Betfair for Android vs Betfair for iPhone

Hi jpsih,

We're currently working on a new Android App and hoping to get it out before Euro 2012.

Thanks,

BF Mobile

any news?

we are almost a week before EURO 2012..

any chances to have the app any time soon?

The mobile website has the cash out feature but the refresh is very slow for me and it frequently logs me out. Is there another android app available that's any good for traders.  I tried Zoombet but it was so basic, it was nigh on pointless for me.
I've never found anything as good as Ibetmate for the iPhone but unfortunately it's not available on android.

I have used all the apps for Android and none of them are anywhere near Ibetmate.

We've updated Betfair for Android and you can download it from our mobile site touch.betfair.com or via the QR code below.

The new App is a complete redesign and has lots of new features including Cash Out, Market Graphs and Settled Bets. Please download the App and let us know what you think.

I just downloaded this.

Only looked at Greyhound Racing and Horse Racing.

Its better than before. The 2 features I wanted are there now. (amount matched on each market and book percentage)

BUT BUT BUT

after just 10 minutes I can see many many gliches/faults.

Look, seriously you guys. Before you release these updates you have to check them thoroughly to make sure they work ok.

Ill post a few examples later

ok here goes.

1. Go to horse racing-todays card.....many races are completely missing. other races are there but some markets are missing! = looks pretty random but im sure its not

2.Go to Horse Racing- GB-Newcastle (for example)

the 6.15 race is there and the 6.15 place market is there BUT the place maekets for all the other races are missing

3. Go to Greyhound Racing- Todays card-

This only displays the FIRST RACE from each meeting!!!

If you ckick on that race the runners come up. You get a small triangke (topleft)Hit this and you get adrop down menu showing all the other races fro that meeting BUT NOT THE TIMES OF THE RACE!!! - and no FC bettin option either

4 Go To Greyhound Racing- televised cards- Newcastle

Half the races are missing
The place market shows for the first race but NONE of the others
The FC betting is in a completely seperate menu

5. Book percentage

Displays only when market is in landscape NOT portrait

OK thats enough.

Look this only took me 10 minutes to find.

Why didn't you lot see these obvious errors!!!

Hi Lee,

Thanks for your feedback. We have been experiencing some issues over the weekend and our engineers are investigating this now. We will be releasing an update as soon as possible to fix the problems you've mentioned in your post.

Thanks,

Hi jpsih,

The new update is now available for download.  It is version 2.0.109. 

By the way, book percentage will continue to be displayed only in landscape mode.  We unfortunately don't have space for this in portrait mode.  Especially on smaller Android devices.  Sorry about that.

Thanks,

BF Mobile

just had a quick look.

seems u have fixed the bugs, thanks.

Will have a proper play on it in the next few days.

Incidentally if you guys look after 'touch.betfair'  which i use on my iphone (and is very good)

can you display 'amount matched' and 'book percentage' on this too. Then that would be perfect


thanks

The new betfair for android is so much better than previous versions a serious contender along with Zoombet imo
