BoonEx Mobile Apps for Dolphin are the most advanced and expandable mobile community software platforms in the world. We treat mobile devices as an inevitable evolution of computers in general and native apps are currently the best way to reach mobile users.
BoonEx iPhone and Andoid app are not just native applications though. Both now have an incresingly powerful support of 3-rd party modules and we're happy to see some developers already offering mobile modules for them. We are at the door of the new realm and BoonEx Mobile apps help you to be ready for the upcoming changes.
Remember, that when you have Prime license you also get a Mobile License that allows you to rebrand, modify both apps and submit them to app stores as your own.
Today, we're releasing important updates, improving the apps and making it easier for external developers to add new features.

- iOS5 support
- Splash/loading screen

Both apps are still quite young and surely miss many features of the desktop version of Dolphin sites, but a lot is already there, a lot more is coming and it won't be long before they become a full-blown susbtitute to many full-size sites.
