As you may know, the iOS 8/8.1 jailbreak was released. The latest version of Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS that was released at the end of September is iOS 8 ready. It is also ready for the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Once you get Cydia installed, you will be able to install Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS. It may not run after installation, so you will need to run the bwebfix script on your computer.  The script requires that you have SSH installed on your iOS device.

It's been nearly two years since I released the first version of Brandsonic Web mobile for Android. It is long overdue for an update. I actually have the next version done and ready, but I haven't released it since I don't really have a way to distribute it. I distributed the original version on the Soc.io Mall but I haven't been able to upload the next version there so that is why there hasn't been any updates. I need to find another way to distribute the app before I can release any new versions.

I finally got a new MacBook. It's a MacBook (Late 2009) to replace the Mac that I developed Brandsonic Web for the very beginning, a MacBook (Early 2008). My new MacBook can run the latest version of OS X natively and therefore the latest development tools. I can now continue development of Brandsonic Web for Mac and Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS. I am now able to update Brandsonic Web for Mac for OS X Yosemite and Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS for iOS 8. Development of these versions should be able to continue for the next few years.

From the very beginning, Brandsonic Web for Mac and Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS has been developed on my MacBook (Early 2008). Unfortunately, I may have gotten to the point where I can no longer run the latest development tools on this machine, do to the fact that it cannot run the latest OS X required to run the tools. I encountered this when Xcode 5 came out. Xcode 5 does not run on Lion and Lion is the highest version of OS X that my MacBook officially supports. I was able to run Mountain Lion on it with the incredible MLPostFactor, which allowed me to run Xcode 5. Thanks to this, I was able to update Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS for iOS 7. Apple unveiled a new version of Xcode at WWDC that will more than likely only run on OS X Yosemite. Considering I can't even run Mavericks on my MacBook there's no way I will be able to run Yosemite. Do to the high price of Macs, I cannot afford to get a new Mac anytime in the near future. Unfortunately, the future of these versions ar...

Brandsonic Web for Mac Alpha 9 (0.9) has been released. This really includes some great new features and I highly recommend that all users update. This release includes: - Support for Mac OS X 10.9 - "http://" is now added to a typed URL if it is not already there - There is now a circular progress indicator when pages are loading

It has come to my attention that the latest version of Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS does not start. I have released a small script for Mac/Linux and Windows that will fix the permission error that prevents the app from running. Download from the links below. Be sure to read the Read me first files before you try to use the script. Update 10/14/15: The bwebfix script was originally written for Brandsonic Web mobile 0.9.5, but it will work will all versions of Brandsonic Web mobile. Windows Mac/Linux

The much delayed iOS 7 update for Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS is finally finished and has been submitted to Cydia. It will be available soon for all jailbroken iOS 7 devices. It will also run on iOS 7.1 once it is jailbroken. It still runs on iOS 4.3 to 6.1 as well. This iOS 7 update is only the beginning. The next version will include more iOS 7 enhancements. I apologize for taking so long to get this update out and I hope you will think it was worth the wait. EDIT: The iOS 7 update is now available. Go update in Cydia on your Jailbroken iOS 7 device.
