Twitter's Live Streaming App Periscope Arrives For Android

Two months after iOS launch, Twitter owned live streaming app, Periscope is launching for Android.

Apparently, the Android version closely resembles Periscope on iOS, but also incorporates design cues from Google's Material design.

The app also includes recent updates in iOS, i.e, the ability to hide comments in broadcast.

Periscope for Android offers more control over the kinds of notifications you receive - you can toggle when someone you're following starts streaming, when someone shares broadcast, when someone follows you or when a Periscope newbie broadcasts for the first time.

The Android version of Periscope arrives just weeks after rival Meerkat arrived on the platform.

"When it comes to user base, it's less clear who's winning. Twitter announced in late April that Periscope snagged 1 million users during its first 10 days of availability. Meerkat founder and CEO Ben Rubin, meanwhile, revealed earlier this month that his app was approaching 2 million users," Mashable noted.
