About SteemiAPP
SteemiAPP is a simple to use Android app for Steemit users. You can check the upvotes you have received/given, your author/curation rewards as well as your upcoming payouts, all in one handy place (that needs redesign). The ultimate goal of SteemiAPP is to become a full app for everyone, with the ability to author posts/comments etc for Android, iOS and Desktops as well.
Development Tools:
Main app code is created with B4A, a commercial RAD IDE that allows rapid android app development. There is also a hint of HTML, CSS & Javascript on the "viewing posts" part of the app.
Why B4A and not good ol' Java?
B4A is using a simple Basic language implementation, that allows the developer to quickly create an Android app. Although it is Basic (which means is very easy to learn), it is also very powerful & modular. When compiling the code, B4A generates a native APK that has no difference from any other development method.
The codebase can be used with some changes in the company's other IDEs, to develop apps for iOS, Windows/Linux/Mac and -to a lesser extent- Arduino. This will allow me to have an iOS app as well, and keep both of them up to date & in sync relatively quick

How to contribute?
There's a huge need for a better UI and icons. If you can help out, get in touch by contacting me via email dev [at] steemi [dot] app.
You could also message me on Steemit.Chat (I'm also dimitrisp in there), but I'm not logging in very often.
If there is enough demand in the future, I could create a discord channel.
Changelog
Finally, I pushed r17 on Play Store. You should see an update on your device soon. Here is the changelog:
- Error messages will now show as messageboxes instead of toast notifications and will require user input to close (tap "OK" to continue).
- STEEM/SBD Price screen is now slightly modified
- Bug fix: App crash fetching posts from non-responding/busy API nodes
