You can download and install Banana Mobile for Android for free from the Google Android Play Store

Banana Mobile versions are an excellent support if you already have a desktop version and want to access your files from outside your office. These applications are constantly updated and improved.

With the mobile version of Banana Accounting you can quickly enter the transactions and control your accounting at any time! This mobile version is the porting for the desktop version, and is optimized for use on tablets, chromebook and "desktop mode", while on small screens the experience is limited, as they are not so suitable for the Excel-like interface.
 

Limitations of Banana Mobile compared to the Desktop version

Banana Accounting Plus Mobile resembles and makes available most of the features found in the desktop version. Some limitations are due to the touch  screen interface and the fact that Android makes fewer resources available than a Desktop device.
  • Cloud storage services other than Google Drive and Dropbox work in read-only mode.
  • Import - export functions from files are not available.
  • Multiple cell selection in touch mode is not available.
  • Copy and paste functions in touch mode are not available.
  • It is not possible to print data and create PDFs.

Access documents on the cloud from your Android

With Banana Accounting+ Mobile you can access to *.ac2 files stored on Cloud storage services like GoogleDrive, OneDrive, etc. Therefore you can easily share accounting files between your desktop and your mobile. What you just need is to install on your device the corresponding app from the cloud storage provider.

The available operations on the cloud storage services depends on their implementation of the Android Storage Access Provider API (SAF). If the implementation is complete  (like for GoogleDrive and MyCloud) you will be able to open, create and modify ac2 files with Banana Accounting+ Mobile. For other providers that doesn't fully implement the SAF, the available operations could be limited.

The following table shows you the available operations for the main Cloud storage services:
