I just wondering why RG still not having an application for android. Now, the publicity of RG is wide and it is the time to think in android system users.
I believe it had to do with the resource allocation for the company and the fact that most researchers still use their computers laptop/PC while working on their research and spend time exploring social media of research (researchgate) on those devices. However, it seems that moving towards apps mobile platforms is inevitable for any business so it is not uncommon to see researchgate release a mobile app soon.
We are really waiting for the RG app for android specially in Africa (some countries) were you can easly get network on your mobile without having it on your PC.
I consider that indeed, would be a good strategy, I initially look at Playstore gone and nothing, would increase coverage and would be much more accessible
RG app for iOS has not been as well develped as its website. I use RG app for iOS but most of the time, I do prefer to use the website, instead of using an app with limited access to the features of RG.
I think we all can wait for the andriod platform of RG app as its iOS version is available and most of the android apps are developed after the introduction in the App Store.
