How about launching lishogi on appstore & googlestore?

quality of application much better than shogiwars I think.

Why not??

it would be succesful.

You can just pint lishogi website in you mobile screen for fast access.

For more accessibilty for more people.

many people don't know lishogi here.

I agree to the idea of having a dedicated app of lishogi for mobile. Playing it on a browser just doesn't appeal to me that much since the browser specific menu bars takes up space on the screen. I also accidently scroll the page sometimes while trying to move a piece.

I've learned just now that lichess has an app for iOS and Android and it feels great to play on them. It would be great if there was one for lishogi as well.

This is absolutely a great idea, and I'm sure at some point lishogi will have a dedicated app. The mobile browser site is not bad (at least for correspondence and puzzles, maybe not for bullet or blitz), so I'm happy with it for the time being.

Making an app is not a simple process, and I'm not sure how much of the lichess app code can be reused. It's a problem of economy as well, as lichess has several million users, many of which are patrons; while lishogi (probably?) has less than 5,000 users right now. Lichess has dozens of program contributors, where lishogi only has a couple.

The best way to improve the site is to get people more interested in shogi, and get those who are already interested in shogi to join the site. The more people, the more patrons and contributors there can be. If you have friends who enjoy shogi, tell them. If you have friends who can code, see if they are willing to help out. The quality of the site and future app is entirely up to how many people care about it.

Some year there might be a rewrite of the Lichess app too.
