[GNC] Has the Android APP abandoned?

I am interested in an android companion app for gnucash. One that's based on 
the same core code as gnucash itself. Unfortunately this isn't the direction 
the current android app went (it couldn't at the time).
And even more unfortunately I don't have spare time to work on this.

Returning to the bit that said the gnucash website is promoting the android 
app - considering the android app seems to be abandoned, should we remove the 
reference from our website or at least indicate it's currently unmaintained ? 

Regards,

Geert
