Android applications are developed specifically for Android OS devices and are available in the Android "Market", preinstalled on most Android devices, allowing users to browse and download apps published by third-party developers.
Beginning in September 2011, Linux Journal began offering a custom Android app. The app itself is free to all and includes one sample issue of the magazine as well as a constantly updated feed of news and stories. All paid Linux Journal subscribers also receive access to read their monthly issue from within the Android app as a part of their regular subscription.
