How to use the Beta App via Google Play ?
==================================
Join the following Google Group:
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/owncloud-news-android-app
there you can find a link (after I accepted you in the group) to Google Play for registering as beta tester of the app.
FAQ:
==================================
The app shows an empty Toast when trying to sync or sign-in (little dark box at the button of the screen)
- Make sure you're using the latest version of the news app and the appframework from GitHub. Otherwise you can use the Android version <= 0.3.3 (via Google Play or GitHub <a href="https://github.com/owncloud/News-Android-App/commits/master/News-Android-App.apk">Choose version</a>).
