Periscope comes to Android…..after Meerkat

It’s been awaited for long but free ‘live’ video streaming app Periscope has finally arrived on Android. Making the announcement, owner Twitter said: As a small startup, our initial launch was limited to just iOS, but we’ve been working really hard to craft an experience that feels special on Android, yet still unmistakably Periscope. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Periscope on Android.
The Android version, though, comes almost a month after rival Meerkat launched on Android.
 
Android owners using Version 4.4 (KitKat) & above can download Periscope from Google Play. Periscope on Android has all the same core features that Periscope iOS has: start a public or private broadcast, choose to allow comments from just those you follow, and interact with a broadcaster by chatting or sending hearts.
But there are also a few things that are unique to the Android app:
  • The application features a Material-inspired design that should feel familiar but modern to Android users. 
  • Users also have granular control over additional Push Notification settings, such as “First Time Broadcast notifications” (when somebody you follow on Twitter broadcasts on Periscope for the first time) and “Share notifications” (when somebody you follow on Periscope shares somebody else’s broadcast).
  • Periscope on Android offers you a “Resume notification” so you can keep watching where you left off in case your broadcast gets interrupted (by a phone call or message)
