    AW on mobile devices?

    Hi folks,

    There are several tradeshows each year for the adult industry, that we attend sometimes. Every show for the last few years has been very focussed on mobile. Partly joining on mobile phones, and providing a payment method other than credit card), but also consuming the actual site on mobile. Perhspas as well as on a desktop or table, but mostly just having a sub, and watching everything on the mobile phone.

    We know that some people do this, but it's not clear what percentage of their total time on the site is via mobile vs something else. We can make the site be more friendly for mobile devices (it's not terrible, but it's far from perfect), but I wanted to get a sense of how valuable that'd be.

    Have you ever "consumed" AW content on your mobile? How's it work for you? Would you liek to do it more, but our site makes it hard?

    I have used my mobile for AW a few times but found if difficult and slow to move around so gave up.
    A true mobile version would mean I would use it more but still maybe only 5-10% of my AW viewing.

    Much more if the boards were also a mobile friendly environment, (maybe up to 25%) but gather that the boards would be low priority on any investment into improving the mobile experience.

    (please note I gave up on the mobile version a while ago, so if there has been any improvements in the last year then my comments are based on my experience before that).

      I would never log in on my smart phone as the images would be too small for me. These days I almost always connect using my iPad through my home's wireless and in my easy chair, where I can relax and enjoy the view. I likely would never connect when outside my home.

        Had tried it once or twice on my iPod Touch at home, though the images and videos aren't that enjoyable on such a small screen.

          Hi Garion, I use an Android tablet and the site works well on that format. It kinda sucks on my HTC One phone, it's not just the fact that the mobile version of the site is a problem, its more the size of the phone screen and my failing eyesight. I check the site out on the tablet and mentally note content to download on the desktop. On the phone I am really only looking at your Twitter feed.

            I have in the past and on very rare occasion brought up the AW site and the Forums on my mobile device, but as it is with, not only this site but practically anything web page-related, it's quite tedious to navigate around a website on a cellphone so I don't do it often. Also I would consider others around me and the environment I might be in at the time where wi-fi might be available, such as at work or in a coffee shop, it might not be the most appropriate thing to be browsing an adult entertainment website in that type of environment. Instead I tend to wait till I'm at home to dive into the AW Forums and enjoy the site, on a PC that is, where it's much easier to navigate around and things are easier to see than on a tiny cellphone screen.

              I don't own a cell phone and I never will. I think they should be outlawed as they serve no useful purpose except to be a convenience to those who have them and feel that it's okay for the world to be able to contact them 24/7. I am not so important that I think that the world should be able to contact me 24/7, so cell phones are a waste of time and money. No one NEEDS a cell phone, period! Because of this, I voted that I would never view AW content on a cell phone (or mobile as others call them.) Then again, I don't view any of AW content except for the forums since I have no interest in looking at the girls here. If it wasn't for members posting about certain shoots in the forums, I'd never look at any of the girls here....I'm just not that interested in their photo shoots.....I prefer to read certain threads in the forums....threads like this one. If I have downloaded 5 MB from AW, then that is a lot. My browser is set to take me directly to the forums when I click on the AW link. I rarely go to the home page to see what's happening. I have no interest in any of that, so the forums are my preferred choice here at AW.

                Hi Garion...i cancelled my cell phone last year but when i did have access, i hardly ever used it to view AW's content for the same reasons already mentioned.

                  The Full-HD Displays on modern smartphones are really great and I like to use it for pictures and (Youtube-) Videos. I'm not considering it for consuming porn on travel mainly for privacy reasons. I don't want it in the browser history, having pictures of nude girls found by some gallary management apps, history of videoplayers, strange "suggestions", or whatever might pop up later when people look over my shoulder. Of course, there is the private mode of the browser, but that would mean that I'd have to stream the content when I view it, which is not really enjoyable on mobile networks or hotel wifi. So basically you would need something like trustworthy hidden porn viewing app that can download videos and pictures in advance for later consumption.
