Is there any news on the "news" ?
|
|
By:
Between Betacular and Zoombet totally sad that there is no updates.. If the put time into the apps people would pay for them, but its seems they dont care less.
Betdroid is the way forward, on the ball for any suggestions. http://www.bet-droid.com/ |

Hove,
No news on the news yet - due to matters outside of our control... Regards, ZoomBet Betfair Team |

2 more weeks on...no news on the "news" and no program updates for what seems like ages!
 |

By:
Great app. Nice and fast and means I can bet at work
 |

By:
Another 3 weeks on from my last "2 weeks on..." without any reply or update on the "news" or any other updates...
 |
|
By:
Now it's been 3 months since the last "no news yet"
I sincerely hope the project has not been suspended as it had so much promise.  |

Hello Hove,
The project has not been suspended but there have been some unexpected setbacks in getting the latest updates out. Apologies for that - unfortunately currently there is no realistic estimate when the new features will be available. :/ Regards, ZoomBet Betfair Team |

Love this app but Market depth one-click betting and a default stake option and it would be AWESOME!!

Finding it hard to get on with the app. I appreciate that it's free but I'd rather pay for it, if it does what I need. How come it is free anyway?
A few questions/suggestions: Is it possible to see the most recent matched bet first (would seem logical) or to seperate unmatched and matched? Can I see profit and loss by market. A long list of results is not very helpful when I might have up to 50 bets on a single event. The landscape option for market depth is essential. Any chance of a double tap on a selection bringing up a history graph, like it does on iBetmate for iPhone? Up-down arrows for bet editing would be very useful, when you just want to ammend a bet by a couple of ticks. Can someone tell me why, on a market page, one price is in green and the rest are in white? Also, as of today, I can't even find the app in the store. I'd like to update my comments. |

By:
Just realised that you can't even edit an unmatched bet. You have to cancel it and submit a new one.

Just noticed there's a service notice at the top of the menu option that says "this service will be closed from the 10th June 2012"? Does this mean it won't work from then on? Confused....

I noticed that aswell tenchris looks like it's finishing,which i'm pissed off about i loved Zoombet
|
|
By:
Any other apps that are similar? Looking for an app that doesn't support Australian Markets as Zoombet didn't.
How can an app not work anymore? Is Zoombet paying for a server? I though Zoombet just accessed information from betfair. |
|
By:
Gutted to be losing this service.Need a replacement if anyone has any recommendations?
|
|
By:
If Zoombet is ending then it's a tragedy. Any alternatives please folks?
|
|
By:
Also gutted at losing zoombet. Always found it the fastest and most reliable program for Betfair.
|
|
By:
I've sent an email to the Zoombet guys... If it's server costs I've put it to them that it can be covered... Hopefully a reply comes soon.

Just got this email.... seems like nothing can be done. :(
Thanks for your mail. ZoomBet is a 3rd party application (developed within terms of Betfair Developers Program) that, until now, has been supported by small and passionate team ensuring that experience of the service remains excellent. Although we would have preferred to continue and focus on adding new features and improvements to ZoomBet unfortunately currently there is no way to cover the time and costs incurred to keep service available for general use forcing us to make a decision to shut down the service. This has been caused in part due to the growing popularity (and increasing load on the backend systems) and due to the expiry of commercial agreement with Betfair that was supporting the service maintenance and development up to the end of April 2012. Although the paid-for model is something we have considered, we don't think that it would be practical to implement while keeping the costs for customers reasonable. Although it’s unlikely, we hope it will be possible to make service publicly available again in which case we will make appropriate announcements in Betfair Community – Betfair Mobile forums. Thanks for your support, ZoomBet Betfair Team |

I'd definitely pay for Zoombet or something similar.
|
|
By:
Betfair should put the developers on the payroll instead of pratting around with their useless Android app.

Now is your time to put your money where your mouth is and donate. Zoombet have put off their decision to close and is now accepting donations. Please donate for the software you use to win on Betfair and make it impossible for the developers to consider closing. Come on, you know Zoombet is the best program, now's the chance to show it.

By:
I have not tried these, but here's a few to try

By:
I hope that everyone that has ever used & likes Zoombet has made their donation if they want to see this fantastic app continue freely...server costs are on-going & not cheap!
 I've made my donation as I'd be lost without the app, and I'd recommend everyone else does the same, or they may just lose out.  Just pretend you've backed a loser, but instead donate maybe £20/£30+ etc...  |
|
By:
Still think this is the best mobile app. for soccer/tennis betting. Hope they keep it going. My donation sent.

Zoombet is aptly named. I'd have been gutted if the developers had pulled this from the market. I've an HTC Desire and have probably been using the app for the last year. For the last 8 months I've been without a pc and Zoombet has been invaluable.
Those of you asking for market depth etc are missing the point. This is an app obviously designed for speed with a slick interface. Superb for betting in running with the ability to all green or square off your losses in two clicks. If I'm out and have a mobile signal or home and have access to my wi-fi this is the best betfair app for for me. I'd go so far as to say its the quickest betting app that I use including all the bookies' apps. Definitely quality not quantity with Zoombet. I have just made an overdue donation and like the forumites above would encourage other users to do the same. [JJ:happy:] |

App bein done away with at the end of the month apparently
|

Such a shame if it's true......I just had an e-mail from Betfair telling me that several apps incl Zoombet are being retired in a few weeks.
Now if only I could get hold of Karlis Zigurs (the author) to find out the real story.....  He doesn't seem to be answering any e-mails or maybe has simply changed his e-mail addresses? I have to hope he may still read the Betfair forum & respond here or directly to me by PM etc...? |
|
By:
They will retire on the 10th.
There's Traderline for Android which runs on the new API NG: http://www.traderlinemobile.com/download.html |
|
By:
Has Betacular gone as well as it's still there but no market prices. Looked at Traderline and not in the same class and you gotta pay for it after 3 months.....why does Betfair continually destroy there product?
|
|
By:
So Zoombet gone. Betfair - you are crettings.
Can't find any app that comes close to it |
|
By:
Zoombet was the best by a country mile.That signals the end of my betting with Betfair!
|
|
By:
Betfair sent me an email saing is was the Developers decision not to use the product after their new API upgrade. Hmmmm. headscratch
