Create android, apple & windows app for opendns admin
PlannedThe web interface is ok but when trying to use a phone to administer the site, it is quite awkward, a phone app would be better and improve the on the fly maintenance of opendns settings.

Changing back to "Create android and apple store app for opendns admin" 9/9/2014 as this is really the thing I wanted in the first place.

The current interface is quite awkward for mobile and tablet users. You can still use it but it's awkward so I'd love for an app to be developed. The app doesn't have to have all the bells and whistles. As long as it can:
- Customise categories to block
- Configure Whitelist and Blacklist
- Update IP Address
Nothing else, just those would do. Thanks :)

While we don't have specific plans for this yet we recognize the need of many to want to administer their OpenDNS account and settings via mobile devices. Whether this will take the shape of native applications or a mobile friendly Dashboard is yet to be determined.
As this progresses further, we'll continue to post information and updates to this thread.

You're still posting in this thread with topic "Create a mobile friendly way to administer OpenDNS" in the "Idea Bank" section. Didn't see?
What about to open your own thread in e.g. the "Community Help" section?

"instead of having to fire up computer."
You don't have to. Many devices have a built-in updater supporting also DNS-O-Matic, OpenDNS or "user defined". Use this instead!
"to have an openDNS updater App"
I think you don't want "to fire up computer"? Also a smart phone is just a computer, didn't know? So, where should this "App" be running on if not a computer?

"Update IP" most likely not. You don't want to break your settings while registering random IP addresses from a roaming device for your network, do you?"
I couldn't agree more. I think is would be great to be able to update the Dynamic IP of a home router-based wifi network from a mobile device. The App would need to be manual so that people who access roaming networks could do so without registering and people with "internet of things" devices such as smart TVs, etc do not have to fire up a computer just to send a dynamic IP to OpenDNS.
Of course you would have to allow that other people have enough intelligence to know what kind of network they are using?
