Mobile for Members supports many popular smartphones and tablets, including the iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, and Windows 7 Phone. Aptify uses mobile web technology, an emerging method of building "touch-optimized" mobile applications that approach the experience of native applications while avoiding the effort of building apps for each platform. Aptify plans to distribute the application as natively-installable through app stores like Apple, Blackberry, Android, and Microsoft.
As part of the "scalable UI" strategy of supporting and optimizing Aptify functionality on a number of devices and UI technologies, Aptify is planning to release two versions of the mobile application. The initial version supports smartphones with the typical single page navigation and the second version supports a two-panel navigation and content layout that is optimized for tablets.
