Thanks Alan,
Be kind and understand the apps are still in development. Some suttle changes are coming in the Android app. The iOS app has some catching up to do but an update is coming shortly. The main issues still to be address with the apps is the website itself. I'm slowly making my way through it changing things to make it more compatable for the apps to work with.
Working with andriod has become an unexpected challenge. When coding for iOS in general if something works on one device it works on all as long as the iOS version meets the minimum requirement. This is obviously because it is apples's proprietary software.
With Android being free open source from google all the different device makers take the code and add code, remove code and change other code. This is great for them to create thier individual devices but becomes a nightmare for others who are creating apps for all android devices. Because of this I actually had to buy 3 different android devices with different OS versions from different makers just to scrape the surface of seeing how the app will work in the real world
The thing that bothers me the most is the conection to videos or social links. Most devices before android version 4.4 will not automatically be able to view them though the app. If you tube is installed on the device it will work on some device previous to v4.4 but not all. Same with the social pages. Some will load the corresponding app correctly if its installed on the device or drop to the appropriate social link. Others just hang. This is a very frustrating issue but apparently "most devices" with android v4.4 and going forward will work fine.
Thats the pitfall of open source. Its like the old saying "standards are great, there are so many to choose from"
