* I was trying to imitate the web interface. That's why it seems crowded. I agree it should change.
* I was trying to get the screenshots of functionality since I only have one screen yet. (color changes after each cycle)
* Story numbers won't make the next release.
Thanks for the pointers. Do you mind sharing your client? Btw any pointers on how to get more feedback?
I found that I got some good feedback via /r/androiddev and /r/android (once I got the client to a presentable state). My client: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.dwak.holoha...

* The login function isn't still available in official API?
* How did you promote your testing community(g+ page)?
* How are the donations coming?
* There is an AlertDialog on the first run of the application that lets the user know about the G+ community
* Donations haven't been publicized yet (I only added the links a couple of weeks ago). I may publicize them soon, as the Heroku instance I'm running the server on may need to be moved into a pay tier.
