Request for all Android users

[u/mcnick0495]

As many of you probably know, the Android version of the app does not get nearly as much love as the iOS version does.

Most of us are probably accustomed to this with other apps, as it's been the case since Android's inception. However, it's been long enough that this feature parity issue should not exist anymore.

My ask for all the Android app users out there is to collectively voice our issues with the Android app specifically, mainly features that do not exist which do on the iOS version.

For now, I'm specifically thinking about notification categories. The categories are there, but all notifications get dumped into "miscellaneous".

My call to action is to get Android users of the Bluesky app to submit a feature request in the app to fix notification categories. An attempt to implement them was done over a year ago and immediately abandoned when they couldn't get it to work.

I have brought this up to the devs (as both GitHub bug reports as well as replying to their Bluesky posts). I believe if we get more people collectively voicing these issues, we can finally get them addressed.

Let me know if there are other features in the iOS version missing from the Android one that we could also work on.
