The 928uk app doesn't try to be the website or mailing list and it isn't a social networking app. But if you have a 928 and love them then we think its for you.
It is free to download and use. Adverts are free for a trial period.
The app uses data from a real-time database for end users images and documents. it caches data which means it works offline and respects the end users data allowance, it has authentication and account profile management (creation, editing, forgot password account deletion etc). You can upload photos and get the specification of your 928. It supports Google AdMob adverts, Amazon affiliate buttons, online detection and the articles in the app come directly from our website via the Joomla API. New in this release is the ability to mark your car for sale, and have people email or call you (your choice).
928uk® for iPhone
The app also runs on iPad's and on Mac Computers with Apple Silicon you can find it in the App Store.
928uk® for Android
The 928uk app is based on a material design with with user interface elements including a nav bar, snack bars, list views, bottom sheets, extended floating action buttons, search, automatic dark and light appearance based on phone settings and more.
It is sophisticated and rich.
It took less than 30 days originally in elapsed time and several releases and messages back and fore with Apple App Review from when I first submitted it to Apple to get it through App Review. This rewrite took around a week in elapsed time.
This started as very much my kitchen sink app to check out and get to know some best practices in Flutter based app development so that I can speak from experience using something I built for myself rather than using products built or managed for clients to demonstrate mobile app capabilities.
The latest update to the app was built using Flutter with automatic submission to the App Store and Google Play using Multizone's continuous integration system. It passed App review and Play Store review on the first attempt.
This app is super niche, and I was fortunate to have a group of testers passionate about it. But it is also a proof of capability to show how a living working example of how many of the technologies in Flutter can be put to use for a community or organisation to deliver identical functionality for iOS and Android while respecting platform differences between the two major phone operating systems.
928uk® is published in the App Store and Google Play.
