Sunsetting the DEV.to Android App

About two months, I shared with you our new Forem app for Android.

Forem for Android is Here! 🤖

Jennie Ocken for The DEV Team ・ Mar 24 '22

As with our Forem iOS app, the Android app allows you easily find articles, podcasts, and discussion across any Forem community you are a member of. Since we launched the Forem Android app we have seen over 10,000 downloads and received a 4.8/5 rating.

That means today it is time to say goodbye to the old DEV Android app.

The Forem Android app works with all Forems in the Forem network and includes modern mobile features like mobile optimized content and push notifications. It’s available on the Android store right now and your existing DEV, or Forem Account, login will work with it. So jump on in and try out the new Android app. If you have the old DEV app on your phone, it’s time to hit that delete button. :sad:

Thank you for helping us complete this greatly improved Forem experience!

Today, I'm excited to share that the Forem app for Android is now available for download and immediate use. 🎉

This fantastic news comes after months of beta testing and collecting valuable feedback from Forem Creators, DEV moderators & Trusted Users on DEV. We're so proud of this mobile app built for the many Android users that are part of DEV, CodeNewbie Community, and the entire Forem ecosystem.

Much like the Forem iOS app, our Android app is meant to help you move through your day without sacrificing smooth access to new articles, podcasts, and discussions across any Forem community you're a member of. With a more seamless experience and a wider world of Forem access at your fingertips, we see our Android app as a huge improvement from the now discontinued DEV app.
