The Forest City Yearling Sale is pleased to announce that the Forest City Sale 2013 App version 1.0 is now available in the Apple App Store.
The sale company commissioned Jim Gillies of Lambeth Desktop and Carson Perrotti to develop the app. "Our main goal was to make the app simple to navigate and easy to use for the prospective yearling buyer. We think it is going to be very popular." said sale manager Ann Straatman.
The app contains the complete sale catalogue of pedigree PDFs and links to all yearling videos that have been added to the Forest City Sale website. An internet connection is required to download the pedigrees and automatically check for updated PDFs as well as recently added videos. With the app, users can search by Hip, Name, Sire, or Consignor. Search results can then be sorted.
Users of the app can define their own lists of horses to inspect, edit selection criteria, rate conformation, size, and video. As well, they can make notes on a yearling, give an overall star rating, highlight text and email annotated pedigrees. Currently, the app is only available for iPad users.
The Forest City Sale 2013 app is available for free at the iTunes App Store or by following the links at the website. The Forest City Yearling Sale will be held November 16 and 17 at the Western Fair District in London, Ont.
