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 wish I woulda never downloaded the new app for Android it sucks I can't do any of my listening or join any group support rooms. It definitely wasn't worth it. I wish I could go back to the old way.

@powerfulWatermelon345, I'm sorry for the frustration.

I suspect the culprit right now is not the new app but the bot-attack on the site that is slowing everything to a crawl right now.

Please wait a little bit and try it again.

@TortueDesBois

I'm not sure what model of phone you have but we were seeing errors on some (and crashes) and so we have published a 2.0.1 version in the Play Store. If you can get that version, try it and let me know if it addresses this problem, please.

okay, I am able to go on the growth path, and see me conversations, but it's very long (5-10min) before it let's me type anything. and i'm not sure if my messages are sent for real in 1-on-1.

The new post updated version of the app kept crashing on my phone, all my other apps work completely fine. I tried going on via Chrome/my browser, and there's no 'enter' button so I cannot submit new chat messages.

@calmHemlock64

Please double-check:

1. Play Store on your device

2. Search/find 7 Cups

3. Click READ MORE

4. Scroll to bottom -version number on bottom-left.

Please make sure you have 2.0.2 and then let me know if the app is still giving your trouble.

@smilinghooman

can you tell us about your device so we can track down the incompatibility? Nothing has changed in terms of the versions of Android we support, but if there are quirks we can work them out.

One moment please, what are the new permissions for? Namely Photos and Wi-Fi connections information. Tia!

@DatRadKid

to be totally honest, I couldn't see where to turn those off! We don't need wifi information and we don't enable upload of images or anything, so I'll happily tell the app not to ask for those things, but they're not in the main checklist.

(I need to do a little research here.)

It should be in the AndroidManifest file. Check for tags like <uses-permission>... Thanks!

@DatCoolKid

kewl, thanks. we can probably fix in our next build.

(I should note that we update faster than that as we work on the web-content side of things so for example we added new-message numbers on the Chat tab without updating the build in the Play store.)

Hello!

New update's wonderful! Awesome job!

I've noticed that there is a bit of lag through out (I use a Galaxy S5). Also, it would be fantastic if you could make an easier way to get to the browse listeners page.

Cheers!
