[Marco Cevoli <marco.cevoli@xxxxxxxxx>]

A little effort in starting an Android app was done in the past. I thought
I could - at least - help with the mockup design, but couldn't work on it.
If you think your students can go down that road, this is the starting
point:

Having an app would really be a nice addition to Zim!

Kind regards,
