v2024.03.02.0108

NEW: Alpha builds available under Support > Beta Testing > Install Alpha App

In order to modernize our Android app and keep up with the latest Google requirements, we are working on a major upgrade to how the various UI elements in the app work. This should be a seamless change from the user perspective, but a lot of code has to be touched so there may be bugs introduced.

We are publishing an alpha build which applies the new UI framework to the video player and some other views around the app. If you would like to help us test, please update to latest beta then install alpha. It will install as a separate app you can switch to and try. Please report any bugs.
