Good news everyone! (insert Futurama joke here)
There is now a WUWT app for those with mobile devices. It supports mobile platforms (phone and tablet) for both Android and iOS operating systems.
It is completely free to download and use.
The engine behind this is a webapp developed by our own Eric Worrall, who not only writes excellent pieces for us but is also a coder with his own company, Desirable Apps.
We are taking a different tact here than what is normally done. The reason is that we know that Apple and Google have both let it be known that they censure climate skeptic content. Google has killed adwords advertising on WUWT a couple of years ago and Apple has made it known that they may also censure content they deem incompatible with their viewpoint.
Therefore, had we put the WUWT app on the Android Play Store of the Apple iTunes store, it would only be a matter of time before some activist complains and we get pulled from those stores. Even if we had not violated any terms of service, they’d find a reason to kill it. It is as predictable as the sun rises.
So, we circumvented that. The webapp Eric created doesn’t live on those stores, and can’t be canceled. Basically we install a bookmark that appears like an app on your mobile device, and that calls up an app-sized menu page that exists on WUWT. Nothing else gets installed – no tracking, cookies, or anything else. The screen as it appears on your phone is shown below:
