New Betfair iPhone app on its way!


Got a call from a Betfair rep wanting to talk about the site, markets etc (and trying to flog me on the casino and poker - no thanks....), he asked me what I'd like improving. I think the iPhone Betfair site, whilst a good idea in principle, it's a little off in execution. It's quite slow and seems to forget your login details quite quickly. I asked him about the possibility of a Betfair app and he said that there is one literally a few weeks away. I did say that I'd really like to have the 'max payout' link in the app, something which the mini site and the old Java app doesn't have. It's very useful for trading out of a market - as you well know and saves the number crunching.

What an awesome job that would be, working on a Betfair app for the iPhone! I keep up to date with the app store so maybe I'll post a review when it comes out.

  1. I'm pleased to say that this is released. It's not bad for a first version. The one stand-out thing about it is the speed and reliability, I've been thrashing it for over a week now and it's been super fast, especially on my WiFi. The other good thing is that it hasn't crashed once, which given the use I've given it is quite a surprise. C'mon Betfair more features please!!
