Effective July 1, 2021, due to policy changes within their companies, Apple and Google have chosen to not support our apps any longer. This means we cannot provide needed updates, fixes or new access to the app. At this point the apps no longer function properly and need to be discontinued. If you have an app installed, you will receive an error message when you try to use it.
You can continue to use our fully responsive GunBroker.com web site via your mobile browser.

Information on Apple and Google Policies
Apple / Iphone / Ipad
Unfortunately, Apple has removed our app from their store. They state our app violates their guidelines. Here is what they told us:
"Apple has removed your App since it violates our guidelines. Specifically, this item:
1. Safety
When people install an app from the App Store, they want to feel confident it’s safe to do so— that the app doesn’t contain upsetting or offensive content, won’t damage their device, and isn’t likely to cause physical harm from its use. We’ve outlined the major pitfalls below, but if you’re looking to shock and offend people, the App Store isn’t the right place for your app.
1.1 Objectionable Content
Apps should not include content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, or in exceptionally poor taste. Examples of such content include:
1.1 <removed>
1.2 <removed>
1.3 Depictions that encourage illegal or reckless use of weapons and dangerous objects, or facilitate the purchase of firearms."
