Nomad, formerly known as AndHub, is an Android app for Hubzilla, only available on F-Droid. It is currently the only existing app for Hubzilla.
Unlike most other Fediverse apps, Nomad is a Web app. Instead of providing a native Android UI for everything, it embeds a view of Hubzilla's Web interface and integrates it into the system. This way, Nomad can easily cover all of Hubzilla's many features. In addition, it has various shortcuts to some pages on the Web interface.
Nomad only supports one account, but the Web interface still grants access to all channels on the account. Still, switching to another hub to access clones requires logging out and back in.
By using Hubzilla's native Web interface, Nomad also provides access to not only moderation, but administration features if they're available on the active channel.
The latest release version is 0.8.16 from October, 2019. Nomad has been abandoned since then. It has been reported to no longer work on more recent versions of Android, but it continues to work on Sailfish OS via Aliendalvik. That said, Hubzilla itself can be installed as a Progressive Web App on operating systems which supports them.
