A mobile version of Halo Waypoint was released for the Windows Phone 7 (and later 8), iOS, and Android platforms for free, though it lacks a number of features found on the web and Xbox versions. An additional feature called ATLAS was released in December 2011 which shows detailed diagrams of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' multiplayer maps and near real time game player and weapon location stats in Matchmaking and Custom Games. ATLAS is free on the Windows Phone 7 and available for $4.99 on iOS and Android.<ref>[http://blogs.halo.xbox.com/Headlines/post/2011/12/08/The-Halo-Bulletin-12811-.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 12.8.11'']</ref> On February 26, 2014, 343 Industries announced that it would discontinue support for the Waypoint mobile apps on August 1, 2014.<ref name="dscntd">[https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/The-Halo-Bulletin-22614 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 2.26.14'']</ref> After this date, the apps will no longer be available for download.
