    Suggestion: Making the voting app for mobile devices for both Android and Apple

    Reason: I (and many many others) do not have android phones

    Other: I think it would help the server get more votes!! I don't know how hard it would be, but if you could do it that would be great!!

    There is a very big list of issues with Apple;
    Here's the short version.

    The previous author of the voter app, decided to become a big pain for me to update/re create the app, for anyone who knows what it is, he has filed 8 DMCA's on me. (Google Digital Millennium Copyright Act.) Apple has followed through on them, and prevented me from publishing my app.
    He has put a DMCA on the following:
    ECC Voter, ECC Mobile Voter, EcoCityCraft Voter, EcoCityCraft Mobile Voter, EcoCityCraft Mobile Voting App, ECC Voting App, ECC Mobile Voting App, and EcoCityCraft.

    I've submitted the app to Apple for multiple revisions, using multiple different frameworks.
    I have changed the name, 4 times, repeatedly updating it to something longer, shorter, or completely unrelated. (See Above)
    I have called Apple, numerous times, and repeatedly shown them the evidence of what he has done, as well as the proof I own the EcoCityCraft Voter on the other two platforms.
    They have already accepted the DMCA, and therefore cannot change it.
    They have however, completely banned the previous creator from filing anymore towards my account, so I have the following choices:
    • Appeal the DMCA in a court (This is extremely expensive, as I would be in fact fighting Apple. Lawyers are not cheap)
    • Wait until the DMCA expires. (One year)
    Honeslty, I really would like to post the app, but I am given a wall every. single. time.

    It's wasted too much of my time right now. I took time away from my work to make them before, and I really do not have time to jump through all the hoops.

    I may be able to find a way around it, but for now, there are no promises.


    TL;DR: Previous Author is a pain in the ass, prevented apple from publishing the app, numerous times. I do not have the time to jump through the hoops again.

    This would be better but may be a hassle for the developing team, so it is up to them really.

    +1 (if possible:) )

    Apple's regulations:
    AKA, as the voter is simply just that, it must be contain, 'Voter' as well as possibly ECC.
    I really don't have time to redo the app every single time (As it bans the app that I submit with, not just the title.)

    Just give the developers a break and vote when you get home or access the Ecc website from your phone.

    I just thought it would be helpful to more then half the server. And I've tried to vote just on the website from my phone, it doesn't work.
    Sounds like to much trouble. Thanks anyway @JamieSinn! :)

    No-one used the voter app, we don't need one, its just links to the voting websites. Just IMO.

    I'd like to see the voting app be more useful again, but if it's too much work for Jamie, then it's not worth it.

    It would be cool if the voting websites released a voting app for use with any server.

    Who made this? There are so many problems with it:
    There's a "game" in it where you have to keep the ball from hitting the ground. Completely pointless.
    Screen is stretched on devices with the bigger screens.
    Votes aren't reliable (only 1 of the 3 worked for me)

    They need to make the app portrait orientation, use the apple API to make it look nice, and make it work better.
    I am working on a concept design for this.

    So really no offense to whoever made this but it needs tons of work.
    Screenshots here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ecc-voter/id901157495
    I'll send you some concept designs I already made.
