Personally I am not on my laptop enough to reply here and think I'd love it if Bigger Pockets had an app.

Curious, if they made one would YOU download it?

Possibly Apple only.  I'm seeing nothing available for my Samsung.  And yes, I'd use it.

Ps. My BP access…

97% iPad safari browser

2% pc explorer browser

1% the app.

It’s just not. Good as the website.

@Chris B. There is, or more accurately was, and android app. I'm writing this post in it now. The last thing I had read said they had pulled it from the app stores for a redesign, but that has been a while ago.

@Brandon Elliott

I confused... I go on BP via the phone version about 98% of the time. I have a Samsung Galaxy 7.

Am I missing something?

Are you asking if they created a new app or come up with future specific apps for phones?

No, I would not - too tedious for me to work on a phone screen

Why specifically do you want an app versus just using the website?

We had an app. It didn’t see much traffic and got middling reviews. Maintaining two mobile apps costs much more than maintaining one website.

Keep asking LOUDLY, and get more people to sign up for Pro, promise us that you’ll leave us good (honest) review, and we will probably do it again.

 Sounds like they need to work on the apps integrations. I so look forward to the day when we can have this type of connectivity and ease on a cell phone app! :-D

 Maybe there is a app for android users? I have an Iphone and can't find an app anywhere. I can go online via safari but I mainly use this platform on a laptop and I was asking here to see if there is an app and I just can't find it... (sounds like a droid thing lol)

 Yea that is what I am hearing as well. And I can say, at least at the time of this writing, there isn't an app for Iphones at this time.

I don’t know when I downloaded it, years ago. But it’s being updated. It shows 3 different podcast shows (real estate, money and, business) terms of service are dated May 2023.


it just doesn’t look/perform better/different than website. 

except maybe the forum posting doesn’t have this weird glitch when hitting return twice for a new paragraph it goes up a line, or several instead of adding one. Making me put the extra period on blank screens.

I’ve been using the app for at least a few years on my iPhone.

@Brandon Elliott They did have an app. I’m on it. They just don’t have it in the stores anymore or support for it any longer.
