Google Play Store now shows edit history on user reviews. Was it used to show that before? Also UI of reviews section is revamped.

Same features were available before as well.

Where is my train used to be an awesome app for checking the availability of seats and PRN status with prediction about confirmation. Now the app just redirects to the official railway site CRIS for the same and is only useful for finding the current location of a running train. Hope Google makes the app better after this takeover and doesn't insert ads in it.

I know and understand that bro. What i meant was, once Newsstand renamed as Google News there was no mention of Google News on Play Store.
