The changes mean a design rethink and the inclusion of new functions really useful. We are going to tell you about them.
Regarding visual aspect, the application has embraced the spirit of Holo. It stands out for its minimalist aesthetics and for a navigation concept with the menus always accessible on side drop-down panels. It is what is known as Menu Drawer and it is located on the left, being able to access it with a simple gesture of dragging towards the center. This menu has all the necessary sections for management and enables constant direct access to them.
A menu at the top with the most common actions that we might want to do. These change depending on the section in which we are.
The new navigation approach also includes new features that we did not have before.
First of all, we have desktop access with a vision very similar to that of the browser version.
Second, we can see the site to get an idea of ​​what will reach readers. This is nothing more than a launcher for the browsers you have installed, but it is really necessary.
In third place, uploading images is easier. We cannot do it from the quick creation of entries, but if we go to the Desktop view and give it a new entry, we can easily include photos.
Finally, the loading of the sections and the posts is carried out in a faster, since in the memory data that propitiates it is saved.
