Re: [O] [ANN] [OT] New Android app (Orgzly)

[Subhan Michael Tindall]

OK, I love this! 
I installed it, setup was easy as I already sync some relevant .org files  
through dropbox.
The interface is pretty smooth, there's a few significant things that need 
handled(checkboxes and #+TODO per-file configuration tripped me up already), 
but mostly everything works.
I will happily be contributing testing and feedback. I've been looking for a 
decent way to include my phone in my org workflow,  and this likes very 
promising!
Kepp up the good work!
