What would you expect/like?

What topics would you like more information about, and can you provide
a use-case you need assistance with?

This is old news, and has indeed come up many times here. Google
"mobileorg" and "mobileorg android." Separate web sites, the appending
of "android" after MobileOrg, and separate developer lists for the two
projects is a very good indicator that the two are different. That
said, matburt shows up on both sites, so perhaps he was originally
iPhone and then started his own thing? Not sure if he pulls from
iPhone development.

This would require a specific question or details to assist with.

- Who: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/support/
- Status: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/development/ and
https://github.com/mobileorg/mobileorg

Regarding all of the questions above, I'd contact the app developers,
as it seems your inquiries relate to phone usage, not anything on the
Org side. From looking at ~/org.git/list/org-mobile.el, Carsten wrote
the tool from the Org-mode side. But again, all of your questions
about inquiries or wishes about the app, which I don't think we can
help with.

really "running" it. Their most recent push appears to have been a
year ago.
