Motorola has released updates to Google Play for a couple of their apps – Motorola Gallery and Motorola Camera. Both of the apps received a visual refresh to incorporate Google's Material Design philosophy into their user interface along with a couple new features.

In addition to the refreshed look, Motorola indicates the Gallery app has received some performance improvements. The Camera app gets a couple new features to go with the new interface. Motorola has added a timer mode to the camera. Owners of a Moto X, DROID Ultra or DROID Turbo will find that they can now use a twisting motion to switch from the rear-facing to the front-facing camera. Motorola does not specify whether users can switch back with another twist.
