Because of all the crappy mobile games, most likely.

I find it a chore, when eating outdoors, having to walk from my table, all the way to the toilet. Yes, it would stink up the place, but I do wish it would be accesible within a single brap.


I want to know why they don't replace all of the seats with toilets. Is it too expensive to put in all the extra plumbing? I'm genuinely constipated-

I've spotted some dudes who claimed that NG is hard to navigate and I really can't imagine how they think that unless they're some kind of idiot savant. I've lost sleep over it lmfao.
on mobile, the portal is gone. on my phone at least, but all I have to do is physically type in the link to it and it's all better. Then I added the shortcuts for all the other stuff


It's accessible through the footer under "Extra, Extra!"

No idea, But I still think the 2019 UI change for ng was very unecessary- if it was supposed to be mobile friendly, just make an app or make it exclusive to the mobile layout. the 2012 layout looked way nicer

Thats why I developed a Newgrounds Android App. This is an early access and thats why there is only the audio category in this app. But I am developing the other categories as well. Just wait a couple of time.

Here is the PlayStore link to my Newgrounds app:
NG Mobile Beta – Apps bei Google Play
Hey guys, I am back. After the Newgrounds Project failed I created a new App. If you are interested ypu can watch the trailer here:

This project is also in play store:

Hey, after reading the Terms of Use I am able to implement the Newgrounds search feature into my search engine :D (https://intercra.com)

So anyone wants to suggest extra features for this?

Then why Twitter, Instagram and Reddit have an aproved app?

I remember seeing some concept art for NG in mobile, but I'm pretty sure that it was more of a 'website mobile support' concept than an app.


Also a newgrounds app would be cool, but it would most likely underperform.

I'm not so sure why anyone want's a NG moblie app if that were to happen Tom Fulp would have to deal with alot of lawsuits and the crap that youtube had to go through that one time(anyone remember that?), any who besides the word app rhymes with crap.


Pfft hate won't hurt me

There was an Newgrounds app in play store by me and it was a real app. But Tom wasn't cool with it and the app was kicked out. But the app and the code of it is still on my PC

Apple and Google would probably want the platform to undergo big moderation changes if it was to be hosted on their app stores

Em maybe those are made by cooperate people and Newgrounds is made by an independent person?

That has nothing to do with getting an app published in Google Play Store. Anyone can publish an app to Google Play Store.

Not making an app to avoid censorship and paying fees, and instead making a browser version that works like an app prooves that Tom has 200 IQ.
