Looks like it is out on Android now as well.

Edit:

After downloading it and checking it out on my android phone, I gotta say it looks really nice. It's aesthetically pleasing, and pretty intuitive with the swiping or holding down to switch to another article quickly. There's also more in that issue that I thought there would be, fluff though it is. Meaty enough to entertain for a bit. Between this and the Unearthed Arcana articles on the main site, I really can't say WotC is being stingy with content.

Ha! The editorial itself says it'll be available on computers as well as phones and tablets.

There is also a reader survey that is also a contest for a $50 gift cert.

As Patrick mentioned above, it's now available on Android. I've updated the above article.

 

[Agamon]

I like it. I admit, the Elemental Evil article is a tad spoilerific, but I'm not sure how else you talk about it without saying pretty much nothing at all.

According to the Article on the WotC's site it looks like the android version is now available. I have it installing now.

I think we said that!

But...did you know there's an Android version now?

Scoop!

Not seein' it in Andriod.

Sounds an awful lot like a Dragon mag reboot as an app.

...could be a lot of variation on how awesome/cruddy that is, but I am tenatively excited....

To find it I had to do the following:

1) search play store for Wizards of the Coast
2) select the Magic 2015 app
3) look in the "More by Wizards of the Coast LLC" section for the Dragon+ app.

You can install it through Chrome from here, too. That was how I did it.

It's a little buggy for me when I try and open the maps, for example. It blanks out and locks up sometimes. And not being able to turn to landscape drives me nuts.

That said, For free, I cannot complain, but realisticslly this is pretty weak as a substitute for DDI or print Dragon. This is a marketing app. There is no "plus" about it all.

While the content may not be to everyone's liking, it seems that the app has been downloaded by a lot of people, according to The Escapist.

Nice! Though the android was an app? Doesn't the android store show numbers?

 

[S_Dalsgaard]

Google Play says that the app has been downloaded 5-10,000 times.

It's on odd comparison to make, as people don't repeatedly download newstand apps. A new newstand type app will typically get more downloads in its first month than an older app does.

 

[darjr]

Sure, except for the first issue, I'd think app downloads would match well to the first issue download.

I'm hoping the App works more like a Wiki where I can search for a subject without knowing which month it showed up in.

I wish their website worked more like a website, as well.

 

[Zaran]

So far it doesn't work like a wiki. In fact the search function of the app doesn't work at all whether it's inside the magazine or just trying to find a keyword on the news feed.

 

[Morrus]

A wiki? As in software which allows multiple people to edit it and which hyperlinks words via markup to article titles?
