Nova Launcher v5.5 beta (finally) brings adaptive icons support

-
Image
One of the best features Android Oreo bright was the adaptive icons in which developers can make different icon shapes so that the user can choose one according to his like our dislike. Yesterday, Nova Launcher v5.5 came up on Play Store with adaptive icons support. At this moment, I don't think they are working well and are a little bit buggy. By default, they are turned off in the launcher settings.   There are almost only the Google apps supporting the feature with some few others. For those apps, Nova intelligently changes the background with the primary colour of that icon. I don't know if they support only default icons or different icon packs too because on my phone, only when icons are selected to system, the feature works. Anyway, if you also want to give it a try, you can sign in as a beta tester for Nova launcher or install the APK file from the link given down below. Nova Launcher 5.5-beta1

Google with Play Store has always tried something new for an effective way for us to get a review of any app or game. Play Store v7.4 is showing a 'top features' column when viewing an app review. In games review, as you can see in the above photo, ratings has been divided into three parts - Gameplay, Grafics and Controls.  In apps review, top features ratings are given by its own. Also the system of rating a game has been changed. Now, you have to give it an all over rating, Gameplay rating, Controls rating and Grafics rating. These are the new changes in the Play Store v7.4 as seen by me. If you see another new features, please tell me by leaving a comment.
