riethub Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hi,I regular play on BBO via my PC but when i am travelling it is only possible to play on a tablet or IPhone via a Google or IPhone app. I am a full Windows user also with a tablet and Windows Phone and as far as i am informed there are no plans to provide an app for the Windows 8. Are other people interested in it, please react ...may be BBO will take some actions[/b][/size][/size]. RegardsRietHubb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegardsRietHubb As we are now in the age of HTML5, I think it's highly unlikely that BBO will be considering an app for Windows 8 or 8.1 or indeed for any other android/iThing/whatever tablet or phone.

BBO has provided an app for android/iThing and has done for some years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 BBO has provided an app for android/iThing and has done for some years now.But as we've said in other threads, we're probably not going to do another custom app. The mobile app uses Adobe AIR, which supports both Android and iOS. Unless Adobe adds support for Windows Mobile to this, we're probably not going to have anything for it any time soon. AIR has the feature that it's based on Flash (it's basically a way to run Flash applications without a browser), so the mobile app could borrow code from the web app. An HTML5 app would require starting over from scratch, rewriting everything in Javascript.

1eyedjack Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Doesn't really bother me. I have no interest in playing on anything smaller than a tablet. And if I have a tablet with Win 8, then I will have Flash and will play with the full size client. No need for separate app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i understand BBO is not alone other products neither provide something for W8 ...so it will become and IPad regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Are you sure about the tablet claim? I have a surface pro 3 and run flash all the time. It came with windows 8.1. You can download free android emulators and run android apps on your windows tablet. I tried some on the surface pro just to see if it worked. And the apps did fine, so you might want to that as a solution ad well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
