Starbucks overhauls its Android app, brings shake to pay and new widgets

Starbucks has finally brought the design overhaul to its Android app that was promised back in February for the spring season.

With a new interface, shake-to-pay, a more comprehensive history view and plenty of design flourishes, the update was worth the wait.

Canadians don’t have access to the Digital Tipping platform that went live earlier this year in the U.S., but customers will be pleased with the smooth payment process and the updated widgets, which feel significantly more native on the Google Now Launcher.

Earlier this month, Starbucks said that in-app mobile payments now comprise over 15% of its total sales, with 6 million users engaging with it every month.
