The forum & an Ipad

Doug; u should see an Apps app on your iPad; if there is one for iPad; you should be able to find it when u do a search. I just have this O Guage form as a bookmark on the Safari app!

I do not know about an app.  I just use the browser and go to the OGR Forum web site. It works well on the iPad2.

I don't have an iPad; but do have a Kindle Fire. As Winrose46 said, I just open the web browser and go to the OGR Forum. I just read the posts with the Kindle, but it is great, and the pictures show very well too. It is really handy to read the forum while in bed with the Kindle, just before falling asleep . . .

I could not find it searching the app store, but I have it on my phone.  I'll keep looking or I'll bookmark it.

Thanks

I thinks you use the same app and hit a "2X" button to make it fill most or all of the screen

Search for O Gauge Railroading magazine at the app store.  Then it will show up.  Searching for OGR or OGR magazine won't bring the app up.

If you use the iPhone app on the iPad, you need to hit the 2X button to make the app fill the iPad screen. The app isn't optimized for the iPad.  It will look like a big iPhone/iPod Touch screen.  I use the iPad safari web browser as others do and it works good.  Sometimes the pages won't load correctly.  And will need a hit to the refresh button.  Then all is fine.  The iPhone app is alright, but it doesn't load pictures for me.  So the weekend photo thread is useless on my iPod Touch 4th gen.  Ok for just reading posts.  I find myself using safari on that device as well.

It looks like there is no Ipad app only an Iphone app.  I guess I'll go 2 x or just bookmark it.

Thanks for your help.

I just bookmark the forums page.  Works just fine.

I tried the app for IPhone on the iPad, but safari works better.  Two issues, first every once in awhile the scrolling freezes where you have to refresh or rotate the ipad to unfreeze; second, you will not be able to upload photos with the new forum photo tool.  The only way to post photos with the iPad is trough photobucket.

A little known trick for quicker access to your favorite forum:  On an iPad or iPhone you can save a bookmarked page as an "app-like" icon on your home screen.  Then, just touch that icon and it automatically opens your browser and takes you to that page.

To do this, press the forwarding icon (the arrow jumping out of the square) at the bottom of your iPhone screen (or top of iPad screen) and it will ask you if you want to email, etc.  The option you want to choose is to "add to home screen".  

Timbo, thanks that works great!

Thanks for the tip Timbo. I got my wife an iPad for Christmas, and we're still learning the ins and outs of it.

M.E.C. Mike is correct.  It is a free download from the App Store.  I'm a neophyte with this IPad.  If I can do it, anyone can.
