Greetings testers! 
I have lots of different updates listed in this email and I am sure you have at least some of these apps on your Android phone. 
But there is also something that will affect almost everybody - a new UI that is rolling out on Google Play at this moment. It is less friendly but faster so it is hard to say now if it is a positive or a negative change. Unless you miss a tab for Beta apps that in fact, was never working properly so I haven’t used it much. What about you? 🤔
What’s new?
