OVF has a number of ways for users with mobile devices…
Android Users
Unfortunately, our branded app was removed from the Google Play store due to changes brought in by Google as Google claimed our app breached several of their developer’s rules. We have now removed it due to the high costs of constantly altering it to Google’s draconian rules and also because there are still alternative options for accessing OVF on your mobile. We are sorry for any inconvenience and you may want to let Google know your thoughts on this.
You still have three ways to access this website.
1. Our built-in forum app.
When you visit the forum on a phone you should get a prompt to install the web app. This will install an icon onto your phone screen allowing you quick and easy access to the app. If you missed the prompt or accidentally closed it, you can install the app from most mobile browsers. Select “Install App” from the browser settings. The options for the Chrome browser are shown below (other browsers will have similar options):
2. Access OVF on Tapatalk
You can also access our forum through the popular Tapatalk application. Install Tapatalk and once installed search for “OVF” to locate the forum and log on with your usual log-in credentials.
3. Access OVF via a mobile browser
We continue to make our site as mobile-friendly as possible and it should display correctly on most, if not all, mobile browsers. You can log on to the forum and read / make posts.
Apple users
Unfortunately, our branded app was removed from the Apple App store due to changes brought in by Apple which required us to pay a significant annual “developer’s” fee to keep the app in the store. The number of Apple users using our app did not justify the high costs of maintaining it especially as there are two other ways to access OVF on your phone (see below). We are sorry for any inconvenience and you may want to let Apple know your thoughts on this.
