Hello Daryl,

 AI>> I use Aftershock myself when I am on the road, mostly for
 AI>> netmail. I have used Hotdoged also and find it works quite well
 AI>> for the most part. I find the buttons are OK. I'm not sure those
 AI>> apps can be dumbed down anymore than they are. To use those apps
 AI>> a fella has to have a pretty good grasp of how FTN works.

 DS>   Just for grins, I looked in the Google Play store, but didn't see an
 DS> actual program with that name. What should I look for?? I have a Moto
 DS> Android phone through Verizon.

I have AfterShock and HotdogedED Editor.

I find that AfterShock is the easiest to use. I had to pay roughly $1 for it and have been a happy user for a few years now. AfterShock only allows 1 boss node so you can only join one network. I use it for Fidonet.

HotdogED allows more than one net and has a lot to configure. I have fido and one othernet setup with it. You'll also need the HotdogED Fidonet Provider or HotdogED NNTP Provider as the transport for it. I use the Fidonet provider and find that works well. I suppose the NNTP Provider works well too but I have never tried it.

I hope you can find those in the play store. If you have questions about those fell free to send them my way.. :)

 Ttyl :-),
