It is accessible from the iPhone, I just wish for a better format. Like I said I like it here and the reviews/ers haven't steered me wrong so far. Maybe a theme for the mobile site like Modmyi, iDownloadblog, 9Gag, or the macrumors forum (a few others I don't think I can mention here lol). I've been reading some threads on an iPhone app but haven't seen anything official yet. Hopefully soon tho. I know these things are probably not easy to implement but it would still be on my wish list
Oh and another tip... Don't say we're bragging when there's lots of indie devs who can't afford the advertisements...
Ideas for things I would like to win: * Giftcards from either Amazon or iTunes * Apple devices: Apple TV, iPod, iPad, Apple chargers, headphones (Munitio, Turtle Beach, Astro, Skull Candy, just not Apple ones ), bluetooth keyboards, trackpads, iPad stands, etc. * Stagger the prizes so there are 1-5th place or so. Especially for bigger events. How to improve what you do on TA: * I don't really think there's much room for improvement. More contests, beta tests, etc would always be welcome. Ideas for possible events: * Trivia ** How many of X do you think were sold last weekend? ** Guess this picture ** Give us a suggestion for game X ** Scavenger hunts are always fun I like the contests where there are multiple steps, but the winner is chosen randomly. There are people that do the bare minimum just to be entered so weeding those guys out somehow would be great. Like "Review this game but give us suggestions to make it better." That way you know they took the time to play with the app, not just type in a generic review and be on to the next contest. How to get us more involved: * Twitter is a great place for this. Post a few tweets that need to be retweeted or facebook posts that need to be liked and shared. * I don't like high-score contests but one developer had a contest where the first 3 people to get a certain score won. It wasn't so much a king of the hill situation that way and we all had fun with it. * Maybe even a tournament if the game supports it. There are Hero Academy and Disc Drivin' tourneys all the time.
I think giving away accessories would be a good idea since your audience already owns the devices. That way it would be cheaper and more prizes. I like contests that involve creativeness. Mini videos, projects you take pictures with and show off. Involve casual players by advertising contests in the app itself. Making it possible for people who do not frequent the TA forums to join in.
Just have more contests. Keep up the great work and thank you for this great opportunity. Maybe have another contest to win a playstation vita .
Some prizes you could give out, could be iPad, itouch, and iPhone cases/covers. I think if you guys out up more beta testing events that would improve toucharcade, because their aren't many beta testing events happening lately. Some events could making a video, drawing a character for a game you're beta testing, and maybe a raffle? You can make an emailing list and email us about news about beta testing and events that are going on
Congratulations burn!! actually I was planning on doing a review event but will use your suggestions. Thank you very much!! 8 more giftcards to giveaway!!

Another suggestion - tweet ad dm code only on your web site most tweet of your apps most users isn't it? I hope a gift one post suggest every day...
Some ideas: 1. You could put AppsAsia Event #XX (XX is the number of contest) in the contest thread's name. With this, we will know that you have made many contests before and therefore it will be more reliable and mark your name as advertiser. Old participants will continue to follow, while new participants will be interested. It's also easier to browse for the contest in TA (only search for AppsAsia Event). 2. You could make some requirements on the contest related for TA, therefore it's strengthen the relationship of the contest with TA. For example : put the game's name in the user id, etc. 3. Since you want to scoop more people toward the game, the higher the chance to win makes the contest more interesting. To do that you can add more prizes (even with smaller amount), separate the prize for lite version and paid version (so that there are 2 chances instead of 1), and don't make first come first serve contest, but make it random or the best is the winner.
Ideas for things you would like to win -for small prizes, itunes gift card: 10$, 25$, 50$ or app of our choice -for big prizes, gaming consoles like xbox, PS3 or Wii, portable GC like 3DS or PSPvita, also smartphones would be nice not just iphones and we would also like laptops and/or tablets Things we can do to improve what we do on Toucharcade -just conduct a lot of survey/poll like this: "should we do this or this one instead? Vote now!" Ideas for possible events -bring me app! "to be eligible in this contest, you should have a these apps: "XXX", "XXX", and/or "XXX "installed in your iDevice" -best screenies! "post your best screenshot for this game "XXX"! Ten people will be selected by the appsasia staff and those ten will be judge both by the TA users and by the staff. How we can get you more involved! -more contest, more giveaway, more surveys/polls and definitely more beta testing!!!
Ideas for things you would like to win iTunes Gift Card or PayPal credits PS3, PS Vita, XBOX360, 3DS Apple iPad, iPhone, touch Things we can do to improve what we do on Toucharcade more contests and higher prizes for players from TA Ideas for possible events 1. "Buy 1 (maybe 2) and get 1 for free" something like that. Apps could be the same or not the same. But all of them should be actually bought not redeemed by promo codes. Suppose I bought the game you're promoting, I think it is a great app, so I introduce it to my friends, one of my friends then buy the app too. Both of us give a review on store as a proof. You could then gift one app for me. 2. Hold events that could make us leave honest reviews. I'm not able to figure out how yet. I guess honest reviews are more useful not only to other players but also to you, they could make you make the games better. 3. Give prizes to first 5 players to find a scene or an unique item in the game How we can get you more involved! 1. more contests, events and giveaways here or on FB or on Twitter. 2. hold events like design stages/levels, name characters...
How about doing a trivia contest and one random person with the correct answer wins. Also a guess the game title, guess the game's level, guess the character's name, guess the etc. contest seems to be a good one too. This way, people will have to play or know about your game releases to win this "Guess the Game" contest. This is a good way to promote the app.
Ideas for things you would like to win - Gift cards for example iTunes gift card, Apple gift card, Amazon gift card, Paypal money; - some Apple devices like iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad - Any app of my choice under X$ Things we can do to improve what we do on Toucharcade Keep doing what you doing. Ideas for possible events Random drawing, high score contests, best feedback, best improvement suggestions How we can get you more involved! More contests and more giveaways!
