I want to share in a bit more detail our Android plans and how the full app is progressing. This is a bit risky but hopefully you guys will be understanding when we inevitably get delayed/run into problems etc. with all the usual things that happen in software development Transparency ftw.
Weāve been updating the current version of the Android app (v0.1) with bug fixes and will very soon (late this week/early next week) have an update in the Play Store that adds some more content to the waiting list and brings it up to par with iOS (this means we can send people on the waiting list additional information about wait times, ask them questions etc.).
Much more excitingly, our first full time Android engineer is starting on Monday! Iām hoping heāll be able to take this thread over once he does because his focus will be to get something out to our wonderful Android beta testers as soon as possible with āmain appā functionality ā this will be super basic, showing you your feed and balance, but from there should develop quite quickly.
Iām just as impatient as all of you because @dom and I are the only Android users in the office (once everyone sees how much better the version is I think thatāll change ). Weāre also hiring for a second engineer to join so let us know if you know of anyoneā¦
Hope that makes sense and thank you for your patience! We really are making progress on Android now and we canāt wait to share it with all of you
PS. Best bet for beta testing is to make sure youāre on the current beta (I think you can access it from our Play Store app page) and weāll roll it out there first
Hi everyone, itās great to see that youāre excited about the Mondo Android app.
To be honest Iām really looking forward to using it myself.
Iāve already started writing some source code and like Tristan mentioned above weāre aiming to get out a release with some very basic features to our Android beta testers as soon as possible.
Hey @joluet - congrats on the new job! I had a quick look on the Play Store (as @tristan suggested above) but canāt see any difference between the āregularā Mondo app and one that might be flagged as a ābetaā. Is there some other step we might need to go through in order to get access to the beta? I know from running beta programmes in the past, I had to be running a Google+ community in order to grant users access to the beta apk.
Anyhow - really looking forwards to seeing the fruits of your labour!
Thanks @DavidC. As soon as we have a version of the app in our beta channel it should appear on the Play Store as itās a public beta. However, you can already join the beta channel here, too.
Btw, I made some good progress on the transaction feed yesterday.
Looks as though the bundle identifier for that app is slightly wrongā¦ Itās currently āco.uk.getmondoā, which would imply Mondoās website is https://getmondo.uk.co - shouldnāt it be āuk.co.getmondoā?
Quick update: Iāve finished the implementation of a basic transaction feed. Also, Iāve integrated our support chat. I think weāre on track to release something to our beta channel at the end of next week or the beginning of the week after.
