What kind of app?

As poorly worded as the original poster said it, he is right in that a wowhead app would be awesome. It wouldn't need to have the bonus stuff like talent calculators and forums access, just the database, so you can look up anything, read comments, post comments and whatnot. Then I could play in full screen and not have to alt-tab to check something on wowhead >.>

This has been suggested a few times. There is no immediate plan to make the site more mobile friendly.
There is a more iPhone friendly version of the site you can access at
http://www.mobilewh.com
. It was built by
tecnobrat
a while ago in his spare time, so forgive if there are some bugs. :)
Edit:
Or there was. =/

Wowhead's greatest strength, in my humble opinion, is in its design. Putting together a new design specifically for mobile phones would be a long and time-consuming process which we don't yet have the resources to undertake.
We do have some places where limited functionality is available (check out
http://mobilewh.com
, which
Tecnobrat
made for iPhones), but right now, the official site is the only thing we have the ability to support.
Try
Opera Mini
. Most of the important site features work as is, although getting to the forums is a bit tricky (you have to use the URLs).
Yeah, apparently mobilewh isn't up anymore. :(
In any case, this is a possibility for the future, but we've got some important things to take care of first.

Ah, like an on-the-fly database app?
The only thing I'd say is that, seeing as you'd really only need a database while you're actually playing the game, making it pointless other than wanting to look stuff up when you're bored...
Just my 2 cents.

We had an iPhone app in the works, but Blizzard started sending C&D threats to existing apps so we paused development. When we hear more from them we may be able to pick that project back up.

I would really love to see a wowhead iPhone app. I would like to see this app's main function be questing and general data mining. As a previous poster said, I don't see a need for talent calculator, links to other sites, links to pictures that aren't related to the above, or any of the other many wonderful functions that the full site provides. Blizzard, get you head out of nether region and get on board with this! You have been smart about other things like addons, this will just further enhance the gaming experience of the people that want to use it.
Gaming since 1985.

You know what makes me giggle? I posted this from my Google Nexus S and use the full functionality of wowhead (including viewing 3d models) almost every day with no trouble. Not sure what the rest of you are all whining about. Maybe a new phone is in order rather that barraging staff about an app?

Google nexus 5. Wait isn't that android. When the convo is about iPhone. Different OS. Android have full access to flash etc iPhone does not. We're not barraging staff about something easily fixed by a new phone. It's a whole collective of people using iPhones / Apple Products.
