<p>Long popular on the NewsBlur web app, the Grid view has now come to the Android app. Have a look for yourself…</p>
<figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="1270" data-orig-width="800" data-orig-src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.newsblur.com/blog/android-grid-black.png"><img style="width: 350px; margin: 0 auto;" data-orig-height="1270" data-orig-width="800" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.newsblur.com/blog/android-grid-black.png" /></figure>
<p>Theres even a wide and narrow grid view for ultimate customization. And the grid view is saved per-folder/feed, so you can change some folders to use the grid view while leaving others in a list view. And gestures work on individual grid tiles, so you can swipe to mark stories as read/unread while in the Grid view.</p>
<figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="670" data-orig-width="800" data-orig-src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.newsblur.com/blog/android-grid-white.png"><img style="width: 650px;margin: 0 auto;" data-orig-height="670" data-orig-width="800" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.newsblur.com/blog/android-grid-white.png" /></figure>
<p>Heres a full list of the changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>The grid view comes to Android. Each feed/folder has its own List view setting</li>
<li>Can scroll all the way past the last story (for marking-read while scrolling through story list)</li>
<li>Fix for Twitter videos</li>
<li>Fix crash for viewing muted feeds</li>
<li>Long press links and images without tags</li>
<li>Better login screen for very small devices</li>
<li>Improved efficiency on thumbnails</li>
<li>Story list position retained on rotate</li>
<li>Android 8 compatibility fixes</li>
<li>Color-blindness-friendly intelligence training</li>
</ul>
<p>And for those of you using the Amazon App Store, the NewsBlur Android app has been updated there as well.</p>
