Periscope launches on Android

Two months after being an iOS exclusive, Twitter’s new live streaming service finally launches on Android. Periscope launched back in January following the release of Meerkat, which is a very similar service that uses Twitters login credentials.

Both apps are very similar, but the Android counterpart features a new control menu for notifications as well as a “return to broadcast” tab which will display after leaving the app if users go to do something else on the phone. Material Design also plays a big part on the Android app.

The new notification system also features a alert on the homescreen which will allow you to get back to the broadcast.

Periscope is available for download on the Google Play Store.
