Hello! I'm new to F@H and was poking through the third party tools section when I came across this. I'm very interested in using it but it seems I can't as my Android is a newer version that is not compatible with the app. I was curious if you had any plans to bring the app up to speed for this version?

FAH version 8 just uses your web browser and works with mobile browsers.
An Android app is not needed.

@calxalot Yes but how to actually download & install it on Android?? Even if web browser is frontend, surely there must be an app install requirement for backend at least?

Re: Folding@Home Client Control Android App
There is no install involved in using the control function, it just connects through a browser window to a F@h server to run Javascript code. No client code would get install on Android, that is not supported for folding. But the web app can be used to control folding on other systems such as Windows, Linux, or macOS.
