that great , so please. Bricklink create a phone app of Bricklink , it would
be easier for phone users.

It's still a work in progress I think and it will be released at some point
when Bricklink feels like it.

But until they will add payment methods other than PayPal it's just a gimmic
to me, I am opting out for it and so are some other sellers. Of the remaining
sellers, only a small portion has Instant Checkout, so there is no real reason
using the Bricklink app if you get 10x as many results using a computer. To me
that's easily worth navigating a non mobile friendly Bricklink for.

So I guess the answer is, nope, "proper" Bricklink is not going to be mobile
friendly.

Voted no as this has supposedly been in development since the new owners took
over - there might be a version that will work on the phone with Bricklink XP
which is also under development, but that is not clear yet either.

According to the admins no development on the classic site is going on whilst
XP is being worked on and MP, the head of development said in his Brickwworld
presentation the future is XP, although the classic site will be maintained.

A responsive design website would be just as good. It would work with any device
and browser. No need to maintain a separate application.

This is a great idea! I personally use my phone for shopping and that would make
it much easier for me!
