That would be pretty awesome! Maybe Siri can type our comments for us.

It would keep you always automatically logged in, unlike Safari it sometimes kicks you out. It would also make the boards/blog actually fit your screen automatically instead of you having to use your two fingers to make things smaller and be able to see everything in one glance. It would be nice to be able to still make things larger, though, if we needed to see something easier.

The site works great on the iPad and Nook Color. Since the site is clutter free, I have no problems viewing it on my devices. I'm not sure if an app would help me.
Although I don't have an iPhone or Android device (still running ancient Palm on my Treo 755p), I am able to view the site fairly well in my phone's web browser. I'll try to make a comment and see how well that works.
Honestly, I rarely ever use the apps for websites and prefer to view them directly on my devices. They always direct me to the app, and I usually ignore it.

It doesn't happen that often but Hellobee has crashed my Firefox browser on my PC a few times now. Not a huge deal since Firefox restores all my tabs but just thought I would mention it.

I would like an app for this site. It would be nice to see posts and responses all on one page - so you don't have to scroll back and forth to read everything. I do a lot of reading on my phone at night and in the morning, so it would be great to have an Android app for this site!

Posts and responses all on one page... interesting!
How would that work?
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
Eck...that came out wrong.
What I meant was....being able to read everything on one page w/o having to scroll left and right to see everything. Obviously posts would have one page and then when you click on a post, you get a new page to see all of the responses. Mostly I meant to be able to see what you're reading without having to scroll. I'm going to go shut up now because I'm not even making sense to myself.

Ah I see, I think I get it now! You'd prefer it if when you're viewing Hellobee on your iPhone or Android phone, the width of the page would auto adjust to your mobile browser?

I would love a feature kind of like an e-book / encyclopedia / magazine of all of Mrs. Bee's checklists and fact sheets about pregnancy/delivery/childcare/etc. Also some child-friendly features... even just a slideshow of images kids can swipe through... maybe allow users to upload images of their babies? I know RJ loves looking at other kids!

Auto-adjusting would be great! I like accessing the site from my iPhone but I constantly have to scroll or re-size everything. I also think @dorytina idea is awesome.

Agree with Dorytina... all of the guides and checklists would be great to access in a mobile app!

I've seen tools on other pregnancy websites that while interesting are more just novelties. I think Bee & Mr. Bee would do a great job putting their own spin on Due Date predictor, At X week Baby is the size of X, (really some of the veggies & fruit I've never heard of or seen in a grocery store), Name Generator, sex/gender predictor, or ovulation tools.

Auto-adjusting I agree!
But I think.... the boards can look something like the Baby Bump App (for the community)
This is the board home page :

This is the "category" posts

And this is "my" info :

Hope this helps.
I don't think for the blog you need much more, other than the "auto-width" it's more for the boards (I find)

I think it would be nice to have something that you can hit that will take you to the top of the page similar to the Pinterest website.

I read WTE (What to Expect) groups (boards) daily on my phone when I'm nursing. It would be nice to have for this site.

I'm really late to this conversation, but I would LOVE a Hellobee app. I'm newly pregnant and have been looking for a good app. I don't want a traditional app that shows my baby's progress. Beyond more easily browsing the blogs and boards, I'd love if some of the checklists and guides would be available in a format that you can use on your phone (ie. I could literally check off all of the things that I need to buy for baby). I haven't found an app I love yet, so I hope something is in the works.

Another vote for auto-adjusting. Also, it would be GREAT if the app could allow Mrs. Bee's checklists and guidelines to be checked off on my app and then saved. That what I don't have to print everything out. I can just check things off my checklist on my phone.

I love all the suggestions! An app would be awesome for posting etc. It would also be neat if you could track certain things like feeding, diaper changes, pumping sessions etc. Maybe a pregnancy/baby timeline with milestones.

I think an App that would keep you signed in & just be easier to use with button tabs & maybe an option for favorite threads that notified you on your app.
