A long time ago on a Samsung Galaxy phone far, far away... there was the first EPL App for Android devices. Today we are excited to announce that on Monday, May 10 there will be A New Hope and a new app update for Android! This update is available for all devices supporting Android Nougat 7.0 or later.
