Use FrameReady on an iPad

In order to access FrameReady on an iPad, you will need to download the free FileMaker Go app from the App Store.

Opening FrameReady on the iPad

Unlock your iPad.
Make sure you have a wifi connection to the same network that your FrameReady host computer is on.
Tap the FileMaker Go icon.
At the bottom of the screen, tap the Hosts icon.
If FileMaker Go finds your host computer, then you should see a FrameReady icon. Tap and login as usual.
If FileMaker Go does not find your host computer, then tap the Hosts button (top left). If your host computer is listed, tap it. Otherwise, tap the + icon and enter the IP address of your Host / Server computer.

Tip: When you first open FileMaker Go on the iPad, it defaults to a list of recently opened files. If the address of your Host computer changed at one point, then it may still show it in the list.

Which one to use?

The best practice, when first opening FileMaker Go, is to tap the Hosts icon at the bottom right -- that screen lists the live connections to your Host computer.
