Sadly, iSwifter has closed shop, so no more farming with this browser.

Make an app on the apple appstore and android playstore so that you can play on the go

Hmmmm.... I wonder why nobody else has thought of that up until now.

There is an app to play on. forget the name of it. floating around her somewhere. I'm sure someone will be around to tell you what it is. But from what has been said about it. It doesn't work very well. I think I read GGS is working on it??? am I right wrong? maybe i imagined that...don't remember.

There is no app. You can download a flash-enabled browser for your smartphone/tablet/etc and play the game from that browser. Will NOT work for Kindle, however.

Yes I totally agree!!! There's an app for Empire but not Big farm....why??? My computer broke down & I wasn't able to access the game until I bought a new computer. I have an Android tablet but I couldn't get the game to work. I downloaded different browsers with flash but they would only work for a minute then freeze up. So I hope GGS will make an app for BF so everyone can conveniently access the game.

I have my tablet Jellybean which is a android. But what browser should I use so it has a flash-enabled browser? Because I'd rather play on that.

[784506] Prince Krishna2 [None] :: May 8, 2014, 5:23 a.m.
you can play from flash browsers in playstore
try puffin browser

Puffin browser? All I have access to is like Google chrome, or just a regular browser.

[784508] Prince Krishna2 [None] :: May 8, 2014, 5:35 a.m.
you can download puffin browser from playstore
flash will only work from 10 am to 4 pm everyday your local time

I use Puffin on an android tablet (nexus 7) and android phone (nexus 5) to play Big Farm. The Photon Browser works too, but I prefer Puffin.

And it works 24/7 for me

Both have free, ad supported versions, or inexpensive ad free ones

iSwifter seems to be the favourite for iPad and iPhone but there are others too including an iOS version of Puffin

Kindles are Android based with their own proprietary variation. There was a version of Photon for Kindle but it was withdrawn. How ever there is this information on the Amazon Forums

Yes! it works.
Thanks for the tip, Puffin works fine on my tablet samsung galaxy.
But i am still waiting for the bigfarm app ; )

It's certainly not ideal, and I wouldn't change to always be playing that way. But if my co-op is doing the milk or apple project for instance it may mean I can get an extra collection in.

Take extra care near gold spending buttons, and don't even think about trying to start a new build. Placing it is a nightmare!!

Many months ago nafaru did say one would be developed but it would be like the Empire one. That is you can play Big Farm but it would be a different farm, not the same one. Like being on a different server.

I just tried Puffin browser.Did not like my wifi? Kept disconnecting. My 3g data connection fine but that costs extra so playing on phone not for me I hate paying for same goods twice

[784622] XGN EASTS1DE (US1) [None] :: May 8, 2014, 2:12 p.m.
with me, it says an error code 919. Bet it's my connection. But I'all have to try it again sometime.

I have installed flashfox. But when I connect to bigfarm, it asks me to get flash. Do I need to start a flash session like in photon?

Hi, want to bring this back up to the makers of Big Farm. Could you make a phone app so that if a player is at work or school (college) they can access their farm.

[794783] rhon (GB1) [GB1] :: June 29, 2014, 4:27 p.m.
You can play Big Farm on your tablet or phone but not with their native browsers as they don't support Flash

Android
I use Puffin on an android tablet (nexus 7) and android phone (nexus 5) to play Big Farm. The Photon Browser works too, but I prefer Puffin.

Both have free, ad supported versions, or inexpensive ad free ones

iOS (iPhones or iPad)

When signing in from your phone or tablet, or any new or strange computer, you need to choose your server from the flag menu at the bottom of the log in screen

yea i'm actually for this idea, if not coding bigfarm into html5 instead of flash, since flash is hardly supported on any mobile device. I know this'll be really tough on the dev team, but I do hope they're considering it.

those browsers that samty suggested are really a pain to use imo, but they're my last resort when i'm on the go;/
