Android app update?

[supergroundpound]

hey just curious about the update for the Android app that was suppose to happen in July. I use mobile vgcollect but have the app too and would much rather use that, just wondering if that's still in the plan.

I think the update in July was just for the website. I don't think there is a timeline for when the app will get updated but hopefully matt will jump in here.

Unfortunately the app isn't going to be updated anytime soon unless I can find some developers to work on it. Between the new site launch and other "life" obligation, I simply don't have the time. I'd love to open source it and allow any and all to contribute.

Please open source all of it (app and site)! I'm a full-time rails developer (and we also use bootstrap) and a hobbyist android/glass developer. I'd love to contribute in my spare time.

If you need help on getting it on github without exposing any secure data (database passwords, api keys, etc.) let me know!

Just as an update. I found the source! Can't seem to get it to run without crashing though....

Its still a step in the right direction....  I look forward to testing the buggy crashing thing again~!  Maybe I'll upgrade to a Galaxy Note 3 before it happens too....

Hey matt, sorry for the delay, I got busy at work. I sent you a PM.

Please make this happen! love the site, want to love the app too! I enjoyed it for a little while and got bummed out that it didn't work anymore.

The new site works really well on mobile stuff now. The app isn't high priority. Just keep using the site. It works well and looks good on my iPhone.

Although that is true....



Things are coming along nicely.

Oh ah... the app says unable to reach server. Must have been since the update but I swear I had used the app recently... actually it was the 18th.

[ianstar]

Same with me  -the app says unable to reach server but it worked really well before

It's more than likely that the app is still looking for the old server, since when we revealed the new site we moved to a new server at the same time.

It actually should be pointing to the new server but someone else is wrong. Looking into it...
