We are experiencing crashes with Android versions old and new.

It is becoming too difficult to maintain this app due to the OS changes that are constantly being made by the Android community.

For more than a decade, we have offered this app without charge and without annoying ads. We financed its development for the first six years, and programmers in India have volunteered to update the code for the past five. Unfortunately, they are no longer able to maintain the app due to the COVID crisis in their country.

However, three years ago, we updated our website to accommodate all screen sizes, and ComputerLanguage.com works very well on small smartphone screens.

We hope you enjoy ComputerLanguage.com.
