Why not to use Material Design?
Material Design's preference for including circular floating action buttons is also a usability issue. These circular buttons only include space for an icon, with no assistive text included. And because icons can be so open to interpretation, in many cases, users are left questioning what these buttons actually do.
Do I have to use Material Design?
If the app is built mainly for Android devices, the answer is a no-brainer, Material Design is a good choice.
