Android and LJ

So I' trying out different Android clients for LJ. The official one is awful - it keeps flashing on my screen and I can't even sign in. This post is being written on LJBeetle which has the most editing options, and there's another client which offers friends page view and access to DW, (but I can't remember the name). I am going to be testing them today, so there may be a few more posts from me today that are Android related.

Android take two

So I'm testing various LJ/DW clients for Android, and so far I've discovered that the official one from LiveJournal is useless. It blinks when I open it and I can't even log in. Bye, Official Client!

The one I used next is called ElJay (I checked), and shows me my friends page (provided I keep the ads on), and a control bar so that I can style my post or link to a webpage or user (LJBeetle does the same). It also enables me to use different servers - LJ, DW, Insane Journal etc. That's actually pretty neat!

Trouble is, can't add tags that don't already exist or it crashes - I don't know why. Also, turns out that posting to different sites is not as easy as it seemed: it crashed twice when I tried to switch from LJ to DW. :( Let me try to see if I can add mood and music.

Nope, it crashes. Let's see if the same is true with this one.
