The website is great! Is there an Android app? If not, is there one in the works?

Great to hear. I did not know we had talented members who made apps for us!

I think that info about apps is really old. I actually had the Apple app for PBS many many years ago and it was not updated and at some point it dropped off. It was somewhat okay for scanning ISBNs to match your WL but didn't function correctly for much else.
