  • Now playing detects the songs your phone hears in its vicinity and can identify them on your locking screen.

Sometimes when it rains, it spills. While we analyze the updates of Android applications for evidence of development changes, it may really seem that it is the choice of the concessionaire (or should we say, the developer), and it can be weeks or months before finding us to review a specific feature.
