Perhaps I’m confused now with a different topic but I just looked at the website.

It’s right there at the bottom, above News:

"GnuCash for Android

The GnuCash team recommends the GnuCash for Android app. This app allows you to keep track of your financial transactions on the go for later import into the desktop version of GnuCash.

Note that GnuCash for Android is not a port of the GnuCash program to Android."

There’s also a banner link to get it on the Google Play Store.

I would suspect people will be coming to the user mailing list looking for help with the Android app considering how this is presented, especially with getting data into the desktop version. Maybe the last sentence was intended to convey this but I would say it is not very clear.

Maybe something along the lines of it being an independent project and to seek help there would do the trick.

just my few ¢,
