yes. its an android and ipad/iphone app mate 
It basically turns the forum into a more basic version like text messaging, makes everythign really basic and easier to navigate. it has had a few upgrades recently though which havent done it any favours, as it has lost some features (such as editing posts).
Anyway, waterless washes and "being lazy". If thats your thing, and you just want to make it quicker/easier to wash your bike? the answer to your problem lies in sealants. we are not talking turtle wax here, but more modern day nano-sealants. these generally come in two flavours (hybrids aside) - long life, and short life.
Life is compromise however, and the really "long life" sealants, which purportedly last around 6-8 months (possibly longer if you dont do many miles), the flip side to this is that you generally need to correct paintwork before application with a machine polisher (or at least give it a good hand polish/cleanse/detox beforehand). application can also be fussy and troublesome, so its not for everyone. it does however give the vehicle impressive beading and sheeting properties which helps stop water sticking to the paint (and in turn - stops dirt sticking) so it makes your washes a lot easier.
The alternative option to this is shorter term sealants, which tend to only last from 4-5 weeks to maybe 2-3 months at most. these in turn are not so fussy to apply, and some do not require as much preperation to the paintwork (you only need to detox and cleanse the paint). they have the same effect as long term sealants, just simply dont last longer.
One product i mention a lot (wth good reason) is hydro2. made by a company called carpro. to seal the paint with this you just apply through a spray gun to a wet bike (after you have just washed it) and rinse off excess with hosewater - thats it. the downside to this ease of application is this product does only tend to last around 3-4- weeks so you need to apply it every few washes to top it up. it definately makes keeping it clean easier though
Some food for thought for you anyway.
