RunKeeper for Android gets Material Design makeover

RunKeeper wants to be more in tune with Android’s general look and brought Material Design over to its app. Version 5.3.3 of the app sticks to Google’s new guidelines. They’ve added bits of animation and brighter colors as well as organized information into cards. The activity list has been separated into its own cards. Details like length of the trek, time spent, and calories burned are all enumerated there and are seen on a large Google Map. Friend tabs are now shareable, too. RunKeeper said the aesthetic update doesn’t just make it look better but makes the app run faster, too.

Twitter begins testing of autoplay videos, ads included

Twitter has finally begun testing autoplay videos in user timelines. But they’re reportedly working on a small percentage of the user base at the moment. Except for Vine videos, all videos will start autoplaying, including video ads. Facebook began autoplaying videos about a year and a half ago and that boosted video uploads and consumption on the social network. It looks like Twitter is hoping to replicate that. There’s no word yet when the widespread rollout will happen. Watch your timeline though. You should be seeing more animated tweets soon.
