The Feed. Endless coverage looks, one question per swipe, free to play. It sits on the home screen right under Today's Drive. Eight more coverages, taking the library to 21. Cover 6, 2-Man, Palms, Cover 3 Cloud and Buzz, and more. Every board now tells you whether you are seeing the picture before the snap or after it. On post-snap boards, the defenders who moved show where they came from. Rotation questions now name the look they ask about, so the answer is recall instead of a guess. Fixed: in What's the Call, the winning route now attacks the side its explanation names. On iPad, the app runs full screen.
