 "Finally, Firstpost is on Android!")
Dear Readers,
Thank you for your patience, we are now on Android. You can download the app here.
When we look at our mobile web traffic it is clear to us that a large proportion of you accessing us on mobile use the android platform. Therefore we hope this app will give you ample reason to download Firstpost.
The android app focuses on a few key Firstpost strengths - breaking news and views, breadth, and depth.
If the iPad experience is about reading, the iPhone and Android experiences are about accessing as much Firstpost content as you want quickly and displaying it in the way that you want.
1)Infinite scroll: Since our launch on 9 May 2011 we have increased publishing exponentially. Therefore we are now displaying 100 or more stories per section. When you click through to a story you will see a summary, that will give you the meat of our view or post, such that you can quickly skip on if you wish.
- Searchwill also allow you dig as deep as you want into our content. And this is across

photos and videos as well. Progressive download will let you see more and more content across each page
3)My FP: We believe that if you’ve downloaded our app you like our content a lot. But we also know that your interests might be more across some verticals than others. Therefore in your android experience you will be able to build a frontpage of content that you like. Not only that, you can also look back at content that you might have searched for in the past or read before, in case you want to revisit an article.
4)Homepage archive: Similar to the iPad and iPhone you can view an archive of seven days to understand better the week’s homepages
5)Comments: Post, reply and like features of commenting are fully integrated into the android experience
Thanks for reading and using Firstpost!
