That was quite some time ago and that App is no longer. Besides, Apple has locked down their phones and iPad where you can't install an App unless it's up on their market and it's expensive an hassle-some to do that.

We're taking in all this about the Apps and have upcoming plans.
For now, everyone can participate via mobile device by using TapaTalk.

I know, I know, tapatalk costs $1.99 in your market and we do not profit from that. What most do not understand is a custom App costs anywhere from 5 to 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS to develop and we do not have that laying around.

For now pay the $1.99 and enjoy the nice App. As for this thread, KEEP'EM COMING!!!

Please never use the phrase "Rise up". It's now been tainted. Thank you!

tapatalk is pretty much as good as it gets as far as for forum apps... I am pretty impressed with it. Developing an app for iPhone is a tedious and can be an expensive process.


The options are:

Hire someone to build it... Not Halo's style.

Build it your self: You must own a Mac computer to develop it your self from scratch. Most of the tools are OS X dependent, as of last year this has not changed. Everything has to be built from scratch graphics etc.... Very time consuming.

Having our own app also means that Halo may have to update the app every time a new version of iOS for iPhone/iPad comes out.

Yes I will! If by start you mean take that $1.99 and use it to put a MacBook on da layaway.... I would only need another 1500 $1.99 (in good faith) app purchases before I got started. :D

The best Saints site on the net. I post here, after all! :)

In all seriousness, I've enjoyed BnG for years. It's the best source of Saints info anywhere, hands down. Pretty decent bunch of posters, too!

This is a great site and you guys who have put all the effort into this should give yourselves a big pat on the back for doing such a great job.

I live in the UK and so I rely heavily on this site for all my info!

Great fans on here also, best in the NFL, bar none!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!

They're real! On the computer, go inside your windows and that desktop thing has some:

They also have web-widgets on the inner-nets.
Just go Google it on Bing!!

This was the first Saints web site I ever found or posted on. (around 2001 or 2 I think.) At the time there a guy here named Billy C(?) or something like that and there was a constant flame war going on between him and some other posters. it was out of control so I migrated to a couple of others, one of which being Saints Report. I still go there but the place is so large and there are so many hostile, know it alls that I eventually came full circle and found myself back here.

This a much friendlier place. When I talk to fans in other cities this the site I recommend them to come to if they want to have a friendly and intelligent conversation.

You said it all, Boutte, and by the way, you look nothing like Schottenheimer, but I was just being off-the-wall one day. I do wonder why you look so melancholy, because your posting seems pretty positive. Good to have you here.

If any of you would care to elaborate on why you come here it would be great...
The overwhelming amorous replies have led me to asking my self not the what.. but the why?

Do you come here for the great personalities?
Do you come here for the news?


I am sure Halo's massive corporate staff would love to feed us more of what we come here for.

I am not sure B&G could provide much more accurate news, but they could certainly dip into the slush fund to hire more colorful personalities to participate.

I my self come here because I know of no other Saints forum that provides me with so much knowledge on whether Unicorns have milk.

It's been 11 pages already. Any more and we'll have to have to replace the Fleur-de-lis with Richard Simmons' face.

We're glad you guys enjoy our site and without you guys posting, there is no site. Now lets move on and talk football.
