Project Bubble Goes Mobile!

We are very excited to announce the launch of the Project Bubble mobile site (cue big fanfare music)! You can now run Project Bubble on your favorite mobile browsers including the iPad.
It's been a long time coming but we're excited to announce the launch of the Project Bubble mobile site. When you log in with iPhone, Android or iPad your user experience will be optimized for the mobile view. Everything will look slicker and work much better (and faster) for mobiles.
New Mobile Timer
As part of the new mobile updates and as a result of our new offline time tracking update, we are also excited to announce the launch of our new mobile timer. Start time tracking, go offline, come back and stop timing - your time will be saved and a new entry created which you can edit at any time.
The timer works on iPhone, Android and iPad and is designed to be really straight forward with no bells or whistles. Just select your task and click Start, it couldn't be easier.
Mobile Site Switcher
If for any reason you want to get access to features that are not on the mobile site, just click the options cog and then click on Non-mobile Site and you'll get to the original site.
We are still improving the mobile site so your feedback is always welcome.
iPhone and iPad Apps
If you are looking for a native iPhone or iPad app you don't need one with the new mobile site. Simply go to your subdomain, then create a link to your Home screen and you can get to your Bubble quickly and easily without the need for installing an app.
We hope you enjoy the updates!

Really love the new mobile version. Looks great on my Galaxy S2. Now I can get rid of the other timer app I am using.

So excited about this new feature. I tried it on my iPod Touch and the site navigation was great but the timer page was not working. Would that be a limitation to the iPod?

Hi Robert,
No it should work but we haven't tested on the iPod Touch. What iOS are you using? Do you want to contact by clicking the Contact link in the footer and get in touch with us with more details and we'll see what we can do. We've just had a few bugs reported this afternoon/evening which we've been fixing mostly to do with issues when running the site from the Home page (as an app). Most of these have now been fixed so it might be worth trying again.

Realy, really nice job Stu and team! Thank you very much. I already love using Ptoject Bubble and will now love it even more!

Wow, this really is a holiday gift, Stu!
Now, is there a url or other way to force a browser to use the mobile version like the one you have under the options cog in the mobile version to force non-mobile? When I visit the site in my phone's default browser the new mobile version comes up, but my Firefox for Android and Opera Mobile still show the normal version. (Opera Mini shows the mobile version though.)

What is the url for the mobile site?
The bookmark on my android does not work any longer and I'm also wanting to (possibly) use the url in an iframe on my igoogle website and other places (internal SharePoint site).
What is the url for the mobile site?
THANKS!

Hi John
There is no URL, just go to your subdomain and the system will automatically detect your device.
