Discworld app

Very slack. I can't imagine why they wouldn't think of other platforms.

Probably Nobby's fault, would'nt happened if Ponder had been doing it.

Or maybe they're trying to tempt you to the dark side it is mmmnnn!!

The shame of it is that it looks like it might be a really nice looking app. The screen shots that Transworld have been showing on the facebook page look really nice and I would really like to play with it but there is no way I am going to purchase an iPad. Now, you have to understand, if somebody gave me an iPad I wouldn't throw it away - but I certainly wouldn't pay for one.

So, if you could visit Ankh - Morpork

- Which characters would you hope to find?
- Which streets would you like to explore?

I had fun with the Compleat Ankh-Morpork working out routes around the city. I wonder if the app will have the equivalent of googlemaps and allow you to plan routes. That would be cool!

The Street of Cunning Artificers! I'm sure I'd finding something I hadn't even imagined.

I've been to some dodgy places and eaten some rather dubious foodstuffs in the past so I would like to visit the shades and sample one of Dibbler's sausage inna bun.

You're a brave man!

The Street of Cunning Artificers for me too, and maybe share one of Dibblers pies with Penners, only half as dangerous then

Ugh, is that actually meant to be a pie made by CMOT Dibbler? I'd run a mile.

Anyway...

We're v excited about the #discworldapp but also sorry it’s not all platforms at this early stage but haven't ruled out future developments

[Jason]

Official word from Transworld:

Thanks to everyone for your feedback on an Android version of the app. We're really sorry not to be able to launch the app for all platforms at this early stage but we certainly haven't ruled out developing a version for other platforms in the future, so we welcome your suggestions. In the meantime, it's a really exciting new development for Discworld and we hope that those that can download it do, and enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed creating it.

Ipads are annoying, you need a computer to download apps. I mean seriously, do apple assume anyone buying an ipad is rich? "only people who already have computers will buy our ipads"? so this is just me letting off steam but I do think it's a bit silly, if you have the internet I don't understand why downloads aren't possible.
