Can I view a presentation from an Android?

SlideRocket presentations can be viewed from Android phones when connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
SlideRocket support for Android devices is currently limited. The Android player takes a snapshot of each slide and plays the presentation without videos, audio, transitions, and builds. Viewers need to click to advance to next slide.
Analytics will be recorded for each view just as they are when a presentation is viewed on a computer.
SlideRocket offers much greater support for iPhones and iPads. For more information on SlideRocket’s iPad App click here.

The combined topic link does not work!
It says it might have been deleted.
Do you have an update on Android?
I am sure you know if you are working on it.
Thanks

Hello, We'd like permission from the people in this post to combine this feature request with this similar request here. Thanks!
Well I looked into this further and even finally spoke to an Android developer who told me not to hold my breath. Seems the problem is that even though Android is open source their support for HTML 5 and various 3rd party browsers, changes with every release. Apparently this is making it very difficult for developers to plot a single path and support it like they can with Apple. In other words, Google is blame here, not Sliderocket. Bummer

I just started using SlideRocket. It seems like a real winner! I've actually moved away from iOS to Android. Android is in use 3.6 to 1 vs iOS. It would be nice to have a stable app for Android. I would assume this is being developed. Hopefully soon?
please please please give us an android app! i love sliderocket
Hello anyone?
...just us crickets, the silence is deafening on this topic
Yes . . . very much looking forward to an Android option! Thank you.
Please add Android, as it will be a great asset to have!
It's been a while since we've heard from anyone at Slide Rocket concerning the development schedule of an API that works with Android. Since Android's future is secure now with best sellers from Samsung and Nook to Kindle Fire and Nexus it does leave me a little perplexed why it's taking so long. Is anybody at Slide Rocket in touch with this market, or is still about Apple iPad in 2013?
We need Android support too
Huge disappointment!!! Android phones and android tablets are far more prevalent than apple, and an android tablet is under $100. Very useful to have a cheap tablet a a presentation tool while I complete my business using my I-Pad!
Get Smart Slide Rocket and support Android!
This is a limitation of Android not SlideRocket. I have been looking for a solution for my sales reps to use Android/iOS tablets to show presentations to our customers. You could export your presentation to a video format supported by either OS in the short term (good alternative for offline viewing). As much as consumers and early adopters love these fantastic devices, the reality is that it will take time to prepare the APIs to bring full functionality.
Yes, this is a serious shortfall with opting for SlideRocket when it promotes itself as the premier online presentation option as Android has become the major smartphone OS. Is something in the works to address this problem?
