Reading and storing the data was the first large undertaking, but one that proved to be even a bigger challenge was making all the queries performant. With each click of the app, the SDK searches through over a million pieces of content, across various data points, in LIGHTNING fast times of under 100-200 milliseconds. You can read more about the challenges and details in the [SDK updates](#sdk) section below.

### LBRY Desktop - Deep Dive and Next Steps {#app}
|
||||
The release of [App E - Erikson](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-desktop/releases/tag/v0.34.0) is one of the biggest and boldest releases of LBRY yet - it comes packed with new features including a tag-based, customizable homepage, publisher ability to tag content, channel editing (simplistic first pass), first non-English language options (special thanks to the Polish and Indonesian translators - Madiator and Chris45!!), comments alpha (not decentralized -- stored on LBRY servers), option for support own/others’ content, short URLs (instead of the long string of characters/numbers after the #), a one click zipping tool for wallet backups, content sharing integration with [beta.lbry.tv](https://beta.lbry.tv), and a groovy loading animation. The release also includes a UI overhaul including a new sidebar, Overview page, Account/Settings menu, and light/dark quick switch. See, we told you the wait since the last update was worth it! Instead of content being curated by LBRY, the homepage is now driven by tags, channels followed, and the [Top/Trending ranking algorithms](https://lbry.com/faq/trending) using the LBRY protocol. This makes content discover an even playing field for all as the rules are out in the open, as opposed to YouTube’s hidden algorithms. Having the ability to see new content published on LBRY via the “New” option on the homepage is also a huge step forward as it showcases the new content being uploaded every minute.

### LBRY for Android Updates {#android}
|
||||
|
||||
Since our last update, the Android app has evolved from its alpha state and into a fully released Beta on the [Google Play Store](https://lbry.com/get#android)!!. The main new features include viewing content without saving files, horizontal scrolling on the homepage, channel profiles, wallet syncing/encryption, and redesigned first run experience. The first run experience revamp was also important as it introduced the cross device feature for new users, and also allow accountless access if needed (there’s an option to skip on the first screen). Being able to view content without saving it is super important, especially on mobile platforms, which is why we decided to implement our Range Request streaming solution here first (and let the Android devs work out the kinks!).

The latest release defaults to streaming mode, and does not have options for saving content locally yet nor can content be removed from the Library section after its streamed - both features to come in a future release. We also ditched the vertical browsing on the home page as horizontal scrolling is more intuitive and you can see more categories without having to scroll down 10 items.
