I will send you my second gen iPhone as a gift to the show if I do actually finish the app... And now I am in the process of getting a mac to actually be able to develop the stuff.

Now... maybe after I am done with it for an iOs device we can find an android guy and I can give him all the code and info and he can transfer that over.

Dude! Much props on taking this on.

I'm currently on an android. SO if someone gets a android app going do what I can to help test it.
At least till att no longer has exclusive rights to iphones. Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Let me know if there is anything I can do be of help

suggestions....
1. we gotta get the "shut the fuck up, junkie" sound file, maybe for downloading as a ringtone
2. Show suggestion...you should work the magic so you can get the ability for people to call in via skype or some other VOIP program. Then you could do shows with guests easier and have a section where listeners can call in and talk to the guys.
3. Get a chick as a cohost
4. Don't let J.C. do shows when he's sober

Just my suggestions for the show to improve, trying to make it cooler and hoping to God it works well and doesn't turn into some evil Rush Limbaugh podcast

1. goddamnit.
2. I've been wanting to incorporate Skype for ages. No clue why its not done, takes about 4 clicks.
3. No woman would do it.
4. I've done a few good ones sober, but I think I work best with just a couple drinks.

Been holding off on the skype stuff till we are able to stream the shows live.
This works out to stuff which we are going to need some new equipment and cash for hosting costs.... so donate you cheap bastards!
Other funding for this stuff "could" come from us adding some advertising on the show.
