We are unveiling the much anticipated GetGlue for Android, a basic mobile web site, and a set of exciting stickers from our partners - Revision3, HBO, Showtime, Barnes and Noble, Universal, Thrillist, FEARNet and TV Squad.
GetGlue for Android
Since we launched GetGlue for iPhone, we’ve received an overwhelming number of requests from our users for the Android-specific app. You sent us dozens of emails and tweets. Sometimes friendly, and sometimes angry - where is the Android app. Well today, your wait is over - GetGlue for Android is now released and available in the Android store.
With the app users can check-in to their favorite shows, music, movies and books, and see what their friends are enjoying in real-time. Check-ins earn users points and stickers from GetGlue and major brands. The app also allows users to rate their favorite shows, movies, music and books and receive personalized suggestions. The main features of the GetGlue Android App are:
