The problem is that I cannot find it in Google play. I can see that it is available in itunes.

I use an Android phone and would like to download and use this app.

Lyndidon,

Watch for the app in Google Play this week.

So much for the Genius. Incompatible with my Android device. Huawei M860 😞

Please see my review in the play store (see below). Another flawed effort on Android by Juniper again (the 1on1 app is truly flawed) - I can't comment on Apple devices but I suspect it's much better (hopefully) - I know Android fragmentation is a pig - but at least test a bit more - I'm sure there are ways to make an Android app that works on more devices with more effort and testing. It might be that you are replying on some 3rd party app that ports Apple apps to Android, rather than developing it by following Google guidelines and processes independently.

"Limited content and navigation issues More content soon please. Much better than the 1on1 app (which is so limited resolution wise to be useless) but pressing back in various places causes issues. And the drag down function in the question section gives options that don't work or you get stuck! Please please test these apps more, it doesn't reflect well on juniper. The screen grabs you have uploaded are on an emulator!! A colleague with a tablet can't see in the play store. How do you buy more content, some ui elements overlap etc etc!"

found the app in google play, but it won't install on my nexus 7

jshields, all,

If you have issues with JG on your device, please feel free to send me a PM with info about your device (Android/iOS version, handset model, etc) and the issue (won't install, display glitch, certain feature does not work, etc.) , along with screenshots if possible.  We will pass this info along to our app developer and get fixes into future releases.

Thanks, cheers,
