SimpleSyrup: App updates for the week ended November 7th, 2014

App updates galore! Every week, developers push out updates to your favourite applications. There’s just too many for us to dedicate an individual post to every app, especially when the updates are often very minor or just to add one specific feature.

Some of the biggest news in apps this week were the changes to WhatsApp, which now shows you when the recipient has actually read your message, Kik’s addition of keywords to its supported chats, Motorola’s Moto Body for M0to 360 users, the shut down of Hailo Toronto, the Economist’s new Espresso app, and the additional of Material Design to Google Maps for Android and iOS.
