Hi guys. Very sorry that I didn’t get back here to provide an update on where we are with Android. No excuses other than I took my eye off the ball here, so let me apologize again – I know it’s frustrating to wait for an update – and I’ll get into what’s going on.
Well, February has come and gone and no Android app has been released the way that I (and the entire team)(and you all) hoped. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we have an Android app that is in beta and currently being used by a couple hundred people in our beta testing group. It’s remarkably stable and we’re really happy with it.
So why isn’t it out yet? Partly because these things always take (way) longer than we think they will (although I am now getting much better at listening to my team when they tell me how long things will really take and, overall, we’re getting far, far better in our planning and execution). But also mainly because the app we are building isn’t just a Sufferfest update, but an entirely new platform. You see, the technology that the current SUF app is built on is starting to creak and just couldn’t go where we wanted it to go. We couldn’t ‘update’ that app or build an Android app off to the side of it. We had to start from scratch again – and that’s something we hadn’t really expected to have to do earlier last year. And that means the development and the testing for that app – which also includes things like a far better calendar - are taking a long time.
When will we release this entire new platform including Android? Man, I wish I could say. If anything, though, I’ve learned not to say because I always get it wrong. 
But what I can say is that we really, really, really, really want to get it out as soon as we can. We’re super excited about what we will release when we do release it – but we’re also as frustrated as you that we haven’t got it out yet. So, if you can, please hang tight with us. It’ll be a big step once we do release.
