UI changes for Newgrounds mobile apps

Posted by NeWaGe - August 15th, 2018


The mobile apps, mobile web app, Kodi plugin, etc. have all gone through a huge change. I went from pulling the data in the mobile apps to pulling the data in a central API location using a REST API. After Newgrounds went through the huge website change I decided there had to be a change so that when the website updated their code, my mobile apps could all be fixed in 1 central location. Now that all the apps were fixed and re-uploaded, it's time to make another drastic change. 

I have made a caching system so that I can re-design the apps. Before I was limited to just what the website was displaying instead of caching all the data so I could have a different design for the apps. After this is completed, I will take a look at the apps designs and re-do them. I know the Android UI is pretty terrible as most of the reviewers have pointed out, so I might tackle that one first. Then fix a small bug in the iOS app where if you double tap on the media you want to view the app crashes.

As we speak I am mocking up the new app designs, and finishing up the cache system. New updates will follow. Oh, and I will be removing all in-app advertisements and placing a Newgrounds Recruitment banner for people to help donate to Newgrounds in-app.
