The question that arrives most often, by a wide margin, is some version of “when Android?”. This post is the honest answer, and it will be kept up to date rather than replaced.
Where it actually is
Fitto AI is built with React Native, so the Android app is not a rewrite. The same code that runs the iPhone app compiles for Android already. That is the easy half, and it is done.
What remains is everything that surrounds the code:
- The Play Store listing is finished. Title, description, screenshots, the feature graphic, and every content declaration Google asks for — data safety, ads, target audience, health claims — are filled in and waiting.
- Closed testing is next. Google requires a new personal developer account to run a closed test with real testers before it will accept a production release. That is a fixed waiting period, not a queue that can be skipped.
- In-app purchases need wiring. Credit packs are priced in the Play Console, but purchases run through a different billing stack on Android than on iOS. Until that is verified end to end, buying credits would be a broken button, and a broken button is worse than a missing one.
Why there is no date
A date on a marketing page is a promise. Two of the three items above sit with Google rather than with me, so any date would be a guess dressed up as a commitment. When the production release is live, the “coming soon” line on this site turns into a Google Play link automatically — the site is wired so it cannot say one and mean the other.
What Android will get on day one
Everything the iPhone app does today, because it is the same app:
- Photo, barcode, voice and typed logging, with barcode scans free.
- The same credit packs, with no subscription.
- Streaks that count logging rather than eating less, freezes, ranks and milestone credits.
- Adaptive meal reminders that move to the times you actually eat.
There is no plan for an Android version with fewer features or a different price. Feature pages describe one product.
If you are on Android now
Nothing to sign up for, and no email list to join. Watching the blog or Instagram is enough — this page changes on the day it ships, and so does every “coming soon” line on the site.
If there is something specific you want the Android build to handle, send it over. Decisions are still cheap at this stage.
