Okay, I have brought this up before but since then I have found out how to develop from my PC (and not a mac) and I have taken a couple tutorials. So without holding off any longer I have decided I would begin the research phase of my app which begins here =] I will ask a series of numbered questions. Try and answer all of them unless of course you don't like the idea =] then just answer the first.
Let's begin:
1. Does this app make sense for you?
2. Would you use this app on a regular basis?
3. Do you or someone you train with have access to an iPhone at all times?
4. Would you pay even $.99 for this app?
5. IF the app were to go in to development, what features would you like to see?
6. If you have thoughts or ideas, describe what you see when you picture an APK app as far as layout, color scheme, themes, and overall design.
Keep in mind, this will be my first major app. Unfortunately, because I am underpaid as it is, I may have to charge .99 because it costs $100 to become an app developer through apple. If you guys would absolutely be turned off by the idea of being charged .99 for an app please let me know in your answers. Be as detailed or as general as you want. I will begin th InDEV stage immediately but I will only be working with the programming and operations as of right now rather than the actualy design scheme. Thanks guys for any help and support you can offer. Hopefully I can get APK in on it and get a little financial support, but for right now I will work on the design so I have something to show them when they ask why they should help me out =]

UPDATE: 10/18/2010
Development of App using Flash has been halted indefinitely due to Apple's proprietary ways.
It's a shame yes, but not to worry, there are alternatives.
Because most of the app would have been online anyway, a webapp has gone inDev.
It doesn't have as many design options but it should have the same functionality in the end.
I am ALSO working on turning my desktop PC into a Mac using Hackint0sh. If I can accomplish this I will begin the inDev stage of a native iphone and ipod touch app.
But for now, you're stuck with a webapp. It may sound bad but you still have an icon and you can still launch it from the home screen. It just all takes place online. Screens to come!
