The Android application for WordPress has been rebuilt from the ground up. Now, the app's user interface is based on Material Design for Android 5.0 Lollipop. The entire color scheme of the app is very blue and WordPress debuted new icons. The button to compose a new post (seen above) is identical to what Gmail, Google+, and other stock apps have. Furthermore, WordPress has a new grid layout for the Media section. This means that it is much easier to see all of the saved media on a site. And comments can be auto-completed when typing the name of another user on the site.

Here is what WordPress says is included with the version 3.5 update:

Material redesign and overall redesign (round avatars, new icons, color scheme update)
Mentions auto-completion in comments (start typing “@username” for the username of another user on your blog, within a comment area)
New grid layout for Media Library on tablets
Fetch blog visibility status on first login
Bug fixes
