Redbox app for Android updated with a new UI and better filtering, no Instant streaming yet

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/23/redbox-android-app-update/)

The official Redbox app for Android hasn't seen many changes since it was [first introduced early last year](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/16/redbox-now-has-an-app-for-android-updated-app-for-iphone/), but that's changing with version 3.0. Now available in Google Play, it brings a new look that should make browsing a bit easier, plus enhanced filtering (you can sort Blu-ray discs by genre) and the ability to sort by date or alphabetical order. Finally, support for push notifications could mean unsubscribing to those weekly texts for coupon codes, and users report you can now input the coupon codes in the app while making reservations. We poked around but could find any references to its [Instant streaming service](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/24/redbox-instant-enters-alpha-testing-with-help-from-verizon/), so there's at least one thing to expect for the next update. Android powered kiosk renters can grab the app at the source link below.
