Android also has the updated app.

It seems not much has changed since the beta version, and it's still poor.

I’m very glad they ditched the horizontal swiper section for top stories from the Beta version which had the effect of hiding most of the main stories.

I don't recall seeing the BBC News globe graphic on this red-to-black gradient before (the gradient matches that used on the app's splash screen):


A sign of things to come?

I suspect more likely is it’s just another rogue element of BBC News’ Frankenstein mish-mash of branding styles. I’ll admit though, it looks quite nice.
