pigpenz Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 wow...these discussions have been going on ever since the first ipad came out.somehow all ipad discussions should be combined into one forum, so people can readabout remote control software or other flash enabled browsers for the pad. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen333 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 If apple just supported Flash, BBO bridge could be played on apple devices just like any other modern device that supports Flash like PC;s, mac's, xoom, galaxy Tab, etc. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM75 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have BBO the web version just running on my iPAD 2. I installed a new browser "Photon Flash" ran it instead of Safari and brought up BBO - logged in and watched. I have not tried out everything yet. Cheers Charles Just tried Photon Flash 1.8 on iPad (3).. I would not recommend this $4.95 app. It is awkward to use with keyboard. It forces you to select to use flash. It repeatedly will re-prompt you to see if you are still using it (even watching an amazon instant video - not sure why they use flash). Click and drag, for example to change the size of the user/result area does not work. Finally, and this is not really the fault of the app, BBO needs to be tailored to a screen as small as an iPad to work well. Maybe someday, BBO will have "tabbed" windows that are easier to manage to switch between views and environment management. Then it might work pretty well, but I would not expect that to happen in flash which is truly an awful (outdated) way to handle interaction on the web. I did not try testing the audio in a teaching or bidding table. Perhaps bidding table might be one place where this would work ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
many_i Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hi,have an iPad, try this:Install the browser called Puffin Free from the AppStore and go to the BBO homepage to loggin. This browser have an icon for Keyboard and one for Mouse. Enjoy the game. Margit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00abba Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Unfortunately Iphone or IPAD don't support flash player so is impossible use BBO on this hardware, but it'll be great to do so!Any people from technical support has an idea how it will be possible? ThanksEmilio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphoneboss Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Actually I'm comfortable with iPhone and i would like to iPhone very much.So if you’re already an iPhone owner, do you need the iPad too? The answer depends on how you currently use your iPhone--and on what you want out of the iPad. Think of it this way: If you’ve ever found yourself wanting more from your iPhone, you might consider investing in an iPad. Do you watch a lot of videos on your iPhone? If so, you’ve probably wished that the display were larger. Are you a gamer? iPad games blow iPhone games out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmfenerty Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Given that there is serious uncertainty in terms of how things are going to play out in this market (including with respect to whether or not Apple devices will remain popular or if they will go the way of the Mac), we are currently unwilling to commit the necessary resources to an Apple-specific project (sorry). According to the May 2012 IDC Worldwide Quarterly Media Tablet and eReader Tracker: Apple shipped 11.8 million iPads during the quarter, down from 15.4 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011, and grew its worldwide share from 54.7% in 4Q11 to 68% in 1Q12. Sounds like Apple is doing OK with this iPad thingamajig. Might be worth reconsidering the potential market of a native iOS app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 There is a BBO app now that works on ipad.iphone android and kindle: http://www.bridgebase.com/doc/mobile_version_description.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 And Fred's point is still valid. The technology we used for this app is not Apple-specific, it allows the same app to be deployed on all these platforms (just as the switch to Flash allowed the same web application to be used on Windows, Macs, and Linux).

Boooooo!Any vendor can randomly discontinue anything. If you worry about that, you can't develop any products, since you're always dependent on the platform.

diana_eva Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 This app does not support playing bridge with humans. Is that correct? Not at the moment, but very soon. Fred submitted an update to Apple last week. BBO app version 3.1 is already available for Android, but apple takes longer to approve for some reason. On this latest version it will be possible to play with people. We hope the update for iphone/ipad will be available in the next few days.

newmoon Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Here you can see a lovely exposition of how BBO can be played on an Ipad.Going via “Älways on PC”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OslW7C_RdvM Still have trouble?

Just get the bbo app in playstore / appstore / amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmfenerty Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Was that meant as sarcasm?No. See posts #26, 33, 36, etc. These posts about three different workaround products are made by different people, each with 3 or fewer posts. They're obviously just marketing their products. I'd argue that they're pointing out a large gaping hole in the BBO portfolio: lack of a native iPad app for playing bridge against humans.

There is a BBO native App. The last version allows play with humans too. http://www.bridgebase.com/doc/mobile_version_description.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
