Yahoo App On Android Receives U.S. Refresh

It was not too long ago that the Yahoo app on the iPhone received a brand new look, and having picked up a fair bit of great feedback from the community, it does look as though a similar refined as well as vibrant experience is set to arrive for Android users over in the U.S. In fact, the folks over at Yahoo have thrown in the likes of interactive features – and among these will include photo slideshows, community polls, and an image slider which would enable one to check out how photos transform right before one’s very own eyes, in order to turn the dozen digital magazines or so into an even more engaging experience.

For instance, one can swipe through a slideshow on Yahoo Politics that will feature compelling images from Iowa as America’s heartland comes closer to election year. Not only that, as you can see in the image on the right, one can discover Jennifer Lawrence’s transformation from beautiful actress to blue-skinned mutant as she takes on the role of Mystique in X-Men on Yahoo Movies, and this is achieved through a simple swipe of an image slider from right to left.

These engaging features will also be accompanied by the likes of the award-winning Yahoo Weather and Yahoo News Digest content, and if you have a penchant for the stock market, how about swiping over to the finance stream in order to find them at the top if you’re signed in? All Android users in the U.S. ought to make that update to the Yahoo app today in order to take advantage of the new features, and best of all is, it is a free download in Google Play.
