Daniel Frey is working hard on the new KATG Android app. Here's a video of how the app is progressing so far.

Steve Jobs is dead, and is smoking a turd in the deepest pits of hell.

Fuck the iOS platform.

GIVE US THE ANDROID APP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (for free, and fucking hurry up :D )

I guess the question is, why did they make an app for iOS before Android, when there are more than 4 times more people using Android than iOS?

I believe there was an Android app in the works for a while, but it got canned. I can't wait for this. Fuck iOS.

Talking to the folks who code the mobile app for my employer the feeling is that in general Android development is harder, more variations in OS there are still gingerbread based devices being sold, many different screen sizes etc...

Android (operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In IOS there are 2 iPhone screen resolutions to deal with and on iPad there are 2 as well. Makes it easier to line things visually up when you have to code for less variables.

Doug volunteered his time and built a large part of the iOS app already. We needed to add some graphics and ship it so it was fairly easy to publish the app.

Daniel is volunteering his time building the Android app and we're working hard to get this out. There's a lot of core functionality that needs to be built since this is being published with VIP services. Once we get the first version out we'll have a strong base to work with. Subsequent versions should be released faster.

Daniel has been working on this app on and off for a while. It took us a few tries to connect because he needed me to develop some API resources for the app. To be honest, I was flooded with other KATG projects and dropped the ball on this a few times before we finally got this going, thanks in large part to his persistence.

I believe that it is harder to code for Android because of the reasons you stated but I honestly don't know all the complexities involved. I think many of those issues are now manageable by building a flexible interface to account for the difference screen sizes. We're also targeting the newest OS builds so that removes another layer of complexity.

excited for the Android app to come out... then I can sneakily download it onto any of my friends' smartphones :D

Any ETA on this app coming yet? :)

It's really hard to say because the people working on it are doing it in their spare time. That time varies from many hours a week to gaps of a few weeks with no hours.

However, you can follow along with the progress by watching the issues close on our github page https://github.com/KeithAndTheGirl/K...Android/issues

RefusingYouLiquor 08-20-2014 03:47 PM

Thanks for the update.... Hopefully its sooner rather than later.... but c'est la vie :)

If you received the link to this page from someone, we recommend you contact them for more information.
Go with all of my hopes and dreams beta testers!

It's possible that you're too stupid to be using Android.

You may want to try the iPhone. Especially if you like U2.
