[Steem Mobile] First Steem Mobile App Update - Invites You To Beta Testing (Android, iOS)

Steem Mobile

Let me start by saying, thank you everyone for trying your best to keep community and posts in order. And thank you @ned and @dan for initiating and creating such a wonderful platform. I am following codebase and can see daily it is improving and evolving.

Mobile application will come as cross platform support for Android and iOS (Blackberry, WinPhone). And it is open source. Even though I have provided first mobile wrap version of steemit.com, I thought there is yet to be mobile device oriented development. So here comes first official update of Steem Mobile.

Development

Managed to follow C++ code of Steem and follow some documentation of excellent developers like @xeroc, @fabien . Development is hybrid mobile application, anyone who is willing to contribute, very welcome. A lot of development ahead and I am proud to be part of this community.
Statistic for wrap version shows that there is huge demand on mobile app, even though it was just wrap version. Now with custom, new version, hope there will be more users. And features will be to help them use system in its most functionality.

Testers

Appreciate testers for all different devices and all different platforms (iOS, Android, etc.)
For Android we already have published app wrapped version of steemit.com, which will get updated with new changes once we have some beta testing and improve functionalities.
Login feature still not fully functional, only use username to follow your votes, profile, etc. Currently it is read only mode. Once login is implemented properly with all security measures, you will be able to vote, post, comment, etc.
