Boid for Android

Introduction
Boid is a Twitter software application designed specifically for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Like other clients, it uses Twitter's API to allow users to perform operations that are available from Twitter's web interface. Since its first alpha release on March 4, 2012, its use has grown significantly. The developers are Aidan Follestad, Phil Oakley, Graham Macphee, Federico Zubani), Zach Rogers. The project was started with Mike Stevens, but Mike left after around a week. This was before its first release in the Google Play Store. Aidan Follestad had been working on "Peeper" for Android that would have been an Ice Cream Sandwich Twitter client, but Phil invited Aidan to join Team Boid. The entire team is very young; all members are around 17 years old. Boid was conceptualized by Philip who later contacted Graham to see if he was interested. The pair then opened the offer to join the team on Twitter and received responses from Mike and Federico. The four developed designs and enrolled Aidan as the lead developer.
User Interface
Boid was designed to fit in with devices running Ice Cream Sandwich. The developers followed Google's design guidelines.
