• A homepage focused on you — We’re removing the banner ad from the app’s homepage and displaying only mobile-supported products that you own.
• Universal navigation — You can access the app’s navigation menu from nearly all pages. You’ll easily recognize the navigation menu from the standard “three bar” icon.

Look for similar changes to the Android™ app in the future. For information on installing the Go Daddy Mobile iPhone app, click here.

What’s next: We’re working on implementing PUSH messaging in our Go Daddy Mobile app for both Android and iOS devices. This lets you receive new email and domain auction notifications to your mobile devices as they occur.

Unfortunately, we can’t respond there so we’ve collected the most representative of your questions, and answered them below. If you’ve got your own feedback, feel free to leave a comment here or start a thread in our forum. (Remember, if you’re having trouble, we have world-class phone and email support standing by.)

Email

Q: Does the Go Daddy Mobile App provide notifications when I received a new email?
A: Yes. On Android, you can change your settings by tapping the menu button on your phone, selecting account settings, and then checking Vibrate on new message. On iOS, tap the Account button on the top right, open your settings, and then tap Vibrate on new message.

Q: Does the Go Daddy Mobile App let you add a custom signature to the bottom of emails?
A: Yes. On Android, you can add your customer signature by tapping the menu button on your phone, selecting account settings and checking Auto-insert Signature. On iOS, tap the Account button on the top right, open your settings, and then tap Auto-Insert Signature.

Q: Can I create folders in my Email using the Go Daddy Mobile App?
A: Not at this time.

Q: Can I add multiple email accounts?
A: Yes. On Android, from the Account Settings screen, at the top right tap Change . On iOS, tap the Account button in the top-right corner (it looks like contact cards) and then tap Change in the window that displays. Remember to select Keep me logged in.

Q: Is there an easier way to purge the deleted messages?
A: We are working to have a purge function added to the Folders view for both Bulk Mail and Trash. In the meantime, you can select all messages by tapping the circle next to the Folder Name.

Q: Is there an easy way switch between email accounts?
A: From the message list screen, tap the Account icon in the upper-right corner account screen, and then tap Change. Your accounts display here. Remember, to save your information, you have to select Keep me logged in for each account you want saved.

Q: Where did the email forward button go?
A: If you tap Reply at the bottom of the screen, an option displays to either reply to or forward the message.

Q: Where did the buttons at the bottom of the inbox go?
A: The buttons you are looking for aren’t gone. They’re just hidden until a message is selected. After you tap on a message, you will see Reply, Move, Delete and more.

Q: Can I see the unread emails for each account in the account switching screen?
A: Please look for this feature in a future release.

Q: Why doesn’t the App return to the inbox after deleting a message?
A: We may include that preference in a future release. Alternatively, you can select a message from the inbox and delete the message using the trash can at the lower right.

Q: Why are the links in my emails inactive?
A: If an incoming email contains a hyperlink, it will display as an active link.

Q: How can I access my contacts from the Go Daddy App?
A: Click on the account button at the top-right of the App. From here you can access the contacts on your device. Alternately, you can click the plus symbol (+), to the right of the contact field, to add contacts from your email account or from your device.

Account Management

Q: Does the Go Daddy Mobile App integrate with Online File Folder® and Calendar?

A: Yes. On Android, you can access your Calendar from the Menu button when you are in the Go Daddy Mobile App. Tap Account Settings, and then tap Calendar. Online File Folder is coming in a future release. On iOS, you can access Calendar and Online File Folder by tapping Account, at the top-right corner of the message list screen.

Q: Why does the Go Daddy Mobile App on Android need additional permissions?
A: For the Go Daddy Mobile App to access the contacts on your phone, you must grant permissions to do so. We never use these permissions for marketing or otherwise. For more information, please see the App description in the Market.

Q: Why do I keep getting logged out of my account?
A: Be sure to select Keep me logged in when you enter your user name and password for each account where you want to remain logged in.

Q: Can I add new or alias domains to my hosting account?
A: You can add sub domains but not alias domains at this time.

Q: Can I mark renewal messages as “read” once viewed?
A: Sorry, but not at this time.

Q: Why isn’t voiceover control recognizing all items.
A: We apologize for any inconvenience caused and any unfavorable experience that may have occurred. We’re working to improve voiceover controls functionality with our iOS application. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.<

Domains

Q: Why is my domain search history deleted when the App closes?
A: This will be fixed in the next release.

Requested Features

Q: Why doesn’t the app auto-populate when adding contacts to email?
A: Thank you for the suggestion. This has been passed on to the appropriate parties for consideration.

Q: Why can’t I click a phone number in an email and have my phone call it automatically?
A: Thank you for the suggestion. This has been passed on to the appropriate parties for consideration.

Q: Is there a way to check stats for my website traffic?
A: We continue to expand our mobile functionality, and will add Mobile Site Analytics in a future release. In the meantime, Site Analytics is supported by iOS. You can access it through Safari®. In the address bar, type in yourdomain.com/stats to access the control panel, and then check your stats from anywhere.

Q: Can I pay with PayPal®?
A: This will be added in a future release.

Our latest updates to the app include:

• Mobile Mail — An entirely redesigned email experience
• Online File Folder® — Now fully-integrated into GoDaddy.com Mobile (including Mobile Mail)

As someone who uses both work and personal email a lot, I was always hesitant to mix the two for a few reasons: potentially sending something to the incorrect contact would be very embarrassing, and missing important work emails after wading through personal spam would be wasteful. But now I can keep my work email completely separate—siloed in the iPhone app—but it’s still with me all the time.

And, because we designed it, it works perfectly with your Web-Based Email account, giving you functionality you’ll actually use:

• Auto-complete contacts from your email account and phone.
• Flag emails on your phone and they show up when you log in to Web-Based Email.
• Easily move emails between your folders.
• View in-line HTML attachments.

For a nerdy, techy comparison, it makes all of your email accounts act like IMAP accounts. If you aren’t sure what that means, trust me that it’s a good thing.

We’ve also integrated Online File Folder into GoDaddy.com Mobile. The most fantastic thing about this is I can now attach files from my OFF account to my Mobile Mail messages, and save attachments from Mobile Mail to OFF. It basically acts as a file handler for your iPhone. When you couple this with Workspace Desktop Tools’ folder sync (PC & Mac), you have an incredible productivity app.

You can download it in the App Store®.

We’ve also included two new articles to help you set up your account:

• Checking Your Email with GoDaddy.com Mobile
• Managing Online File Folder Using GoDaddy.com Mobile

You should check it out. I highly recommend it.

To help, Go Daddy Auctions just launched a new version of Mobile Auctions through GoDaddyMobile.com! Whether you are buying or selling domain names, our new Mobile Auctions lets you execute business as usual.

In addition to everything you would expect, Mobile Auctions lets you:

• Add/remove listings from watch list
• Run simple or advanced searches and use preset filtered lists
• Create saved searches or use existing saved searches
• Bid/offer/counter offer on multiple auctions at the same time

An official launch is scheduled for next week and more information is on the way!

You can download the latest version from the Android Market.

NOTE: It may be necessary to restart your phone or delete the old shortcut for the fix to work.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please respond to this post.

We locked step with the new CSS3 and HTML 5 technologies and have reduced Http Request counts by more than half – removing all images (except the Go Daddy Header) which have improved performance significantly. Previous iPhone requests were 18 resources per request reduced down to 5.

The Android and iPhone user agents make this possible by allowing us to use the code necessary to emulate buttons, background, and gradients as if they were images, without sacrificing quality.  

For example, can you guess which one of these buttons is using CSS3 styling or an image?

Go to GoDaddyMobile.com and add an item to the cart and view the new Go Daddy Mobile Cart and tell us what you think.

More updates are coming soon so watch for them.

Imagine you’re on the go and the company name you’ve been trying to come up with for the past few weeks just hits you. Of course you want to capitalize on your brand and grab the domain name for your new company name in every possible TLD (.COM, .NET, .CO, .ME, .INFO, .MOBI, .ORG).

Don’t panic! You can register domains from your mobile device. On www.godaddymobile.com, it’s as simple as clicking “Bulk Domain Search” on the Home page. For our iPhone and Android applications, go to the Domain Search section and choose the “Bulk Search” option.

Depending on how many domains you register, you’ll see discounted prices on each domain registration. View the discount chart.

Check out the bulk domain search on the mobile website and the iPhone applications:

Now, when you add items to your cart through GoDaddyMobile.com, or any of our Go Daddy mobile applications, you can see your total savings and how much you saved on each product right in your cart.

Your total savings is displayed at the top, highlighted in yellow. For each individual product that you saved money on, the original price is listed, but crossed out, and your special price displays right below.

Here’s how it might look on the Blackberry Storm and the iPhone.
