Other Diaspora clients are developed using frameworks like AppCelerator Titanium. A native app will always be more efficient and almost certainly be faster and make better use of the resources of the device. + +### "WebApp" +It's a WebApp because at this moment Diaspora doesn't have an API that can be used to create a native interface to retrieve the user's data, publications, direct messages and so on, that's why there are only WebApps for Diaspora out there. +Why a WebApp is better than using the mobile site on a browser? Basically it provides better integration with the system (events coming into and going out of the app), notifications, customized interface and functions and a nice little icon that takes you directly to your favorite social network :) + +### System Requirements +The minimum version supported is Ice Cream Sandwitch, Android version 4.0.3 (or API 15) + +### Permissions +It requires access to the Internet and to external storage to be able to upload photos when creating a new post and for taking screenshots. + +- Download [APK](https://github.com/scoute-dich/Diaspora/releases) +- Watch [Changelog](https://github.com/scoute-dich/Diaspora/blob/master/changelog.mg) +- See [license](https://github.com/scoute-dich/Diaspora/blob/master/license.md)
