This morning we pushed a release to Android which contained several fun new features.
  • Most notably, we've enhanced sharing! Highlight an interesting fact from an article and tap "Share" in the overflow menu to create an image which can be shared to social networks and other platforms. Did you know the University of Manchester is the largest single site university in the United Kingdom? You do now!
  • We've added featured article and search widgets. Long press on your home screen to bring up the widgets menu.
  • We've enabled caching of pages on internal/external storage. This should significantly reduce memory usage and reduce the frequency of "out of memory" crashes.
  • We made miscellaneous design tweaks, bug fixes, crash fixes, and translation updates. Thanks translators!
Also, we've been getting a lot of five star reviews today. ;-)

Nice work, team!
