Expanding the Viddy Community

Designing a Mobile Video App for Android
“Google’s Android-based OS is a great technology but developing an optimal social mobile video app proved to be a complex process. Different form factors, different versions of the operating system, challenges in accessing hardware acceleration for editing were just a few of the hurdles,” said O’Brien. “Viddy is the only company to overcome these challenges and bring to market an app that provides a great user experience.”
With more than 1.3 million new Android devices activated each day, Viddy made it a priority to deliver a best–in-class mobile video app experience that maintained the intuitive design and user interface of Viddy for iOS, but still conformed to the myriad of Android smartphones and tablets. Viddy for Android app is optimized for some of the unique capabilities of the Android OS, but more importantly it provides users a great experience and easy way for them to easily create, beautify and share videos.
