I would like to use it but of course I can't (iOS). You should really launch these kind of MVP in a normal website accessible to as many browsers to have maximum audience. Here you do the opposite and target a small percentage of the world that uses iphones.

I have to agree - I know this opinion is unpopular but there are some things for which computers are still ideally suited, and this seems like one of them. Would I want to restrict my audience to the 15% or so of people who use iOS? Why does this need to be an app at all, for that matter?

Thanks for feedback! /Makemove Team

Thanks for feedback! We will think about it for the next project. For now we are doing mobile first. /Makemove Team

That's not what mobile first means.

For all the awesome people with android: Right now we will focus solely on iOS and then come back with an amazing Android app when we feel that we are getting more close to our vision with iOS. The reason for that is that we are small team and we had to pick one device. Thanks for your support! /Makemove Team

I use android and don't have an iOS device, so I can't see your app. But even if you made it an android app, I wouldn't use it because I don't see any reason why I would install an app for this.

I think a website would reach the broadest audience, and I would actually try it out.

Interesting idea, but literally everyone I know at the local hackerspace has Android or (company provided) Windows phone. Any particular reason you are only starting out with an OS commonly seen from programmers and computer folks as locked down and impossible to play with? After all, your target audience seems include people who enjoy messing around with hardware and software....
