What's New?
Lots of little things. The most obvious is the animation that plays when you tap and drag down on a list of news articles to refresh it. Before it showed the same dialog box and horizontal refresh bar that we've seen for a couple of years. Now that same gesture will "pull" down a circular refresh icon that spins as it falls, coming to rest on the tab's circular icon as it "fires.
" Neat.
Tablet screenshots (above) show version 3.3. Phone shots (below) show 3.3.1.
Other than that, the pop-up cards that appear to inform and/or annoy you about new features have been redesigned with solid colors, the background for the search page has been switched to the newer, thicker magnifying glass icon, selections on the hamburger menu now appear in thematic blue, and for some reason the option to view only downloaded items in the My Library view has moved from the drop-down menu to the side menu.
More blue!
More bold!
Even more blue!
...and a switch that's been moved around.
