Android version in the pipeline? Should I sign up for email updates?

Ah man - one of the things I've learned from my launching my first iOS app is how painful it is to answer this question.

Painful because yes, I would LOVE to. Let's see how people like it on iOS, then I can decide the best way to go about getting it in the pipeline as quickly as possible.

That was a very tactful way of saying "probably not soon". ;)

I for one would definitely buy this app if there was an android version. So that's one person out of the few thousand you need...

I concur with the other post; I would buy this app if there's an android version.

While I understand that porting and maintaining two applications is difficult, you're ignoring half your potential market.

Good luck, I hope to see the droid version soon.

Thanks! I appreciate the nudge. :)

Is there a way for me to be notified if/when the Android app is available?

If you sign up on the email form on the front page of cleverdeck.com, I will send something out when we launch an Android version. But that means you'll also be spammed when we launch new languages for iOS. Not ideal - I'll try to add a separate signup somewhere tomorrow.

Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m (latest version) for Win7 x64 has some sort of validation problem upon entering a perfectly valid gmail address in that signup field. Hitting subscribe just makes it highlight red. Works in IE though. PS: I'm looking for the android version too! Anki is great but clunky.

Bummer this wasn't planned on from the start, seems like this type of app is well suited for one of the many cross-platform tools.

No doubt that iOS is the bigger market, but Android is still plenty big and there is a dearth of well designed apps so I think it can still be rewarding.

Anyways, count me as another eagerly awaiting an Android port. Signed up on the website mailing list.

Cheers.

Why is iOS bigger market when there are more Androids out there?

Market size = number of users * dollars per user

iOS users have historically spent significantly (4X? 10X?) more per user.

There seem to be some already... https://www.google.com/search?q=spaced+repetition+android+ap...
