    Hey guys, I just made a marijuana culture / news application for Android, and was wondering if I could get some feedback and improvement ideas from y'all. What do you think?

    Currently planned improvements:
    * Removal / change of splash screen
    * Changing white screen before interface appears to match the application and indicate a loading state

    Do the telco companies have any idea/records of which apps people run on their phones? :confused:

    They don't specifically keep track of Joe Schmoe downloading a specific app, but they do keep details about what kinds of phones downloaded which apps, and in what geographic location.

    I've seen a lot of people download it, but only one person has messaged me with improvement ideas!

    I like it so far. Sort of like the PulseNews app, but for the Cannabis Culture. Will send more via IM. Good work.

    Love it! A great idea would be a widget that I can place on my front page.

    Didn't even think about a widget, let me look into the code necessary and I'll let you know how long it'll take and when to expect an update!

    I will most definately download this app and give feedback. I might even throw in some improvement in there.

    well, my computer is acting a li funmy atm, so

    access to an archive, of past stories, would be nice, and i forgot what else i was going to suggest, so.. Great App, looking forward to that Widget ;)

    I currently only aggregate the news sources, but if I ran the aggregated feed through a hub on a web server, I could store and serve links to past articles. Let me think about the cost involved in doing this and get back to you, great suggestion!

    I am working out some bugs in the widget, am swamped with my job right now so expect the widget in about a week or so.
