Flexmls iOS app
On February 2, the newest version of the Flexmls iOS app for consumers will be released. This version allows your clients to tap on emailed listings and open them directly in their app instead of the mobile website.
When you share listings with a contact from Flexmls using Subscription Emails, Manual Emails or Flexmls Pro, the emailed link will be a universal link. This means that if your contact opens the email on a device that has the Flexmls app for consumers installed, the link will open directly in their app.
If your client doesn't have the app installed or if they are not using an iOS device, the link will open on a mobile website just as it currently does.
Note that launching the iPhone app from an emailed link is only available for iPhone 5 (or newer) using iOS 9 or higher.
