Newbie
[AppyDroid v1.1 stable public release][free][application][social & media] stable on even old versions of android. not tested on honeycomb or up!.

Hello People.

I had this app posted in the beta testing section but after a few importaint tweaks and updates i feel its stable enough after various testing on many android devices including very basic android phones, sofar it has worked no problems, of course full compatability depends on your phones/devices capability's, a device with flash support is recomended but most of the appyapps work as intended on most mobile devices,

Benifits of using appyDROID.
Well the intended purpouse of using this app is to save you time and bandwidth or internet usage costs, Not only does it make getting to your favorite sites fast and effective, it also should be vastly quicker to do it thanks to the way the browser works. it wont open or retain active windows so you only pay for the usage to download the page, most of us have a data packages nowdays, this app helps reduce how much you need to download in 2 ways, it loads the mobile site, not the full one, it also does this efficently, less bandwidth, easy to reach websites, meaning less searching google or opening favorites, etc saving you time and money.
The home page is also designed to be user freindly as simple as using your own devices home page infact, simply slide and click the appyapp, done! simple as that.

The app also now features a mini browser toolbar, with URL support, so you can quickly add your own url. it now features working back forward and go buttons in addition to the url toolbar, will implement a favorites function soon.

The browser function seems to run way faster than the stock browser, meaning it still retains its bandwidth saving properties during a seperate session

Anyways you can download the public release here, new with browser toolbar!

this version will work depending on your browsers configuration
it may not render how its suposed to designed for the app version, but typicaly this is the page the app loads up, it also wont be as fast as the app version

please let me know what you think!

Please also note, if you have installed before 15/6/2012 Please goto app settings find appydroid, open and clear data:

This is because the server side updates and changes wont show as images are stored in cache, once this is done the app will look slightly difrent, more noticably the shine on the buttons, thanks :)
 
Sorry for the tripple post, just an anouncment!

Since uploading the app in beta section and here, the app has been downloaded 633 times, the the web client has seen 543 unique ip hits, and been veiwed over 3000 times :D, this could be in app views and simply checking the web version, still i find these numbers astonishing :D

Anyways ild like to say a big thanks to those who tryed it out, and home many remain using it,

Since this post ive uploaded the final edition with all the things added i wanted to use,

the last updates were heptic feedback and a boot sound,
Gives the app a polished feel!

Any more updates will be server side only, those i will remain to add to the changelog on the first post.

If you want server side updates to work you simply need to goto application settings/appydroid/clear data. then restart the app for the changes to take effect.

So again thank you for trying this app..

just ask if you have any questions,

Todo: Server side updates:

Add in app web support/help, via a text submission form.
Add more appyapps.
Add login security.
