A new Android app that features the OpenStax College books was released on May 2nd.  The features include

The app is open source and the code is in Github. You can install the app from the Google Play store.

From a technical point of view, the app is based off of the existing OpenStax CNX Android app.  As part of our name change, the mobile version of our site was modified to work better with the Android app.  The result is a simplified look of the content (see screenshot).

If you use the app, we would love to hear feedback either as a rating of the app or by contacting us at android at cnx.org.
