SJ just completed the ShortWingPipers.org app for the Android operating system. You can download it here.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapatalk.shortwingpipersorgforum
I find it easier to download photos straight from my phone and it is pretty easy to navigate although a bit different than the regular website.
The Apple users will have a little wait (could be up to 30 days) as Apple has to approve the app before it goes live.
Gotta thank SJ for keeping us up o all the latest technology. :)

And we have a ShortWingPipers.org app in the Apple store now as well. Let us know what you think.

I just installed the Apple version and it looks like its going to be really nice. I previously had to log in every time i visited the site on my phone due to an issue with the check box to stay logged in. Thanks SJ for the app.

I have just downloaded the Andriod app onto my Samsung S3 smartphone.
I clicked on the section to login and entered my login name and password.
However, there isn't any "button" to click on to "send" my credentials.
So I currently can't login.

Hmm, worked on my Samsung Note 3. Try clicking on the three lines in the upper left hand corner. That brings up another menu for logging in or out.

I tried that method of logging in but still no way of "sending" credentials. See screenshot of what I see on my phone.

You might try deleting the app and reinstalling it. It is using the Tapatalk application.

Hi SJ,
I deleted the app this morning and re-installed it (version 7.1.1).
Unfortunately, still the same issue with no Log In "button" displayed.
Maybe your app only works with more recent versions of Android?

Hmm, I am using Android version 5.0. You have the latest ShortWingPipers.org version. Maybe SJ has an idea.

Tony, how old IS your android op system? Lot's of apps won't work if it is old enough.

Circa 1948!!!!
My Samsung S3 is approx. 4 years old and will be replaced in the next few months. It is running Android version 4.3.
FYI, my wife has a much more recent Samsung and the app works fine with the Login "button" displayed okay.
So, as you say, some kind of incompatibility with non-recent versions of Android.

Mine is a little over 4 years old but running the 5.0 software I guess is the difference.

Although I can't log in due to issues mentioned I still have the app loaded.
Perhaps once per week I get notification of a single new post and my phone's LED light flashes green.
Can't figure why just one notification of one post so infrequently.
When I check the website I see many more new posts.
What triggers the app's notification and LED illumination?

I'm having issues seeing posted pictures. Not sure why. I thought it was pictures posted by others via the app but I can see all of them posted within this thread - posted with/without the app.
For instance in the thread about the master switch I can see almost all of the pictures except for a few (from Justin) that happen to be posted via the app. In place of the picture I see an icon that looks like a piece of paper torn in half. However when I'm looking at the list of unread threads I can see the pictures sometimes. Just very strange.

What is/are the advantages of using an app verse a browser? I always use a browser when online banking instead of apps, I've read of people having debit card fraud after installing a banking app and using it, so I steer away from apps.

I didn't see any pictures in the rivet thread. There is a discussion about the B17 in Lou's avatar. The master switch thread had some very small unreadable pictures posted and I could see that it was a picture but that was about it. If you can provide links to pictures you can not see I will look into it further.

On IPad using safari IOS version 11.02 and older.
There is no button to load image after you have selected an image.
Such as
http://www.shortwingpipers.org/photopost/data/500/medium/D97A7994-DB63-4EBC-8A83-F8EBE5F422CD.png
You see I have selected an image but there is no way to upload it.
Now if the image is a link there is an “OK” button to upload the image.

I hit the "Upload File(s)" and it uploads the picture. Has always worked that way for me. Easier in the App.

Just got word if you download the new version of the android app it fixes the problem. I have not tested it yet, but the app is in the app store.

Great, thanks. When I click an email notification with my phone setbas the ap for my default for ShortWingPipers.org it goes to the first post in the thread instead of the latest but when I have Chrome set as the default it goes to the last unread post. Do I have a setting off or something?

Noticed more of the 'broken link' type attachments popping up again. Specifically in the thread about the RV baffles where Steve posted some attachment about the baffle rod.
Just wondering if it's just me or if others are seeing it.

Is anyone experiencing issues with the ShortWingPipers.org iPhone App? I updated my phone last week and now whenever I open the app it crashes. The same thing happened with the SuperCub.org app. I deleted the SuperCub.org app and then reloaded it from the app store. That seems to have fixed that issue. I was going to do the same thing with the ShortWingPipers.org app, but it is not showing up in the apple app store anymore. Thanks
