Forum:Why is the Wikia Game Guides app so bad!?

Has anyone used the Wikia Game Guides mobile app or works on a wiki presented in it?

Personally, I think it is horrible, but I take a look at it once in awhile to see if it has gotten any better. So far it has gone from one of the worst apps I've ever used to just really bad and an embarrassment.

Why doesn't Wikia give wiki admins info or customization options to make the presentation of their wikis better in Game Guides? Why doesn't it have any preferences or settings? Is someone actually getting paid to produce this piece of garbage?

If anyone actually likes this thing, can you tell me why? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 6 Jul 2011 3:50 PM Pacific


 * Hey Fandyllic -- I just saw this, and I wanted to make sure you also saw my comment response on last week's Tech Update:


 * I just checked with the app developers, and they'd love to get a concrete (specific as possible) list of things that aren't working for you and things you'd like to see changed. (The updates, for example, are only supposed to happen about once a week, so if it's "constantly" happening, they'd love more detail to troubleshoot.) Throw in your wish list for presentation while you're at it.


 * You can send it via Special:Contact and just say "this is for dopp" at the top. Thanks!

 * I sent a list of about 7 things, but I have little hope of progress, if Special:Contact is the way to discuss these issues. It seems more like a way to hide problems. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 Jul 2011 8:58 PM Pacific
