Everything You Need to know
The Beta 4 update comes with a brand new logo and a smoother UI. It was a clever addition indeed. The developer team removed the end-screen transition effects making it lighter and faster to switch between multiple homescreens.
You would have observed two sections i.e (Frequent and Recent) in the default homescreen in the Beta 3. But, it has been merged into one which shows the user only frequent apps used. So, it helps a user in faster access of favorite apps.
Users requested to add transparent nav bar support, and it’s here with beta 4 update. It seems like the Arrow team cares a lot for its user demands. The app drawer is smoother with a “Recent” app section showing the recently used apps. And, it tags the newly installed apps as “New” in the app drawer itself. Prior to the update, the recent apps and frequent apps were displaying incorrect results. So, that has been fixed.
No major bugs discovered so far. But, it’s sure that beta 5 update will be more interesting.
You can get the beta 4 update on APKMirror.
