This is an unofficial client developed just for the lulz. It's currently under development and should be used with that in mind. Please submit any bugs you might find.
It's released under GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see LICENCE).
It's "native" because it's developed in Java + the Android SDK (Android Studio). Other Diaspora clients are developed using frameworks like AppCelerator Titanium. A native app will always be more efficient and almost certainly be faster and make better use of the resources of the device.
It's a WebApp because at this moment Diaspora doesn't have an API that can be used to create a native interface to retrieve the user's data, publications, direct messages and so on, that's why there are only WebApps for Diaspora out there.
Basically it provides better integration with the system (events coming into and going out of the app), notifications, customized interface and functions and a nice little icon that takes you directly to your favorite social network :) For the moment, this app provides little aditional advantages
The minimum version supported is KitKat, Android version 4.0.3 (or API 15)
It requires Internet access and to be able to monitor changes in the network state.
