[GNC] Android app - anyone use it?

[Boniforti Flavio]

Hi Rich,
didn't look at the version numbers and I doubt there is any reason to have
the version of the Android app (third-party - not affiliated at all with
GnuCash) matching the GnuCash versions.

As of today, I did as follows:
- copied my GnuCash file from my laptop to my Android phone;
- imported my GnuCash file into the Android app;
- added two transactions;
- saved/closed the file;
- exported the file (accounting book) in "GnuCash XML" format (compressed)
and sent it to my email;
- opened the resulting file in my GnuCash on my MacBook Pro;
- found the additional two transactions to be there and to be fine in terms
of accounts involved.

I don't know where to search for the indication that the data created in
the Android app can be imported back into GnuCash, but the above facts
prove that it is possible and it works without any issues (so far).

I'm still interested in knowing if anybody here is using it - and maybe
John Ralls even already had some interactions with the creator and
maintainer of the GnuCash Pocket app?!
