Update the android app

[shaggMagee]

While I'm sure there have been several people before me to make note that the app is incompatible with the newer smart phones, I was wondering about the possibility of updating the app, as well as adding several features.

Features such as:

• Sorting stories alphabetically or by date of adding to favorites, like on the full site
• The ability to submit stories
• The ability to comment on stories
• The ability to message your favorite authors
• The ability to listen to audible stories
• The ability to download stories for offline reading
• The ability to add or remove multiple stories at once to your favorites

These are just a few ideas; I'm sure that, if a survey of the users of the full site was taken, that these ideas as well as others would be welcomed, to continue to enjoy not only the website but the app as well.

The app is not a Literotica-supported thing. Five or so years ago @Manu posted that Literotica discourages third-party apps, because reading through them doesn't affect Literotica stats, which are the only rewards us volunteer authors get.

Perhaps to support the authors the official app should be updated? Just a thought.

Perhaps hiring a skilled app developer is not free, and Lit is already overwhelmed trying to keep the main web site functional? If you happen to be that skilled dev, maybe you could offer to buy rights to the app from them and update it yourself?

Some sections could use an update on the mobile browser. The forum is okay tit browse but writing comments or navigating through comments can get confusing. Chat is nearly impossible to use. It takes you think you are back in the 90s surfing the internet. Just the brrrr of the modem is missing. If Lit wants to have people join and stay it should think about investing in some updates. Or make the code open source.
