To comment on the application in the Google Play Store, you will need a Google+ account very soon, according to meticulous Android Police specialists.
Google recently updated its Play Store to version 3.10.9. It has not made any key changes. However, in his code, the Android Police portal journalist Ron Amadeo found interesting information. It turns out that soon (when exactly, it is still unknown) writing a review in the Play Store will require an account on Google+. Moreover, all reviews will be accompanied by the author’s name and his photo. If the user does not have an account, they will be denied the opportunity to write a review.
