I'm new to Kbin, is there an official Android mobile app? If not is there a good alternative?

It costs $20m /yr to access the kbin API

There is an official app planned and some people are already working on third party apps, but they all require an API to be present (well, I guess they could get their data via webscraping, but that's a lot of hassle)

The API has no due data I'm aware of, ernest is probably swamped enough already.

The best you've got right now is using it as an unofficial web app. Go to the site and under the menu add it to your Homescreen. The rest will come with time.

You, my friend, you just made my day. Technically challenged here, and this simple solution is more than enough. Thank you so much.
