I doubt that it will be, though.
At the moment it is only the iPad app that has the planner features, the iPhone one just has the guide plus remote record.
As it would seem that Sky is currently concentrating on tablets, then it makes some sense that it has not brought the features to Android yet.
Android may rule the smartphone market, but the iPad is still king when it comes to tablets. It sells more than all other tablets combined, and its share is actually increasing.
Fragmentation is also a far bigger problem with Android than iOS, due to a wide variety of hardware specs to cater for and a wide variety of OS versions to cater for. What specs should the app work be tested on? What OS version? Go for the
old yet still popular Gingerbread (57.5%)? Honeycomb, the first Android tablet OS (2.1%)? Ice Cream Sandwich, the first version to bring together phone and tablet (20.9%)? Or Jelly Bean, the latest version (1.2%)? (Android version distribution:
