Gowalla app on Android?
Any update or details on the plans to develop an Android version of the Gowalla app? Experimenting with my first-gen iPhone, but want the app on my GPS-enabled G1!

Hey, SnoWake, we're definitely planning to develop Gowalla for other mobile platforms. We don't have a timeline yet, but we're really excited about bringing Gowalla to Android in the future. Thanks for playing around on your 1G iPhone! You're Gowalla-rific! :)

What's the status on the Android application? Is it being actively developed? -
-
what a pretty sighting!

I thought you might like that!
-
nice :) is there a option to help you testing the app?

Inappropriate?I'd love an Android version too so that my friends with Android phones could play too - I'm trying to share the Gowalla love but not everyone has an iPhone for some reason lol -
Inappropriate?With all the Android phones hitting I'm really surprised they haven't gave a more definite "yes, we're working on this right now it's probably 6 to 8 weeks out."
Any new info guys?
I’m happy

It really is a top priority for us at this very moment, a solution for non-iPhones (including Android).

nice to hear this! i'm selling my iphone 3g today and getting the samsung galaxy :)
-
Inappropriate?I'm moving from my iPhone 3G to the HTC Hero a week from tomorrow - it would be awesome to get gowalla on the android platform too!
I’m thankful
-
Inappropriate?I'm moving from my iPhone 3G to an Android phone too - "it would be awesome to get gowalla on the android platform too!" Ditto
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?wow, cool to see all these folks moving from iPhone to Android platform? I never thought that kind of thing would happen.
I’m happy

Why not? The iPhone isn't perfect and it's just not the phone for some people! Like any phone, it has good and bad points.
-
Yep, I just switched from the iPhone to the Moto Droid. Happy as all heck now :)
-
Inappropriate?I'm really hoping for an update on the status of the Android version of Gowalla. I really want to use it, but I'm very much an Android person, not an iPhone person, due to needing certain features. When can we hope to see it on Android?
I’m slightly frustrated
-
Inappropriate?is anyone with gowalla watching this thread? Id love to join all my iphone buddies in using gowalla. please let us know the status of the android / gowalla application. -
Inappropriate?Buying my Android tomorrow. The store is making sure to hold one for me. So badly want to see Gowalla for Android coming not long after. I am so stoked to be getting the Android, finding out Gowalla is an app for it would make it even more enjoyable. -
Inappropriate?Another week goes by...

I sent a tweet to Gowalla the other day re: the Android update. I'm happy to report that an Android compatible version of the application is nearing launch.
-
Inappropriate?yea...... I cant wait - thanks Huuuze.
-
Inappropriate?Awesome! Going Android tomorrow and looking forward to finally using Gowalla.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?OK, Droid in hand. Lots of apps have joined me, but still missing the much coveted Gowalla. I'm waiting patiently. Oh, and I love my Droid!!!1 Comment Add a comment

Have you tried the new mobile version? Does it not work on Android
-
-
Inappropriate?I tried the Gowalla for Mobile Web thing just announced in the Blog, and it doesn't look like it's working on my Motorola Cliq. I really hope there's still an actual app in the works, because m.gowalla.com is a non-starter.
I’m disappointed.

Thanks for the info! I'll try checking in somewhere today, and see if that fixes it.
-
Inappropriate?Android, Symbian, BlabBerries, Verizon phones (but do NOT let them charge extra for it - if the app is free on iPhone, then it should be free on any other service and any other phone - no BS sub fee nor one-time fee - it either needs to be free all around or charge fairly all around)
-
Inappropriate?is the mobile version of m.gowalla.com broken for anyone else?
trying with my vanilla htc magic, it won't display any content on the tabs. :( i have the 1.5 version of the firmware.
Thanks.
I’m sad

If you mean broken in that it's all but useless, then yes. It is unable to properly use the GPS most of the time, and even when it is able, it will switch back and forth between different locations.
Add to that, its seeming inability to actually find places nearby that I know for a fact others have checked-in at using the iPhone app.
And yes, it constantly has issues with the tab content. -
Inappropriate?When using it, I too have had to clear my cache & reset my phone to get it to display the proper GPS location instead of bouncing back to a prior location. Refreshing doesn't fix it much of the time, it seems. It's a hassle but I can deal because I want so much to play, so I can work around the glitches.
I think it's tough to ONLY have the ability to check in to places, and not be able to pick up or drop items which is an integral part of this particular app.
I'm happy for any opportunity to Gowalla... but also frustrated to be able to "kind of" play, yet have it be so limited -- without any ETA or response / timeline on when some of the added features will be coming, either to mobile, or to a stand alone Android app.
I’m anxious

If it helps, you can find random items when checking in, it just doesn't tell you. You'll see them next time you log into the site proper.
-
Inappropriate?It definitely helps & was a nice surprise, but I've vaulted all of the unique items that were dropped into my pack & my pack is stuffed with 10 duplicates. And I've found 3 items out in the "wild" via Gowallatools that I am desperate to pick up! :)
