More_than_20.jpg

This year we started working on a new functionality, and in the near future we will present you the updates.

In parallel, the work was started in many directions: faster browsing, videos, image galleries, push notifications. (See the full list in the bottom of the post.)

We hope you'll love new features in this update too. And yes, stability is the king. The number of crashes in Steepshot app on Android decreased by 80-90%!


Logos

We present an updated logo. It looks smoother and friendlier.

Ok, let's talk about what was done in January with regards to the Android app:

Steepshot Android app

New Tab Bar

Power of Like around the Avatar

If you go to the Google Play Store, you will see on the second slide, the words "Power of Like".

It works like mana in online games. Each time you press the heart button, you spend a part of your voting power. It is constantly rebelling (recharging). The value of each of your likes depends on the Power of Like and your amount of Steem Power combined.

Do not regret giving your Like Power to someone, but think who is more worthy of it!

Power of like on the profile page:

Click on the avatar to display the current amount of power in % of the max value:

List of Likes

The "List of Likes" screen displays the amount of money next to each user showing to you who your supporters are.

Timer on the button "Publish photo"

There's a blockchain level restriction of 5 minutes between posts. We've visualized that restriction in Steepshot UI. Now you will always know how much time remains until the moment when you can publish the next photo.

Delete, edit post options

Yes. It works. Now you can delete or correct text to your photo directly from the application.

Now it's even more convenient to use the web version on mobile devices.
