Three new platform views have been added that much more closely resemble the Big Box experience on the desktop; we now have wheels and a new BannerBox-style platforms list (thanks to Faeran)
Two new game views have been added as well, including one with wheels
The app's theming has been completely overhauled with a dark theme that better matches the rest of the interface
Imports are now very fast, because LaunchBox does not download all media during the initial import process; instead, media is now downloaded as needed. This can be turned off in the Options menu.
A new option to "Download All Missing Media" is available for each platform; this will allow you to download everything for the platform all at once, if desired
Games can now be favorited, which will optionally put them first in the game lists
LaunchBox now defaults to using a new folder in the root of the SD card (priority) or in the root of the internal storage instead of Android's default location
The LaunchBox folder can now be easily changed to a different folder via the Options screen
Compatibility with the Nvidia Shield TV has been improved by using a LaunchBox folder inside of the NVIDIA_SHIELD folder in the root of external storage instead of trying to use a LaunchBox folder directly in the root
LaunchBox for Android is now free for use with less than 100 games; a new licensing system based on our desktop DRM-free licensing will unlock an unlimited number of games
