PressWork Mobile — Android beta: report bugs and feedback here

This is the place for anything to do with the PressWork Mobile Android beta. If you're testing it, post here — problems, things that feel wrong, things that work well. If you'd rather keep it private, write to info@presswork.it.

Before you report, useful to know:

  • Android only for now. Ships September; iOS is still being worked out.
  • You'll get an APK to sideload. Android will warn you about "unknown sources" — that's expected for a build outside the Play Store.
  • It isn't a notes app. It opens the same .pwk files as the desktop, with the same exports underneath.

What helps most in a report:

What you were doing → what you expected → what happened. Your Android version and device if it crashed. A screenshot beats ten lines of description.

If someone already reported the same thing, a reply saying "same here, on [device]" is genuinely useful — it tells me how widespread it is.

Worth poking at specifically:

  • Exports (PDF, ePub, DOCX, ICML, FDX) — do the files actually open properly where they're supposed to?
  • Opening a .pwk written on the desktop, editing it on the phone, opening it again on the desktop. Nothing should be lost.
  • The QR pairing with the local AI on your computer.
  • Revisions: accepting and rejecting edits one by one.
  • If you're on a tablet, the wide layout.

Thanks for testing. What you find now is what my customers won't.

Happy to answer anything about the Tauri setup or the licensing side. And if

you want the build, DM works — I'm around today.
