Funny you should say that - We're just in the process of uploading one to the android market right now! Not sure how long it's going to take, but you should find a dedicated android app for ECF in the next couple of weeks.

We've also uploaded one to the Apple app market.

Either could decide not to publish for whatever reason, so if nothing happens, that will be why.

At least on Droid X, I can see that I have new Notifications, but can't seem to reach them. I've tried tapping in the "1 New Likes Received" message, and on the ">" at the right of it, but nothing happens. On the Notifications page nothing lists, just the message of there being one new one.

As to a general comment, access to Phone ID, location, etc. is pretty common for apps to request, but I deny it. Any app developer should ask the question "Why do I need Phone ID, positioning, camera, etc.?" "Just because" doesn't cut it. If I want to upload a picture I will, don't need an app to have camera access/control. Phone position information is not needed for a forum member to post. Phone ID is not needed. (This isn't directed at ECF App in particular, many apps request such permission -- this is just a case where I'm trying to provide feedback, that the minimum information needed for an app to work should be what is requested. I use LBE Privacy Guard and none of the apps have magically broken, just that the app designer has requested things they don't need.) Perhaps slick down the requested access in a future revision?

Overall, nice first release :)
