No plans for an Android version?

Not currently. As I mentioned elsewhere, the rotating black hole version that we implemented requires GPU code, and porting that to Android is nontrivial---though we'd love it if someone took our open-source code and ported it!

In the meantime, check out this code developed by Dominic Chang (grad student at Harvard) that implements lensing by a non-rotating (Schwarzschild) black hole in your browser: https://dominic-chang.com/bhi-filter/
