Version 0.17: Beta MR9 (Early Access)
This is the ninth openly available release of the Oppia Android app. Anyone can opt into the beta program and install the app on their Android device via the Play Store. Burndown milestone: https://github.com/oppia/oppia-android/milestone/55.
This release brings a variety of significant crash and bug fixes, and a significant number of lesson fixes and improvements since the previous release (0.16) was unable to include any lesson updates from this year. Fortunately, all lesson changes (for supported topics) to date this year have been included in this latest release. Included in this release is an alpha (closed testing) version of the app for testing the following features:
- Spotlights.
- Multiple classrooms (only with math content for now).
- The new onboarding flow (for the parts complete so far).
As far new features for the beta version of the app, the 0.17 release includes flashbacks which introduce a much nicer experience when needing to review a particular concept in a lesson that may not be fully understood. This feature may not yet be available in all lessons in the app, but more uses of it will be added in the future.
