To see who is kibbing at the table tap the More arrow at the top, then tap Who's Online. Choose "Kibitzers" in the spinner showing Friends/Hosts/Stars/Kibitzers.

 

For viewing a profile, tap and hold down your finger for a few seconds on the name of a player in chat. His profile will appear.

Got it. Thank you Diana.

The landscape option is a massive improvement. Top of my request list now is other room result when kibitzing/vugraph; perhaps only available in landscape given the extra real estate.

Thanks. Next version will include display of other table result.

IPad/Iphone. Is there no Audio in this App? I miss the BBO sounds. Or am I missing something?

Currently there are no sounds. There will be sounds in the next version.

I noticed the new android BBO app required Adobe Flash. HTTP5 is replacing Flash and many companies (e.g., Google on Android 4.1+) no longer support Flash. Besides, Flash is a virus magnet. Might be time to move on.

You are confusing web pages with apps. Flash, in the context that you mention it, pertains to web pages (as does HTML5).

 

The BBO mobile app was created using an Adobe product that is Flash-like in some ways, but it would be wrong to say that this app "requires Flash" (at least in the tradition web page sense).

Fred, are there any plans to include bidding practice rooms on the mobile app?

 

Not sure if this one was overlooked with all posts about the slowness issue in Version 3.2.

 

Bidding rooms, and displaying the other table score (see above), are my personal "must haves".

 

Ant.

 

P.s. Thanks for the landscape orientation, works very well, although it would be nice to be able to swap the chat sidebar for Scorecard.

Yeah I missed that post. Thanks for mentioning it again.

 

I am sure we will eventually make bidding tables work properly in the mobile app. Hard to predict when that might happen, but at this point in time there are no plans to do anything about bidding tables for the next release.

In the "Who's Online" list, next to the player name there should be either an icon with a pair of cards, or an icon with a TV set. Clicking on either of these will take you to their table.

 

If you tap on a player's name, one of these icons will be in the top right of the profile pop-up, and you can tap on the icon to go do their table.

I think Marc was referring to the ability to show only one hand (plus the dummy) instead of the default mode of watching all four hands.

 

Currently there is no way to do that in the mobile app. This feature will not be included in the next version, but I suspect we will add it in some future version before too long.

Fred, thanks for your answer. This is indeed what I meant.
