Hi folks,

We released a new version (0.2.3) of the Android Matrix Console application today - this is a decent upgrade over 0.2.2. Changelog below.

If you're an Android user, please install the app from the Play Store and give it a go and give us some feedback on #android:matrix.org or Google Play.

thanks!
