Xanga now on Android!
Xanga's Android App is now avilable for free download from the Android Market!
It's only been two days since we launched Xanga's iPhone and iPad apps, and already Xangans from 24 countries have installed the apps! Thanks for your support, and for the five star reviews!
We're collected a few bug reports, and are working to fix them up in a new iPhone version shortly.
Next up: we'll be releasing a Kindle Fire app. It's pretty amazing to be able to support so many different devices! A big hat tip goes to PhoneGap, the open-source mobile development framework that let us build mobile apps using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Their support has made it possible for us to build one mobile app that works across multiple platforms. Thanks guys...
We'll consider additional mobile devices, although I should warn you that we've run out of mobile devices that we own and can use for testing. If there are particular devices you'd like to see supported, please let us know in the comments!
In the meantime, we hope you guys enjoy the Xanga Android experience! Let us know what you think...

The switch to mobile is long overdue. This is great news.
YAAYYYY!!!!
As we have asked again and again (I know I am not the only one) what about blackberry?
Yay! I'm downloading it now and will let you know what I think. Thank you so much!
neat. I just downloaded it and just uploaded a post--with a picture. ha. :)
@Kristenmomof3 - If there is enough interest, we'll consider additional mobile devices. I touch on this a bit in the post above: "We'll consider additional mobile devices, although I should warn you that we've run out of mobile devices that we own and can use for testing.

So far, I've seen two Xangans asking about Blackberry support. Sorry, haven't meant to ignore your request - we've been racing to get the Android app out the door!
I'm super excited for the kindle fire app, too.
Thanks for planning to support the Kindle Fire with an app! I can't wait!
Xanga icon, logo, fantastic (every time I see squares) I think of Xanga.
Fantastic might have to get android or other app device to use Xanga on the go.
@crazy2love - It lags for me a bit, too. Whenever I scroll, the top and bottom bars disappear, then reappear after a second or two after not touching the screen.
congrats. now when are you guys going to turn on xanga chat? and whats with the xanga weblog editor rich text version? i could only use plain text=boring!!!
Yay!!!
cool! i dont have any fancy kind of phone/tablet/ipad, but this is great news for you guys! i want xanga staying around as long as im here to post! this will encourage ppl to use it!
Sweet!
Awesome! Gonna check it out right now.
Downloaded it and played with it just long enough to post a photo from my phone gallery. Yay! I've been waiting so long to be able to do that! Well okay, only about a year, but it seems longer. Looking forward to the Kindle Fire app.
I vote for either a Blackberry app or for a Nook app.
I have the app on my Samsung Infuse (Android platform) and it seems to be running well thus far! I love that I can comment from my phone now! For whatever reason...I could not before. I have not had that particular issue with any other site I comment on.
Thanks for adding the app for Android! :D
HALELUJAH!!!!!!!!
Been using it all afternoon, my only complaint is the floating menu bar at the bottom sometimes sticks but it isn't really bad.
I love the app on my iPad Touch!! Everything is working smoothly. I'm also excited to have one for the Kindle Fire. Thanks team!!!
Yippee.
