SuperCharlie Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I have a client who is asking about a mobile shopping solution. I noticed there is a mobile app but I am wondering how does it integrate with PS and if the 1.4.x store is mobile friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If you design your template around being used on a mobile device it should work fine. I have tested a few of my shops on mobile devices and they work just fine. If you are good with css you can achieve a different look on a mobile device using media queries.

SuperCharlie Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thank you for the reply dh. Unfortunately, I dont have a mobile device.. I do use a FF plugin which lets me switch user agents and from a clean install I just did it doesnt appear that PS does anything with those as I changed to android and it didnt do anything with the default theme. Anyone have any comments as to how the default theme works and looks on various mobile devices? Also, what is the deal with the mobile app and how does that work?

Dh42 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The default template renders fine in android and safari mobile. You should try to pick up a few devices on the cheap if you can. The mobile ap from the best of my understanding just repackages your web site in an app. From what I remember it does cost a few thousand dollars minimum. As a developer you would be better off using phone gap or something similar if you are just looking for a mobile solution. Mike at one point posted a mobile app they created. It was nice, but at the same time I don't understand why people would want a mobile app to shop at a store. I just like buying from my browser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCharlie Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 I was blown away by phone gap.. Ive never seen it before.. watched the "what is it" vid..and was wow'd.. then at the bottom I saw.. "Nitobi has been acquired by Adobe." As soon as they leave beta it will be a cash monster.. damn shame. Appreciate the insights. +liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 You can download it now before it is. Also if you are not aware, you can get most Adobe applications for only $50 a month. http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tools.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
