Betfair for the iPad
Posted by Peter Webb in Bet Angel on August 12th, 2010
I see Betfair have launched an iPad app. I quickly downloaded it but there isn’t a great deal to it at the moment, so don’t rush.
As the iPad has a much bigger screen it is possible to log in and operate via the Betfair web site which works pretty well, thought the username and password entry can be a pain. Simple additions like viewing my P&L for the day would make this app useful but that’s not available, just an account balance etc, the same as on the iPhone app. Also, like the iPhone, it uses the battery hungry location services to make sure you are betting from a legal territory, this is a real pain. Unless Betfair improve this app, I don’t really see it being of great use to me at the moment.
However, If you are interested in downloading it here is the link: -

Bet Angel on the iPad
Posted by Peter Webb in Bet Angel on May 28th, 2010
Today saw the launch of the iPad so following my rule of ‘If it’s a gadget, new or takes two batteries’ I just had to get one. The first thing I did was put Bet Angel on it to have a play, you can see the video by clicking on this link. Bet Angel isn’t a native application on the iPad, but it is possible to get it running on it if you use the server addition of Bet Angel. I’m now going to have a busy weekend playing on the iPad itself and another new gadget that arrived from the US this morning, more on that when I have got it working properly.
Betfair have an iPhone application, but it’s a bit limited. Hopefully a better iPad app will follow.
