Hi Lars,

Here is brief description of client possibilities:

In general android dhis2 client is an interface for some of the core DHIS2
functionality.
All forms are automatically downloaded from the DHIS2 server, stored in
device and presented to the user.
Because of the bad network coverage in some areas, client supports an
offline workflow, where app and its
data entry can work even outside network coverage, and the data is
submitted when there is network coverage available again.

Currently app supports next dhis2 functionality:
* Aggregate data entry
* Tracking events and programs (Currently only "single event without
registration" is supported)
* Users can modify their personal information and then submit it to dhis2
instance

- In order to cover wide range of devices, application supports wide range
of android os versions (2.3 - 4.3).
- Tablet version is adapted for big screens and provides more convenient
way to select forms and enter data. (Thanks to SlidingMenu library :) )
- Application supports four foreign languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese,
Indonesian.
