Freegle Mobile app

The Freegle Mobile phone app provides access to Freegle Direct (FD) groups on Android and iOS phone and tablet devices. The app is currently in development. Supported devices:

• Android 4.0+
• IOS 6+ ie iPhone 3GS onwards

The Android development build can be installed by anyone with the link; installation of apps from unknown sources must be enabled

The iOS development build can only be installed on devices which are known to the developer ie where the UDID has been provided. Use iTunes to find your UDID: http://whatsmyudid.com/ or this technique http://get.udid.io/

Current issues...

• Google and Yahoo sign in or register not implemented yet
• If you use Google or Yahoo to sign in to Freegle Direct you can create a password at https://direct.ilovefreegle.org/ using the forgot password functionality.
• The app has no settings or lost password functionality so it sends you to the web version.
