Re: ChessCube Update: A message from the CEO

Have you ever thought of creating an iPad app and charging $2.99 - $4.99 (at most) for it?
I'm sure, if the interface is properly replicated, that it would attract quite a few buyers.
Especially if it makes the "app of the week" page, which it most likely will.
I would definitely purchase it. It's so much easier pulling out my iPad than having to turn on my computer just for chess.
Definitely something to think about (if your looking for that added source of revenue)
THIS .
Or if your goal is more VIP members, make the mobile app free but only available to VIPs. If ad sales can support a free version too, just as well. I for one would like to have my Cube account follow me where I go and it would definitely be worthwhile for the VIP.
One thing to consider, though, is that a mobile app would presumably lead to more games being played, and therefore possibly the need for more servers.
