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!

    Joshua Dorkin The BP app is incredible! Not sure if it's possible, but for the Keyword Alert email which is generated I wonder if there's a way to click on a link or icon in the email to open up the thread in the BP App. That would be tight!!

    I do not have an iPhone, but news like this excites me because I am a huge fan of Bigger Pockets. Seeing an App being put out in the market is fantastic. It is a great sign of growth, stability and desire to continue to evolve.

    Eric Hettena - I'm excited about your excitement!

    Sophia Wang - You can currently click on someone's name and it will take you to a mini-profile. I'm glad you like the look/feel.

    Joshua Dorkin - sounds like having a draft auto-save feature might be a good idea to add to the "TO DO" list.

    That's a great suggestion, Steve. I'll definitely add it to the list (we need one here on the forums too -- that's coming soon, though).

    FYI, I just had this exact same problem three times in a row. Never was able to finish the message with the @mention that I was trying to type.

    Joshua Dorkin on my ipad 4 when I load all the post I could not scroll down all the way to click post reply. Not sure if it will work fine on my phone as it seems no one else is having a problem. Other then that its looking great so far. Also I think it was mentioned before but a search feature in the future would been greatly used by the masses and cut down on multiple post on the same questions.

    Very cool app..thank you! I use my Ipad quite a bit & its great to see it supported. Definitely liking the mobile solution!

    Also not sure if it has been suggested but for anyone wanting the full feature set of the desktop version of BP I've been using an app called "puffin web browser" which supports flash. Navigating menus & doing 'quick replies' with name tags is a breeze.

    Steven Del Prete - Do me a favor and check it out on your phone and let me know if you're having the same issue. If you can grab a screenshot and email it to me at josh at biggerpockets, that would be very helpful.

    As for search -- that'll be in the upcoming updates.

    Ronnie Boyd - Glad to hear it!

    Great app!

    Cannot wait for inbox features.

    inbox features is a must. As not getting messages or being able to check alerts from the app stinks :(.

    For forum interaction it works pretty well.

    @David A. - We're releasing a brand new version of the app for iOS7 in the coming day or so to Apple, and it should go live within the next week or so. We'll soon be adding push alerts and inbox as well . . . stay tuned.

    When is there going to be an BiggerPockets Android app? I am new to BiggerPockets and I would love to see an Android app to view the forums on the go.
