Google Helpouts Version 1.3 Adds Improved Listings, Referral Management, And More

Google’s burgeoning live how-to service, Helpouts, got a brand new version of its Android app yesterday, bringing it up to version 1.3. The service, for those unaware, pairs those who know how to do things with those who do not know how to do things, connecting the two over video. Those doing the helping can charge or offer their insight for free.

At any rate, the updated app offers users improved Helpouts listings, the ability to share Helpouts, refer friends, and manage referrals. Besides that, 1.3 offers Helpouts providers more tools to manage their listings. Providers can block users from inside the app, and can also switch on live help for their listings, both features that were once reserved for the web interface.

  

If you’re already a Helpouts user (or provider), grab the update below. If not, there’s never been a better time to check it out.
