Team-BHP App for your Android Phone & Tablet

GTO · 11th May 2011, 10:53

Thanks guys, We're glad that all of you love the Android App.

First, there are a lot of Q's on supporting other platforms (Bada OS, WinMo, Blackberry etc.). While I'm not ruling them out just yet, I will add that there are few developers offering expertise / support for these platforms. Those forum apps that are available for WinMo & Nokia are very bare, basic & buggy versions...something we'll never go near. Of the three, there is a possibility that a Blackberry app will be made available in a quarter or two. But again, no commitments.

In the meanwhile, enjoy the Android & Apple Apps! If you are on another phone, SWITCH OVER.

Why bother with free limited access apps, when the fully functional Team-BHP app is free?

Sorry, no plans for a chat window, shoutbox or messenger. We prefer all information exchange to take place on the public forum only. That way, others also benefit from the information that has been shared.

You know how we hate clutter! The mobile signatures (that show up over & above your regular forum signatures) have been deactivated.

Right here. And please do help us improve the App.

I'd never install an App that requires Members to pay for the full version.

I'm pretty sure this feature is already present. Let me double-check.

Noted. In the meanwhile, use your task manager to kill apps you don't want active.

That way we don't have to log out everytime when exiting.

Hey, I can close the app on my Tab without logging out; it remembers the username and password whenever I log in next.

Vodafone's 3G service, atleast in Bombay, is pretty good.

I am sorry, I should have written it correctly,

it does remember the login id and password everytime I open the app. Just that , have to press the back button 'n' times to exit the app. An exit button like that on the Dolphin HD browser would help greatly.
Have mentioned the same in review on Android market website.

But can't be it like when you post from mobile then only the mobile signature shows up and the regular signature appears everytime otherwise? Just curious.

EDIT: It's working great on the regular Vodafone Edge network here.

Congrats & Thanks to GTo and rest of the team responsible for app.

a few days back I was thinking of writing to GTO for enabling forum access for apps like Tapatalk , or to have a native app for Blackberry and Android. The PM was wish come true. I believe that the app will save time I spend at home for reading posts as I can do it in free time like waiting for food , travelling and get more quality time at home and also not to forget can post member spottings imeediately.

karizma9292 · 11th May 2011, 11:20

Awesome , im right away downloading it to my phone .Thank you team-bhp

Puneet.S · 11th May 2011, 13:47

Working flawlessly on HTC Desire running Gingerbread, many thanks for this handy app!

bullock-Car · 11th May 2011, 14:07

Thank you GTO
One more reason to divorce PC and laptop. Can court Team-bhp furtively without suspicion.

adityadeva · 11th May 2011, 14:21

This is awesome, great work and great commitment to this cause.

aman9393 · 11th May 2011, 15:09

Excellent app team!!
The app is looking great even on my tablet.:-)

xander · 11th May 2011, 16:11

This is just awesome. I have installed the apps on my xperia as well as ipod touch. Hats off to the developers and product team.

rex_varghese · 11th May 2011, 18:36

Great!

This morning, sitting at a car service station, I was browsing team-bhp on my Milestone, wondering when will an App come by. And, later in the day, I logged in from my laptop and I see the PM announcing the App (yes, I was away from team-bhp for sometime).

Thanks to the team for making this available!!!

Regards
Rex

I just checked too and it seems this isn't present. Noted as a possible add-on! Thanks.

What do you mean by "send updates for subscribed threads to FB". Where would they show up on FB? In your feed? From whom?

It sounds like you're asking for something different than sharing / liking a thread via the app?

Fordmanchau - why wouldn't you just press the HOME button?

Well what about something for Nokia users?

Is it on way or team-bhp is saying goodbye to Nokia as well.

Rehaan · 11th May 2011, 19:22

^ Please read GTO's reply above, regarding other platforms.

Because pressing the home button will still keep the app running in the background. Therefore, wanted an Exit button. So that it closes the app at one go when required.

Posting from my Nexus one. Great work!!

One observation... the red color looks a bit too strong.
