shbullet for Android is getting a makeover, a big one at that. The popular application that makes sending receiving notifications even files between your computer Android devices has been revamped with both form function in mind. 

The new design allows for even better functionality, starting with the devices you send content to your friends. The new interface is streamlined straightforward, uses “cards” that feel similar to Now. It also includes new home lock screen widgets.

A few new features include content filters when selecting a specific phone or tablet in your Stream tab list, or, if you want to get less specific, you can now also broadcast notifications to every phone or tablet in linked to your account. The latter of which should be incredibly hy if you need a specific item on all of your devices, as you’ll only need to push it once. 

shbullet itself had already garnered quite a bit of attention, but this latest update is a big step forward for the service, shows a lot of maturity. 

I reached out shbullet co-founder, Oldenburg, where he explained the focus goal for this update.

“The goal of this update was to get the app’s interface to a level that we can grow from for the foreseeable future. eviously, it was a catch-all inbox without any way of filtering or finding things quickly got hard to use for many people that share a lot of things between devices & friends.

“’ve worked to fix this shortcoming in this update by making both the content of push more accessible (cards), having the ability to see conversations/streams shared with specific people or devices.

“This gives us a great foundation for the next features we want to add which include group support. thout the ability to filter even see your groups, it wouldn’t make much sense. Now, with this update, we’ve made that possible.

“I think of this update as a sort of ‘growing up’ into a larger service.”
