Super Programmer John has been hard at work on a CAG iPhone App. The initial functionality will be primarily as a game price search engine, but there will be collection, wishlist and other features in the future.

Keeping in the CAG spirit, it will be free.

We need your name ideas!

I'm assuming the App Store is not going to allow us to call it "Cheap Ass Gamer", which would be my first choice. Any ideas?

Some we've already thought of are:
iCAG
CAG to Go


Edit: Maybe we can use "ass" after all. Still, give us your suggestions!

Suggestion:I would like to see a combination USCP and Egotrip button in the CAGapp.It would make it so you can easily go the last comment you've made in said subscribed thread(if that makes sense).Also,I would like to see the awesome search button implemented in some way.

As always stay classy.

Cheap App Gamer is pretty good actually

or just something simple CAG Search. I think the apps with the "i" in them suck like iCAG etc. Remember it's got to be quite short because there isn't much space to display the text on the iPhone/iPod Touch main screen.

Huh? Since when?

By all means give me the link because when I browse CAG from my Blackberry browser, all I get is the full website which takes a while to load due to all the content on the front page.

Edit: I found it. You have to change forum layout to CAG Mobile. But that also sucks because if I change the layout on my BB to CAG Mobile, it also changes the version on the computer to mobile as well. We just need like a mobile web address like m.cheapassgamer.com, that should point you to the mobile version of CAG. I've seen many websites set up like this. Either way the mobile version of CAG could use an 2.0 version upgrade as well.

I have to vote for CheapAppGamer as well, the only really catchy title here.

Looking at what is stated as the feature list, I'm not so sure that I would use the app. Looking up game prices is going to be fantastic for many people, but I tend to look at the deals forum to see how people are discussing the latest deals, such as "Hey, Barbie super adventures is $5 at gamestop!" "Oh, hey, you should actually look into it, it's great!" To this extent, will there be a mobile version of the site to read the forums, or is the concentration of resources going into the app version of the site? (And to all current mobile users, does CAG show well on smartphones?)

Also, do you know if John will be working on apps for the blackberry/Android systems?

I'd rather have something short and descriptive than something cute like iCAG. I like the names to just be titles, rather than something like The Weather Channel's "Standard" (since the icon has the name).

*Side Note: Any ideas on the Collection being able to link/export/import with the Amazon collection? Or the blog posts to link to a wordpress.org or .com, or rss?

IMO, CheapAppGamer sounds like an AppSniper type of application, geared towards finding cheap iPhone apps.

CAG, iCag (but I agree with the i prefix being played out), CheapAssGamer, Cheap Gamer, Cheapy Cheapington.

I'm not a huge fan of CAG to Go, or CAG Mobile, because they sound like mobile website names, rather than a full blown app name.

I think anything with App or Apps in the name sounds App Store related.


I had to tell everyone in my office to stop calling our software applications, apps. Mainly because a customer would be confused about iPhone compatibility. I have them trained to say software, programs, or applications, but never APP lol

CAG Game Hunter-

Probably not possible with the first generation of the CAG APP-
Redlaser.com is giving away a free SDK for it's barcode scanning app (see below)
If you could integrate this into the app and compare real-time online prices vs. the brick & mortar while in store . . . you could turn many in-store impulse buys into online sales (with all the benefits that it provides).

Edit: I am sure they would want a licensing fee or percentage, which may necessitate creating a pro and standard version of the CAG app since you do want it to be a free app.
