Those of you, who are active Forum users might have read it already. We are launching an Android App to access CODESYS Forge in the near future. This App is currently in development. The brave of you can also check out a pre-alpha version of the App.

The idea

We give you access to the mobile version of the CODESYS Forge Website. We don't provide any additional functionality.

This sounds weired, right? Why should you install an App, when you get no addional features?

The answer is:
Because of the usability!

While the website is already optimized to be used with a mobile web browser, a native App can improve this experience even more.

Instant access

The App gives you instant access to the most important pages for mobile usage. Those are:

• An activity stream which keeps you up-to-date about changes on the website
• This news blog
• The discussion area, where the Forum will be imported to

Offline usage

All pages, which you once visited are available in offline mode. So when you have a bad internet connection you can still read the cached content abs update only specific pages.

The status

The App is currently a proof-of-concept for all necessary concepts to satisfy the requirements above. You are welcome to test the App, checkout the sources and give us some feedback. If you do so, please leave a comment below.

Because of the early status, bugs which are found internally, are tracked in the ticket tracker. But you are welcome to file all the bugs, which you have found, there.

Alpha test

You can't install it from the store, yet. So you need to allow your device to install third party software

You can download the package from here.

Please file any bugs here.
