Angus Mobile before the 2013 NAILE
Updates to the app include specific information for the breed’s 130th
Annual Meeting.
Prior to leaving for the 2013 North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE), be sure to download the Angus Mobile smartphone application. The app allows instant access to NAILE event coverage and details on the American Angus Association®’s 130th Annual Meeting of Delegates.
Anyone with an iPhone, Android or Windows smartphone can download the free application. Once the app is installed, the “events section” can be found under the “more tab” at the bottom of the screen. Navigate to the “Annual Meeting/NAILE 2013” button and scroll through alerts, schedules, show coverage, maps, restaurants, board candidate biographies, awards, hotel information, videos and more.
And, if breaking news occurs, app users will be the first to know through an alert sent via Angus Mobile. More than 16,000 users have already downloaded the application.
After the event is over, the smartphone app can still be used on the ranch. The MyHerd function grants access to AAA Login, where users can search for specific animals, update information and view performance records.
The events section of the app will be updated to share coverage for other Angus events throughout the year, including the National Western Stock Show and National Junior Angus Show.

Visit the iTunes Store or App Store when using an iPhone, iPod or iPad. A quick search for Angus results in the application link. Click on install, and the icon will appear on the device’s screen or desktop.
The Angus Mobile app is compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (third generation and fourth generation), and iPad. Older versions of the app are available, but to have the most up to date capabilities the app requires iOS 7.0 or later, which can also be downloaded through iTunes and installed by connecting the iPhone to a computer.
For Android devices, visit Google Play or the Amazon App Store and search for Angus and the application should appear. Download on a smartphone, and it is ready to operate.
