As The Discourse Hub App looks a bit sad over on the Google PlayStore & looks quite basic for what it is,sadly i cant personally install it to explore its features on my more popular/reliable devices that have never let me down as they run Android 4.0x to Android 4.3 compared to modern devices 5.0 → 11.

Now i see on the Android Side there is a Beta Program For The App that can be joined but as the app only supports Android 5.0 and above the Android SDK Tag is basically to high to allow installation.

Is It Possible @codinghorror that this can be lowered enough to allow me to install it and in return i can join the beta program and supply private feedback to help bring its low score on the playstore up a bit as things can be worked on in the future.

Last Update was February 2020 however many changes have been implemented to the main discourse software itself since then yet i can still access discourse through a web browser just fine on these devices its a shame the app doesnt do the same.

Im sure others would also like to help with this also.
