I think a downloadable phone app should be designed for wonderland.tf Forums.
In this way, anyone can easily browse the forums from their phone without using Chrome or any web browsers.

Why did this idea come to my mind? Because most phones have low memory, they do slow web searches or else.

The resources and money required to develop mobile apps are probably not going to benefit Wonderland in any way. Phone apps would probably take up MORE resources than the forums website because the mobile app would likely be doing more requests per second to the server.

While this is a cool concept, this is not feasible for Wonderland, in my opinion.

under a rock, on a tropical island
but... why?

It's not that easy to just develop an app and put it on use. Not bad as idea but it will require some effort to make, maintain and upgrade
And also, devs here have spent a lot of their time and effort to make the mobile version as user-friendliest as possible.

The best way to browse Wonderland on a mobile is either by using a browser or just use Discord. It's more active than the forums.
On discord, you can see what's going on on the forums, you can see bans status, check other users' bans/stats, request for help or make enquiries (Instant responses!)...

To make an app, you have to consider some of the following factors:
Platform- (Android/IOS/Windows...)
OS versions (Compatibility)
your budget
and beta testers...

I don't know much about apps and stuff but I'm sure that there are more things to consider out there.

Why would you even need the forums as an app , knowing you can reach it on a browser on your phone. And like HP said , it would take more ressources than it would give. -1.
