Swipe through a mix of lists, comments, trending and anticipated movies and TV shows by genre or by streaming platforms.
*Explore*
If the horizontal rails are not enough, you can Explore even more thanks to a brand new "infinite" Grid view.
Those grids are available for each rail in the new Browse section but also for each Standard and Custom Lists you can open in Rippple.
*Customize*
You can now change Rippple’s tint by choosing amongst 12 colors to match your style.
Beautiful inside and out: choose between 83 — yes 83! — app icons.
You’ll find a lot of colourful and monochrome alternatives to the iconic Rippple Splash icons and a new set of minimalist ripples.
