    I personally never look at BP on my phone or the app on my phone but i just checked it and its still there it brings up the forum threads maybe BC I already had it ?

    I also couldn't find the BP app. I thought I was losing my mind a bit and wondering if it ever existed in the first place HAH. Perhaps they pulled it back to relaunch it? Curious if anyone else will have input on this....

    I’m using the app right now. Most recent blog article is from March. 😂 the good folks at BP have always struggled with Mobile.

    I don't have a need for an app because I prefer to do my internet activities on a bigger screen, but the app struggle has been real for BP since day 1. Hopefully this means they're relaunching a better version. They say they're always looking for talent, so if you're a savvy app designer, definitely reach out to them!

    I was a big user of the BP app. When I purchased a new phone and had to update and reinstall all of my apps the BP app wouldn’t update and wasn’t available in the app store. I wrote to BP customer service and they confirmed that the app doesn’t exist any longer. That said, you can still use the existing app as long as you don’t need to update it.

    @Jason Simon thanks for the reply. Yeah, it’s pretty frustrating that it doesn’t work anymore. I also got a new phone and the app wouldn’t install anymore. Hopefully they develop something again soon.

    @Nicole Heasley Beitenman that’s a great suggestion. I’m sure there are app designers out there who’d do an amazing job getting a great BP app put together.

    @Michael Breedlove  @Jay Hinrichs @Kimberly S. @RD Delgado @Max T. @Excellence Carlos @Ben Seitz @Nicole Heasley Beitenman @Jason Simon 

    BiggerPockets has removed the app from app stores. Some users who have the app installed may be able to use it, but updating your phone may result in it not working. There is currently an effort to update the web forums. That should greatly improve the mobile web experience and it creates a back-end platform to help with future app development. In other words, for now use mobile, but the app will likely come back again when it can improved. Bottom line, the app was not meeting BP quality standards in current form.

     It will not be soon, but the web updates optimized for mobile will be soon. I recommend setting up an app shortcut for the web forums. It looks just like an app and allows fast access on your phone. Not sure if you have iPhone or Android, but here is iPhone instructions:

    1. Navigate to biggerpockets.com/forms on your phone

    2. Click on the share button in the bottom of your browser. On iPhone in Safari, it is a box with an arrow pointing up.

    3. Scroll down until you see an option labeled "Add to Home Screen"

    4. This will add the BP pocket logo to your desktop and it looks just like an app. Click on it and it will open you up directly in the forums. 

    Here is what you select to add a shortcut:
