Fresco for Android

[Karl5C91]

Come on Adobe. It's 2023, how do you not have android compatibility yet?

Come on Karl, there's heaps of responses to this question.
Our answers won't change no matter how many times different people ask!

Majority of people who respond on the forums are not associated with Adobe so we can't answer that question.

Adobe doesn't announce release dates, so they can't be held accountable for not releasing an app or update on a specific date.

There are many, many different versions of Android app so it's a lot more difficult to create an app for that platform.

That "UserVoice" is a dead end. Almost 800 votes, lots of angry comments, not a word from Adobe.

I understand your frustration with Adobe's lack of Android compatibility in 2023. It can be disappointing when a widely used software company like Adobe doesn't keep up with the demands of the ever-evolving technology landscape. While I don't have access to real-time information beyond my last update in September 2021, I can suggest a few possible reasons for this situation and potential alternatives:

1. Technical Challenges: Developing software for Android can be complex due to the wide range of devices, screen sizes, and operating system versions. Adobe might be working on ensuring a seamless experience across the Android ecosystem.

2. Prioritization: Adobe may be prioritizing other features or platforms based on user demand or business considerations. They may have plans to expand to Android in the future.

3. Feedback: Providing feedback through official Adobe channels or participating in user forums can help raise awareness about the demand for Android compatibility. Companies often take user feedback into account when making decisions about new features.

4. Alternatives: In the meantime, consider using alternative software or apps that are available on the Android platform for your specific needs. There are many powerful mobile apps for creative tasks, depending on what you're trying to achieve.

5. Stay Updated: Keep an eye on Adobe's official announcements and updates. They may release Android compatibility in future versions of their software.

Remember that software development can be a lengthy process, and companies like Adobe often have long-term roadmaps for product development. While it can be frustrating to wait, it's important to give them time to deliver a stable and functional Android-compatible solution.

Thanks for your elaborate speculations. My main point is this: "not a word from Adobe"

Speculations should not be necessary. If they actually care, why don't they just say how it is?

Like "nope, not gonna do it", or "working on it, done next year".
