Hello, My accountant does all my Vat submission so I don't understand what is Making Tax digital. Could you explain it in a few sentences, please? and why I may need this app.

Heh, OP's comments history is 3 entries long, 2 of them are comments on his own submissions for similar apps (related to invoicing, a video and a link to the Android app store), but both links lead to deleted content.

This track record... does not convince.

Its a fact that the Android version is currently un available. The arrival of MTD mandated a massive redesign, and having gained zero traction on the Android platform, I decided to focus on Apple IOS where traction for my other APPS is 10 X the equivalent on Android.

This is a BETA, once the bugs are ironed out, and the GUI is finalised, and there is a full release on APpp store, work will resume on the Android version which will be a direct port of the IOS version

MTD is a project by the UK tax office that means they no longer provide a way to submit VAT returns manually and you need to use an app that interacts with their API.

Wasn't it digital before? By saying manually, wouldn't people just use HMRC's website to submit VAT information. Which I understand will be deprecated now?

I believe it’s already deprecated (haven’t checked as I used FreeAgent since long ago and they handled it for me).
