Official BGW Android App

[David]

The crash bug is well known and just something I couldnt really ever get right. I think I was trying to load too many images and most phones couldnt handle that (and most crash reports were pointing to memory errors). The new update is a ground up rewrite. It will work with everything 4.0 and up. Making it a 4.0+ and up only app also allows me to do things with memory to allow for the app to be bit more stable.

I'll do a big update on the app thus far to get everyone caught up with what's going on. If you have any other ideas/suggestions dont be afraid to post and let me know. I'm always up for adding new features (glares at zachary always adding to my list).

That's exactly what I thought myself. He should root it either way

But here's the mildly large progress update on the BGWFans Android app as promised.

I've gone through so many broken SII's it's sad. I don't need another one.

Can you add some camera functionality to it, like a BGW Fans version of fun frames?

Should I download it now or wait for the update?

Unfortunately it is still crashing on my Droid Bionic. If you have an Android device, I think you gotta wait for the big upgrade..

I would wait for the update. After seeing it, it looks really good! Also from what I can tell from other reviews that it tends to crash on some devices. Also the update will have the updated calendar and park hours. But David can tell you more about that subject.

David, what do you mean 4.0 and up?

David, what do you mean 4.0 and up?

Android 4.0+ (Ice Cream Sandwich & Jelly Bean)

Ok, I am not a "phone" guy, I just use it for what I want, so how do I know what version of android I have?

nevermind, found it

So the app will only work for 4.0 and up? That mean I have to wait until July!
