Thus, above these comments, there is now a series of bubbles that extract adjectives, nouns, and expressions from all of them.
Just go to the bottom of the description page of an application, game or any other content to find these bubblesIt could be understood as a redundancy of what is already in the content section, but it is a good summary to see what opinions and expressions match users who have already tried it.

Or, more specifically, when accessing television content.
Although the media Android Police attributes it to a bug or possible failure , a new animation has been discovered to display the contents as TV series on the screen.Something that gives dynamism to the application and a much more modern, agile and fluid appearance It consists of seeing how the icon of a television series goes from its small size and quadrangular format until starring in the cover image of its description page in a large size and in panoramic format. All this transforming itself into a large red dot that moves from its initial location to the commented space on the cover, as can be seen in the video. A visual detail that not everyone will be able to enjoy.
