Suppose we were going to create a Brigada ‘app’ for IOS and Android. What should it ‘do’? Think outside the box, please. If you get a moment, open our normal website in your iPhone, iPad or Android browser. How would you prefer that a specialized app would improve on your Brigada experience. We’re considering building one — and your ideas could help us a LOT in putting together something that really “scratches an itch” that matters. Thanks in advance for any help.

We have an app and I have an app maker, pastor, who creates good ones at incredible prices. :) I’m sure he would have some great answers to the question, why.
The beauty of Brigada is the delivery of ideas and resources to My Email inbox. I can follow up on the idea with a quick click. I rarely need to visit the Brigada website and can’t imagine why I would need or want an app. A website that works mobile is more than adequate.
OK Andrew. That’s exactly the kind of feedback we need. Anyone else disagree? … or have other insights?
I think I agree with Andrew – if the emails/website are designed with mobile-responsive text, that’s all I need. Thanks for continuing to press on for what’s going to be most helpful, though!
OK Marti and Andrew — if you’ve tried the Brigada website in Mobile, I trust you’ve seen that, indeed, we’re using a mobile-responsive format on the site — so it should size up well, regardless of whether you’re viewing on a smartphone, an iPad or other slate, or a large screen monitor. But just trying to meet everybody’s needs as much as possible. Thanks.
If an app would be developed, one that could help church mission team or mobilizers could be helpful.
There may be an untapped audience – or greater reader engagement – that could come from having an app, but the emails that can be read on a mobile seem quite sufficient. I
I find that I open websites directly in Mobile Safari rather than in apps. As long as the site is optimized for mobile or is responsive, I don’t think an app is necessary.
