Roll an app out already for apples and androids, get some new players in. im 100% certain we will see a regular influx of players!!
its not hard, its mostly mobile friendly anyway, all u need to make is the app to launch you to the game.
just do it.
Just don't forget that if people don't know how to find it, and are not attracted to it, they will never give it a go. The effort to attract people is a lot more then create the app.
I do believe though that an app is a necessity if we want to increase the amount of players. It's quite obvious that the possibility to play the game whenever and wherever you want is attractive.
+ most people are lazy. Even at home I can guarantee that people don't bother to turn on the computer / laptop if they have their tablet or smartphone nearby.
Anyway, app would be great. But if no one is willing / able to go all the way with the e-marketing stuff then it's not worth the effort (even though I'd like an app myself).
the game played on a phone is shit, none APP neither attrakting new people will WORK.
The real problem is not to attrakt people, the real problem is to give em something they want to stay. Right now the game is kompletely bugged and very slow to play on a phone. You want to sell a produkt? 1st you gotta design a kompetitive produkt, and then promote it. IK is in phase zero, NO PRODUKT!
Works like a charm this game does on my iphone5 running iOS 8 and the map is great!
We need an app.
Tablets and smartphones are the way forward everyone uses them, so the ability to launch from..a direct app is appealing trust me, I use apps for most things I used to do on my browser, and the fact it's free would appeal on app stores for different devices. I mean who Googles free games? No one. But millions do search for free games via app stores on mobile devices. Tablets ect ect
It would open up the game to new players. So what if it's buggy. Iam yet to encounter a bug so there obviously not obvious to everyone.
ok if you say its good for tablets then be it, I use no tablet, I use a damn LG 7 and it works very slow, but maybe u are right and apps should be fokused for better tezhnology than mine.
Now get stefan do it!
^fail !! 
There are over 40,000 registered IC users FFS. Do you know how many fledgling game developers would let Primo sleep with their Grandma in order to have 47,000 potential users.
P.S. I am a fledgling developer.
P.S.S My Grandmother is dead.
P.S.S.S I am sure that still won't discourage Primo
Mods pushed for this when the new layout (which is just...great) was being developed. Stefan has 0 interest in developing an app 
Just for fun...
Anywho, at the link above is last rounds map of Sagitarious Dwarf done in a framework that can be published to Android, iOS or even run on XBOX or Playstation (nifty eh?). I thought i would play around a little with using the map coords from the game to layout a holo-map image.
This game works perfectly on a lg Nexus 4, the game is awsome but needs more Players...
In the days we used to promote this game via links and have lots of ads everywhere and a lot of players, but it has changed. Its become a little easier to play but the lack of Players is a sad sight.
I think the lack of players is down to the fact that people will do anything to win (I.e farm a family in to the ground to the point they just give up)
What I think we need is a limit installed to what can exactly be lost? Say 20-30% of there total planets?
This is still a big amount when you consider some family's will have 1.5-2k planets. Once they have lost thst amount they become protected for 72 hrs or so?
Why dont we get some developers to help out? Computer programmers in college that can use some practical experience (for free) may work? Or players that already have some knowledge of the game. All we need is stefan's support I suppose...

And experienced trustworthy developers that are willing to work without any sort of compensation

The story behind of why we don't have apps for IC. Stefan said you cant make actually make apps for IC because it doesn't have an API. Next alternative is to make it optional to use the desktop version on mobile since most of you have smart phones. So we are working on that.
First round born-again noob here:
I access this game 99% of the time from my phones's browser (Samsung Galaxy SIII) and it seems to work fine except for the watered down galaxy map (cant view a specific family's systems).
But booooy would it be nice to have alerts on my screen for when my buildings/units are built or ready to attack, a planet is explored, or a planet of mine is attacked. Instead of having to log in just to check up and finding things out hours afterward.
If that were ever to happen I would be sooooo happy
But judging from the discussion...
