📱 The "Similar Worlds App" is now Available! (Android) 🎉

We are pleased to announce that Similar Worlds now finally has its very own 📱 Mobile App! 🎊

The Similar Worlds App can be found on the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.similarworlds
https://similarworlds.com/app

• The Similar Worlds App should provide users with all of the features of the regular browser/website version, but with an improved and streamlined experience on mobile devices.

• Currently, our App is only available for Android Devices, via the Google Play Store.

• We do intend to make an App available for iPhone/Apple Devices as well, but we currently do not have a timeline for the completion of this.
(It's a lot more complicated and difficult to have the App made and approved for the Apple Store.)

• To help our Similar Worlds grow, please do consider leaving Positive Reviews for the SW App, so that it can be seen by more new people, who may decide to give SW a try. 🌟

• Also, as always, please be courteous to others! Both existing users and newcomers alike.

SW App:

We have a lot more big improvements and new additions planned for this year, so stay tuned!

Thanks for the continued support!

Kind regards!
- The SW Team

Are you planning to add features to the app?
I would like the ability to open multiple pages and to refresh a page. If that's possible, then I would like to know how, please.

@Classified What do you mean with "open multiple pages" ?

To refresh a page, you can "swipe down" when you're at the top of that page.
(might depend on the device, but usually this should work)

@Nuno Unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

I meant multiple tabs, like your can do in a browser.

Nuno · Admin

@Classified Ah ok. Again it might depend on the device, but you should be able to:

1) hold the finger on a link
2) select "Open in a new Chrome tab"

I understand this will not open a new tab inside the app, but at least lets you open in a Chrome tab.
(most other apps don't even allow this at all, and we're always limited to 1 tab/view only)

@Nuno If I do as you describe, I can either share the link or copy the link. 🤔

I hope you'll still add features, because for now a browser is more convenient for me, I think. 😅

Also I'm not really a fan of Chrome, because I don't trust Google. 😬

Nuno · Admin

@Classified It seems that the app uses Firefox, because it's your default browser. Seems Firefox is what is giving you those limitations, so if you need those features, you'd have to make Chrome your default browser. I understand your position :)
At least you have a working solution!

Classified · M

@Nuno You guys are good. Firefox shouldn't be the default though. It's the DuckDuckGo mobile browser. Though I have Firefox too, maybe the app can't use DDG. 🤔

Thanks for letting me know. 😄

Nuno · Admin

@Classified Ah yeah, but DuckDuckGo might not be supporting the app, so it uses whatever else you have installed, that supports it :)

Classified · M

@Nuno Makes sense. At least it is good to know that it doesn't use Chrome
