Digg, the social news aggregator, is now available as an app in the Google Play store now. Digg’s app showed up on iOS back in June when Digg launched their new aggregator service, Digg Reader, just days before Google Reader went down, giving users the chance to browse through Digg’s Top Stories and share them across several social media channels.
“Like the web version of Digg, the Android app includes up-to-the-minute stories from the Digg homepage as well as Digg Reader, all optimized for your Android device.”
When users Digg or save a story, they can send it to Instapaper, Pocket or Readability or share on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Tumblr, WordPress, Buffer and Dropbox.
The Digg team says they will continue to update the Android app over the next couple of months. Features like “Show Only Unread Items†view, text size and display mode options and background updating will eventually be added in future updates.
We can’t help but notice that the Android is a little late: when Digg Reader was launched on June 26th, Digg promised Android support 60 days later. At least it’s not like one of Google’s lies…
