Introducing the OMG! Ubuntu! Android app

It’s finally time to unveil the official OMG! Ubuntu! Android app to you all!



Now you can get the latest Ubuntu news, tips, interviews, how-tos and more from your favourite Ubuntu site wherever you are on your Android phone.

Features:

  • Stay up to date with the latest articles from OMG! Ubuntu!
  • Read comments and post your own
  • Share articles via Twitter, Facebook and more
  • Use swiping gestures to change articles
  • Cache the articles for offline reading
  • Filter posts by category
  • Pull down list to refresh articles
  • Adjustable font size
  • Haptic feedback
  • In-frame article viewing

Help us test it


We’ve been working hard on this for the last month and a half, and although it’s fairly stable, we think it’s ready for wide scale testing. Disclaimer: It’s an alpha version.

Future feature update ideas include better social integration, highlighting of featured posts, speed optimizations, a homescreen widget, optional new post notifications, and more.


If you’ve got an idea for a new feature you’d like to see, then constructive feedback is very much welcome either in the comments on this article or preferably on the Get Satisfaction page for the app.

You can also just click the Feedback tab on the right hand side of the site to report an issue/feedback/ask a question about any of our products at any time =)

Download


It’s available for no charge in the Android Market.
