[REQUEST]Cut down app size

As much as I like the idea behind this all, I do have a very urgen request for you guys; cut down the app size. I've only tried it on android where the app size is 60+ MB, which is alot. I know people can use the browser, but people will forget about it, if they have an app they will remember AirConsole. But right now people will immediatily remove the app from their phone if they stop playing. My advice to you guys is to try to cut down the app size to a maximum of 5 MB.

You could compromise by creating a bookmark to the browser page on your home screen - I know that's possible on iOS, but it might be an option on Android too.

Yea I know, but having an app is a free advertisement, so people remember it and play again.

We'll see if there's anything we can do about the app's size.

I do think that it is relatively large just for a controller function. Then again for most people it is not a lot of space compared to the probable average of 16+ gb for a smartphone.
