    Android! I lost count of the +1s.

  2. Angie says:

    Android please!

  3. Ricardo says:

    Yes. Android, please.

  4. esteban says:

    Please! I need an Android training!

  5. Jason says:

    Any news on an Android app? Though the iPhone is still the top selling smartphone, Android is now the most popular phone operating system. I’m only on a trial membership right now, but if there was an Android app, I could easily get my company to pay for a subscription for me! I just don’t have time to sit at a computer to watch!

  6. Todd says:

    Android already. No brainer. More subscriptions. We will wait patiently while iphone I guess gets first accommodations as always (sigh)

  7. tom says:

    @Jason
    Have you tried using lynda.com on Android you don’t really need an app (at least not with 2.2)

  8. Carl says:

    Hi, when we’ll get this titles: lynda.com – Android Essential Training and lynda.com – Android Beyond the Basics?

  9. Alan says:

    Android app would be much appreciated – although it is possible to watch flash videos with Froyo (Android 2.2) they are much lower quality than the iPhone app.

  10. Phil says:

    Android? :)

  11. Phil says:

    Look at this

    On your Blog you asked the question “which of the following platforms are you hoping to write applications for?”

    http://blog.lynda.com/2010/11/22/flashflex-developer-poll-what-platforms-do-you-want-to-write-for/

    62% of the votes are for android, please get your app and training video out.

    Cheers!

    the normal site works on android 2.+ no need for separate apps just go to the web site. I don’t understand why people want stripped down apps… oh wait I guess it’s because iPhones don’t support full web sites… Maybe someday…

  13. Tony says:

    Pleeeeeaaaaase!!!!! Android app! the video is really shoddy when you browse to it on Android browser

  14. John says:

    Waiting for android app to view on my Tab…. Then I’ll subscribe. Come on lynda.com, keep up!

  15. Matt says:

    I am shocked there isn’t an android app.

  16. John says:

    Android App Please – Will still use web to also watch cause it works with Flash.

  17. Greg says:

    Jfro,

    apps are usually better set up and easier to navigate than the website. Plus I guess you’d have to use Flash in the browser, which would kill battery life. I’m guessing the iPhone app has smartphone optimized video.

    Put me in the camp that wants an Android app. I usually sign up for a month of lynda.com every now and then, but an official Android app could potentially push me to sing up for the yearly plan.

  18. James says:

    Android please! Phone and Honeycomb versions would be great!

  19. Trevor says:

    ANDROID ME WANT ANDROID APP!

  20. Kevin says:

    So many comments and yet they all seem to be met with silence. Lynda, step it up and get the masses their training on the platform they use. Android!

  21. Peter says:

    Just got a free months subscription from my Adobe registration. I’ll activate it when andoid is available, not before. PLease get the android up and running. Phil has a good point, the poll didn’t lie…

  22. sam says:

    When are we getting this android app … I’m getting very bored now :)

  23. harrymt says:

    Show me the Android app!!!!!! I want!!!

  24. Meletis says:

    Please android 3…. It seems that I cannot open the demo videos on the android 3 browser …

  25. Web Designer says:

    Also seeking the android app for my wife? We have subscription to lynda.com and would really benefit from standalone application.

  26. Drew says:

    Android too please!! :)

  27. joel says:

    Android Please – sooon! I hope. Tell me something

  28. John says:

    Do you have a release date for the Android app?

  29. Rob says:

    Can we get this Android App, it’s 2011

  30. Thomas says:

    I want a Android App, you get more customers then! It`s 2011

  31. jen says:

    Lynda – please come out with an android app! Viewing in browser on android is terrible quality and basically unusable. I am a paying member and would really appreciate this functionality.

  32. Damion says:

    We need a android app

  33. Soner says:

    It’s a shame for you to not having an Android app yet.

    lynda.com was supposed to have it ages ago!

    WE DO WANT AN ANDROID APP OF LYNDA.COM.

  34. lars says:

    what’s up lynda.com?

    so much for customer service – STILL no android app – really! ? ! ?

    just another disappointed paying member. . .

  35. Megan says:

    Android app please!

  36. Meletis says:

    Still waiting for an Android app… :(

  37. Jose says:

    Android app development training please!!!!

  38. Bill C says:

    It would be wonderful if you could please develop a lynda.com app for Android. I am a current subscriber to your training, and have attempted watching your videos on my Android phone via the web browser…it was very difficult to do. Not everyone has an iPhone or plans to own one. I also cannot have a laptop with me everywhere I go. I assure you that if you developed an Android app that you’d gain many more training subscriptions. I appreciate all you do, and thank you for hearing me out on behalf of Android users everywhere.

  39. Sean says:

    Came across this looking for an Android app for lynda.com

    Probably time to get this sorted?!

  40. Android User says:

    What is the status on the Android App? Can you please give us a timeline on this lynda.com?

  41. Anthony Adominguez says:

    For the love of God please make an Android app already.

  42. Kevin says:

    I have cancelled my account and sent a message to customer service saying that I’ll consider coming back when there’s an Android app.

    Lynda’s a great site but you can find a lot of other resources for free, I won’t continue paying for something when they’re unable to provide me with what I need.

  43. Thuy says:

    I’m greatly disappointed there’s no lynda.com app for android. Please have one out soon. And video training on android phone would be nice. I’m android naive. I’ve been a subscriber to lynda.com for 3 years. Thank you.

  44. Dave Walsh says:

    Its been over 18 months now since the iphone app made its debut, so where is the android version so many people asked for? Surely with all of these specialists in the area you have creating the videos for you, it is possible that you can tap into their skills and get a simple app together.

    It does appear like Lynda.com are seriously trying hard not to do this. Come on get with the game. Even your online vote for what platform people want to develop for has android at least double of that for apple and other competiotrs surely that says loads. People who want to develop for a platform surely most of them use it themselves.

  45. Ryan says:

    Soon to be over $1000 spent at lynda.com and still have yet to see an Android app. I’m seriously considering not re-subscribing.

  46. Please give us an Android App!!!

  47. bruno says:

    +1 for android

  48. b says:

    This is real bad. Claiming to have course on creating Android apps and we can’t have one here form the trainers..? Firefox and Opera on Android can’t access the videos and I needed this this weekend. Bummed. Will likely cancel go to Total Training or similar. These comments are a year old, so disappointed.

  49. Disappointed android user says:

    Seriously? How can a tech company that actually teaches the basic programming concepts for androids only offer an Iphone app? I love this site and have learned a lot from it. You guys need to offer an android app because another competitor WILL eventually sprint up and offer it. Other then that keep up the great work!
