Pull up BYC in your web browser on your phone. If you see the desktop version of the site and not the mobile version, go to the bottom of the page and click the "Mobile" button at the very bottom.
We're looking into this, thanks for letting us know!
Outside of the app, can you (or anybody else with OS 9) test uploading pics from the mobile version of the site in their browser?
Thanks! We're digging into it and can hopefully find the bug. It's isolated to our app and not the mobile site in the browser.
Also, an app for Android would be great if it would be in demand!
Open your web browser (probably Safari) on your iPad and then go to www.BackYardChickens.com
You should automatically get the mobile version of the site. If not, there is a button at the very bottom of the site for "Mobile / Desktop".
We unfortunately haven't been able to figure out why the screen isn't rotating in our app. The good news is that it does rotate when you use your mobile browser to access the site, and the user experience is pretty much exactly the same.
Try this: visit BYC via your web browser on your phone, login, and scroll to the bottom of the screen. You should be able to change the desktop / mobile setting and then it should be remembered moving forward.
Right now the app is only for iOS devices. If we see that it is received well we may develop for Android as well. Until then, make sure you try the mobile version of BYC which should work just as well on your Android device:
Thanks for the feedback!
We've had a mobile version of BYC for...
A few months ago we released a new mobile version of BYC that makes browsing and posting a breeze. We also received a bunch of requests for a BYC app, so after a bit of tinkering we've got a beta version of the new BYC App for iPhone & iPad
This is a free download you can get here!
