Is there currently a phone app in development? or will there be in the near future? I was a part of GPX+ way back in 6th grade but stopped because I didn't have the means to really access the site anymore but now that I'm in my twenties and still have a love for pokemon I'd love for there to be an app because the mobile site has too many bugs for it to be usable. (i.e. images for eggs/pokemon not loading, unable to hatch eggs, etc.) I'd be more than happy to help with design, although I'm not much of a coder.

We don't have one in development, no, and we likely never will. There's a strong tendency of Nintendo to... let's say "flex their muscle" when it comes to apps that do things they want to do. And while there's currently no Nintendo Official Clickables app, should there be one in the future, any apps we create, and potentially the rest of the site, could come under their fire.

EDIT: Here's Word of God from GPX+'s own Zerxer.

I believe Zerxer/Big Bidoof has said in the past that having a phone app would expose the site more readily to Nintendo, which could result in a cease-and-desist. (I can't seem to find the relevant post at the moment, but it DOES exist on the forum somewhere.)

In the meantime, there is a mobile site you can access; I've actually bookmarked the site to my home screen so it's easy to access. It doesn't have every feature of the desktop site, but it comes close!

e: dang it slick

thanks a bunch! I figured that was probably the reason why I couldnt find anything on it, nintendo can be a real stickler for anything close to their games so that makes a lot of sense.

I use the mobile site quite frequently, only thing that is bugged for me is the vs seeker, are you sure you didnt block pop ups? (that makes the site pretty unusable.)
