Hi,
I am looking for the app in the apple store, but I can't find it. Is it available for Iphones? What name should I search for the app?
Thanks

As far as I'm aware there is no BGA App for any mobile platform.
I have "added BGA to my home screen" on my Android phone, but this isn't a real native app, it's basically just a convenient shortcut to open the BGA website, it doesn't do anything that going to BGA in your browser doesn't do.

Cool, thanks - haven't heard anything about that. Although the screenshot do look just like the website.
Seems to be "early access" only - yet has somehow still had 100k downloads (surely way more than BGA's currently active player base). Weird. Might try installing that when it's not nearly 2am and I've got some time!

Last time I checked, Progressive Web Apps / Trusted Web Access were still not officially supported by Apple for iOS, but it seems that some workarounds might still allow to bundle BGA as an iOS app so we may look into this sometime (but as explained in the post linked above, the app would be just a container, it would still be the BGA website running under the hood).
