The app that used to be called WLED Native is now the official WLED app, so the docs describe it under a name it no longer uses, and compare it to an older official app that is gone.

The App Store listing confirms it is the same app renamed: the ID in the docs today (id6446207239) is the same ID as the current wled-official-app listing.

  • The FAQ entry comparing the two apps is removed. There is only one app now, so there is no difference left to explain.
  • The remaining mentions link to the App Store and Google Play listings, with the repositories given as sources.
  • Two "Source" links on the landing page had an extra pair of parentheses inside the link target, so they 404ed. Fixed while in those lines.

The repositories themselves are still named WLED-Native-Android and WLED-Native-iOS, so those URLs are unchanged.

basics/getting-started.md also uses the old name. That is covered in #360 to keep the two from conflicting.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated references from “WLED Native app” to the WLED app.
    • Clarified Android and iOS app names, source links, and community attribution.
    • Added official app links with automatic device discovery details.
    • Removed an outdated FAQ comparison.
    • Corrected a contributor credit typo.

The app formerly called WLED Native is now the official WLED app, so the
docs described an app that no longer goes by that name and an old app that
is gone.

The FAQ entry comparing the two apps is removed, since there is only one
app now. The remaining mentions link to the App Store and Google Play
listings, with the repositories given as sources.

Also fixes two Source links on the landing page that had an extra pair of
parentheses inside the target, so they 404ed.

Poem

A rabbit checks each page,
WLED apps take the stage.
Android, iOS links align,
Old app names leave the line.
Thump, thump—the docs now shine!
