Android App Availability

We’ve loved the responses BillionGraves.com is getting. We’ll be addressing them as we can here on the blog. One of the most frequent responses we’ve been hearing is a question: Why isn’t there an Android app, and when will there be one?

To answer the first question (why isn’t there an Android app yet), let it be known that creating an app and a website that play well together isn’t the simplest task in the world, but it made it much easier to accomplish when we only had to set it up with one mobile device to start with. Now that we’ve got the framework set up, it’ll be a lot easier to create an Android counterpart app.

As to the second question (when will it be available), if all goes according to plan, it will be available before the end of June. If all goes exceptionally well, it may even be out within 2–3 weeks. The app will be able to do all the same work as the iPhone app and will open the door to those of you who want to help but don’t have an Apple device.

If you want to be notified when the Android app hits the Marketplace, register on BillionGraves.com. We’ll send an email to all registered users when we’re able to confidently release the app.
