Version 5.7 is hitting the ay Store, bringing a more minimalist aesthetic, eye-popping colors, bigger buttons. You can now review your previous tracks even change whether a song was really worthy of that “thumbs up.” The play pause buttons also are persistent on the screen so you can quickly skip ahead to another selection. ile it looks great, the overall aesthetic looks more like iOS than Material Design. Another omission is that you still can’t play, pause, rewind, or advance the track from the app’s persistent notification. The update is rolling out in the ay Store, or you can grab the A if you’re so inclined. The impact on you: If you’re a regular ra user this is a nice upgrade.
