Hello everyone,

well i was trying to work on my 370z one day and i found myself struggling searching on my android phone for what i needed and easy to read... so i decided why not make it mobile myself! here are some screenshots of what i started please give me your thoughts/suggestions/comments/complaints...

Im trying to find a way to format the font better, this was just a prototype to see what people think of it... more feedback the better!

Need some thoughts on this app... is it worth my time? will anyone use this? i find it very useful already.. please respond with feedback

Pretty cool actually, I would use this, its better than having to carry a laptop into the garage, or print out the DIY articles.

I think this is a great idea. Not something you would use every day but when needed it would be handy, especially for those who don't have a laptop or iPad etc.
Perhaps a link or PDF of service manual embedded would be useful?
Just my initial .02.

It's pretty handy when working with the car versus having to run back and forth to the desktop (I'm not a laptop guy).

This will also work on ipad/android tablet

if you can find where to get this sort of information i could gladly include it

Also, could use about 7 testers with different devices... iPhone, iPad, android 2.3, android 3.x, android 4.x, blackberry, Palm WebOS

PM or Reply on here if interested.

I volunteer to be iPhone tester lol

Nothing worse than having to print out a DIY thread, and my mac book pro will never find itself in range of auto fluids. Using a browser on my phone is too big a pain to zoom and click precisely.

agreed. and thats what i found myself doing and i just got fed up with it i made this so i didnt have to! lol

I believe service manuals or links are on the forum?
Anyone?

Morning bunp

Well, it can be good toilet reading material when trying to read ahead before doing any work haha. "Hrm... What to do on Sunday?" Haha.

Lol what improvements you want to see?

Great idea! I would use it. Right now I use my laptop for larger jobs by copying and pasting to a word document and editing to reduce it to my needs or writing up a set of instructional notes on my iphone to follow. I like the convenience of the app and I would use it for sure. +1 for you!

I'd be willing to help test if needed too.

You have iPhone? Only prob I don't have my developer license through apple so I have to see if my friend at work can compile for me cuz its 99 dollars :(

i've updated it a little bit, i don't have it in market yet but i have an APK file for android users if you want to try it... PM me

pretty ******* legit man, id definitely use this.

I have android ICS tablet if you want a tester for that platform.

thanks,

sent PM

few things added
-added mask while loading
-worked on styles to format for nicer reading and ease.
-working on image viewer to blow up images to get that detail look you need

What should i search for in the market... i am completely missing it something or just cant find it

its not in the market yet... i only sent to a few people to test and this way i can work on some things still

Over the past couple days I been using my phone to be in the DIY section of the forum for both GTR button and fog lamp mods. It was kind of a pain to search while outside. The DIY app would simplify this by a huge margin. This app is a great idea. I think a 370z.com as a seperate app would be good as well.

Looks good, but I use Tapatalk and "Nissan 370Z forum" is already on it. I can access several forums using 1 app. If I didn't have Tapatalk I would be interested in this.

rating coming along good... hopefully will have test app tomorrow

I'm just curious for the 2 votes of "it's stupid give it up".
What would be considered stupid about this idea? The app itself or using DIY instructions for mods. LOL.

Wow this really marklars with my sense of marklar. Props.

:tup: looking forward to this

got postponed a little... still shooting for tomorrow but not as far as i wanted.. had to take the girl out for a nice evening :)

Its all good man, got to keep the women happy. :icon17:

I think this is brilliant, something more to feed my addiction to these boards.

I've got a Droid running 2.3 and an ipad 1 running ios 5 if you want me to test! Let me know.
