After several months of hard work - we have finally finished the first version of the BiggerPockets iPhone App!

This App is going to help you stay up to date with all the best real estate investing content from BiggerPockets and will help you stay connected with the conversations that matter to you.

To download the app, simply go to the Apple App Store on your i-device and search for "BiggerPockets" OR Go to our App Landing Page OR Click Here to be redirected to the download page on the Apple Store.

Keep in mind - this is only version #1, a sort of "beta version" of the app. There are a lot of features we hope to include soon, which are not yet operational. At this point, you can:
- Read and respond to forum discussions
- Start a new thread
- @Mention users
- Check out posts in your "Subscribed Categories"
- View the latest forum threads
- Visit different forum categories
- Check out someone's mini-profile
- Visit the BiggerPockets Blog and podcast.

A few other notes:
- Visitors can view forum posts, but can't post.
- All members can read and post, but will see ads in the forum stream.
- PRO members will not see ads in the forum stream.

We'd love if you would download the App and let us know what you think. Please use this forum thread to let us know about any:

- Bugs (What's it doing?)
- Crashes (What were you doing when it crashed?)
- Ideas for Features we could incorporate
- Quirky things or ways to make it better.
- Any other thoughts.

Remember: this is only version 1 - and we will be doing many upgrades in the future, but we didn't want everyone to wait before it was perfect to get using it. Let us know what you think by commenting in this thread.

Oh, and a special thanks to our Developer Edd for all his hard work on this!

    Thanks Manuel Acuna. There isn't one pending for Android, but we'll get something together in the not too distant future.

    Is there a way to "vote", "quote", and/or tell whether or not someone is a pro member?

    Also, just FYI, the app has crashed on me twice in the last 10 minutes. Once from my phone when I was trying to read a thread, and just now from my iPad when I was trying to pull up a user's profile to see what info is made available when viewing through the app.

    There is not currently a way to do what you're asking, Kyle J.. As I mentioned, there are a lot of features missing and we will be adding new ones soon. Please bear with us as we build out the feature set.

    As for the crashes, thanks for reporting. We've been debugging for a while now, but until you put something into a production environment with lots of users, you don't always get them. Thanks for letting us know about them.

    Exciting news! I can't tell you how many times I've wished for an app for BP.

    Posting from my phone (even though I'm sitting in front of my computer).

    Jeez, Josh, just go ahead and find a way to make me spend more time on my iPad! At least I can call it working, right?

    This app is great! It's very intuitive and has been running on my iPhone 5 for about 15mins with no problems. As I am Stanton's in line at the DMV only feedback I would mention is that the scrolling is a bit choppy. Nothing critical, but in the spirit of beta.
    Awesome addition to the BP community!!!

    Thanks All . . .

    Dave Carpenter -
    That isn't something we've experienced, but we'll check it out. Otherwise, I wanted to note to everyone that as we update, we will add the option to skip ALL THE WAY to the bottom of a thread. We realize that it is a bit tough with long threads currently, but we're on it.

    I appreciate all the support guys, and do hope this app helps you get your fix when you're away from your computers.

    App is crashing on me when trying mention someone. Which really sucks because I had typed up a long message. Oh well. Happy to have the app.

    Thanks for the continued support, guys.

    Bryan H. - That does suck. Sorry, man. As I mentioned, there are some kinks that we will need to work out as people start using it. Keep letting us know what's happening as you start playing...

    On it as we speak - finally! Yay!

    I noticed there isn't a search bar to find certain topics.. I would love to see that added on the next version.

    Joshua Dorkin , we have a link to the BP blogs, how about one to BP home or is that redundant? Also, I can't see a way to monitor a topic or pop a thread out to a web page to access other features like monitor.

    According to what I am reading Android has a much larger market share than Iphone does now.

    http://venturebeat.com/2013/05/16/windows-phone-jumps-to-third-in-global-smartphone-market-share-and-could-be-second-faster-than-you-think/

    If that's the case I do not know why Android would not be a major platform in need of a BP app if a ton of users have the IOS systems.

    I think it must just be a preference thing. Some people go App crazy. I do not even know what 90% of my phone does I just make calls on it and other basic functions.

    My Samsung Galaxy S3 displays the BP website fine on it's own so I really do not need the mobile app for Android I guess. Was Iphone having regular BP website issues so an app was developed for it??

    Brian Watkins - Not yet. We'll be adding these features down the line.

    Joel Owens - Despite the popularity of Android, BP is accessed by members using iPhone FAR more than Android. We built the app to fill that demand.
