Nov 10: Updated Android App is Now Live! WooHoo
The new version of the Android app is now available in the google play store! This version will mimic the updated site design and increase functionality for all users. It is also much more stable than the old version.
If you are an android person, please download the new version and provide us with feedback here in this form!
If you love it, don't be shy, let us know by leaving a positive review! :)
Thank you very much!
I just downloaded the app last night for the first time, and I really like how simple it is! How is it different than the updated version? I'm asking because I'm thinking about waiting for automatic update...
@ItIsPossible
It's quite different and the old one is going to get a bit buggy as we keep building out the new one...
Yay! I've been waiting for this moment for soo long. Cannot wait to have this beauty (the new design) on the app as well <3
Q: Do we need to uninstall and install again or just update our app?
@cristiana33 Hey, I'm not sure if you've already figured this out or not, but updating the app worked just fine for me. No need to uninstall and reinstall anything! =D
@StandForFreedom
I didn't. Thank you! :) You actually reminded me to try it before getting to bed. Gonna fall asleep with a big smile on my face for sure.
@cristiana33
just updating should be fine.
if anything weird happens uninstalling and deleting you cache may help.
Wow, what a fantastic update! I absolutely love the new material design. One minor thing.. under the "chat" section, the general and personal requests look a bit too cluttered. Other then that, everything is great, and I am looking forward to the "my progress" section!
-Cheers!

@corey561
agreed re the clutter - that was a quick & dirty reskin to enable us to get the new app into the store. we will be going tab by tab implementing the design more correctly, still to come, still to do!
I am sooooo happy with this new update :D !!! At first I wasn't sure what it'd be like because I was pretty happy with the old version but this is wayyyyy better ! It's gonna be AMAZING once it's fully finished 
@2015ihope
I'm so glad you like it so far. We know it has a long way to go and we've been anxious about sharing it long before it's "perfect"...
@Laura the new app won't let me type in conversations D:
@n0thing14 we are working on the keyboard. When you see the keyboard come up, please hit a key and it should display the text bar for you to type in.
@n0thing14
let us know if @twish's workaround helps. We know that on some devices (like my phone!) the keyboard covers some or all of what you want to see.
Usually typing anything (I generally hit return/enter right away) repositions things (but not always).
We'll figure it out. btw, what kind of phone or device are you on?
@Twish @KrinkTheMellowUnicorn for me it was already doing that in the old app, but the tapping one key trick works well (On galaxy S4 , Ipod5 and Iphone 4s)
it is wayyyy better already! super fast and the multitask bar no longer resets so I'm already quite happy with that + we get the feed! I'll submit a few bugs I found, other than that I think we could have a notification tab again (unless it's in the glitched"me" tab?)
The new updated app looks amazing and it's very user friendly, awesome job!
Just updated my app, and its so pretty!
Love that we can view the feed on the go now, and loving the fresh new look of everything! Its so bright and shiny like the desktop update!!
A little bit slower than the old app, but its so pretty that I don't even mind.
WELL DONE TEAM!!! =D
@StandForFreedom
hmm, it should not be slower (except maybe on initial load).
Please let us know where it is feeling slower so we can troubleshoot!
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
I do believe it may have just been me being a bit too keen to try out the new app =)
I think my phone was still going through the update process while I was trying to play around on it, so everything was going super slow. But I've just tested it out again, about 30mins later, and you're right! Its not slower! =D
Thank-you for being amazing, and a for all the hard work you've put into this!! =D
@StandForFreedom
oh good! we really hope the thing is snappier and much more stable, although we know there are still some gremlins lurking in the works...
heya all!
please be aware that this updated app in the store is just the tip of the iceberg of what we are planning to deliver. It hit the tipping point of being more stable and reliable and less buggy than the old app and matching it in terms of features (ahem, except one or two things we're working on!), while also adding the path and the feed and an updated navigation.
we have lots more to do and I've listed out many of the known issues and top priorities for this app in my studio forum: Android
We welcome feedback and expect to get a lot as we improve this thing but please do take a moment to see the known issues to set your expectations appropriately and save us all time going over issues we already know about.
Thanks everyone for your patience!
After installing the new update, when I clicked the login option after providing email id and password, the app closed automatically and a pop up came out to say: Unfortunately 7 cups has stopped. This is happening all the time.
Are you also facing the problem. Can anyone suggest me?
@lovingCamp5012
I had this problem once during testing. You may need to stop the app (Settings, Apps, 7 Cups) and possibly even empty its cache. If you do these things and the problem persists please let me know and we'll figure it out together.
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
I had stopped the app first, cleared its cache then. But still the problem persists.
@lovingCamp5012
the next thing I would try is uninstalling and reinstalling
@lovingCamp5012, @KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
It did the same to me, and after no more able to load it at all! it only keep on the page with the big cup and saying 7 cups and to take a deep breathe. and it closes automatically. I uninstalled the old one before to download the new one.
@TortueDesBois
Is it still stuck like that for you now?
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn Yes... and it tells me that the app stopped...
@TortueDesBois
so if you have uninstalled/reinstalled
stopped/started
cleared cache
and restarted your device
and you are still stuck in this state, please let me & @ezraBC know and we will investigate what is causing this.
btw, there was no need to uninstall the old app before updating. I should have explained that.
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the app but the same problem is going on. Is there anything else that I can do?
@lovingCamp5012
just tell us your device type and we'll try to figure it out.
One question right now is whether it's the app or the fact that our entire service is under attack right now...
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
My device is Micromax Unite A092 which runs on Android v 4.3 Jelly Bean.
@lovingCamp5012 - thanks - I'll ask @ezraBC to take a look
@lovingCamp5012
I'm not sure if this is related to your problem but to fix one category of crashes seen on older phones, we just made a 2.0.1 update. Please let me know if it behaves any better on your phone.
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
Hi, I have updated 7 Cups app to the 2.0.1 version which is now working well. It is successfully logged in.
@lovingCamp5012
great! we're up to 2.0.2 now for other fixes but mostly we can fix things without updating the builds
