Can the club move with the times and create a smartphone app rather than begging for website views? That way the app could notify users of new posts and league scores.
Thanks for the feedback.
I’m not sure the club beg anyone to do anything on the website, though?
I’d love for us to have an app that fans can use and enjoy but there are a few reasons why we aren’t quite ready for that just yet.
Apps need to be done properly and as such they are incredibly expensive to design and develop. So for Alty’s current level of operation, I’d say it would be an unnecessary luxury at the moment.
The club would essentially be paying mega money to send notifications to those with the app installed - notifications that they already receive on social media and directly on here.
The website is also completely responsive for mobile so there’s a good browsing experience to be had online.
There is room for an app in the distant future but IMO it would require a vastly increased level of media output to keep people engaging with it. There has to be some kind of different experience to the website, or what’s the point in installing it?
We do our absolute best as volunteers to keep the website updated with all the latest news etc but I think an app would require exclusive, in-depth content and for that the club would have to consider a full time media appointment to make the app a worthwhile investment. It quickly becomes a very expensive project.
