It was just a matter of time before we’d see Google releasing the update of the Google Play Store which brought it in-line with the Material Design of Android L. We’ve seen it leak recently and the rollout started today. Google+ received the Material Design overhaul first and is now followed by the Play Store, which reached version 4.9.13.
Even though certain parts of the app did get the Material Design overhaul, this is definitely not the final update to that design element as most of it is still intact. Google will definitely tinker with the app’s design more in the near future. That being said, you’ll see the changes made if you visit the content pages, in other words visit a certain app, movie, book or music content. You’ll notice new animations and header along with the new badges. The design looks completely different compared to previous versions. They’ve also changed the content description which is now displayed in full screen, no additional clicking necessary. As we said, this part of the app looks completely different and we like it a lot.
If you’re not willing to wait for your turn and want to sideload the app right away, you can download it HERE.
