Is There A Google App For Answerbank?

[Mr-H]

Well ......?

[ChuckFickens]

No.

[Mr-H]

OK, thanks. End of that then!!

[AB Editor]

Do you mean for Chrome or for Android?

[Mr-H]

Sorry - I did mean android, but my pad is being returned to the Shopping Channel whence it came because it didn't live up to my expectations. However, for the future, the question still holds good, as does the same question regarding Apple products please.

[AB Editor]

we have m.theanswerbank.co.uk - which is our first stab at a mobile site. No app yet though!

The mobile site works very well on my Blackberry - has its own icon on my home screen, just like an app.

You can save Answerbank to your homescreen and a icon will appear. Though AB was designed before Tablets became popular, AB works very well on an iPad.

[Mr-H]

Thanks Grommitt. Could you perhaps talk me through stage by stage please? I am totally unfamiliar with iPad (which my wife has).

[Gromit]

When you open a page in Safari you will see a symbol fourth in at the top. It is a box with an arrow trying to escape out of it. Press that and you will see a number of options, one of which is to add as bookmark. Or 'Save to homescreen' which will drop an icon onto your homepage which is a shortcut for opening that website.

[Mr-H]

Thanks for that. When I can get on her iPad I'll have a go!

[Gromit]

If you log in to AB and then bookmark you will not need to log in each time.

I google Ab on iphone & am always recognised, not having to log in; must be cookies ?

[starone]

Duh! What's an app? (Still learning!!)

[tamborine]

an App is an icon shortcut to a website, Starby x

Er no, an app is a piece of software written to do a specific task or tasks, most often used nowadays to refer to such things written for use on smartphones and the like. So Angry Birds is a game app to allow you to play the Angry Birds game, Safari on the ipad is a web browsing app.
