We plan to add an Android app this year.  We are finishing up a few features on the iOS app and then we will be working on the Android app.  Hopefully it launches in the near future but we don't have an exact date.

We make our website mobile friendly.  You should try browsing it directly on your phone and see what you think.  All the latest features and updates happen on the website.


You can even save the site to your phone’s home page so it looks and runs like a regular app. http://www.howtogeek.com/196087/how-to-add-websites-to-the-home-screen-on-any-smartphone-or-tablet/


Most of our website users are on mobile phones now.


This requires updating just the one thing (website) and all users get the updates, instead of updating three things (website, ios, and android).


Are there particular features that we can't offer in a web app that we could offer in a native app?

I would love an android app. I use the mobile site almost every day and I love it...except for the barcode scanner. Most times I sit on a barcode for almost a minute waiting for it to scan.  Please take a look at something like the discogs android app, the barcode scanner they use is insanely good.  Probably the best barcode scanning app I've seen on android.

this says its posting anonymously, not sure why,I'm logged in to the site. My username is WhiteKenny.

Thank you for that feedback about the scanner.  That is the one reason that I would consider a native app.  The scanner capabilities would be better.

I'll take a look at Discogs app and see how they do the scanner.  Thank you WhiteKenny

Has there been any update on adding an app for android.  The website on mobilebisbokay but I feel an app would streamline things better.
