Although it was during the first week of this month when Google confirmed the rumored redesign on your platform of applications, movies, books and other, it is not until now when it is really being done effective in our country And it is that Google Play has begun to show its new appearance in Spain after several weeks of waiting.A completely automatic and silent process, as its installation is not reported or alerted to the user.
In this way, if you access the menu Google Play settings, once updated, it is possible to see that your version has been increased to number 4.0.27 Although the most characteristic is its new design and not its version number And it is remarkable the effort of Google to adapt this platform to the style of the latest version of Android , known as Jelly Bean A style that bets on minimalism and simplicity, which results in a clearer viewing of the contents, making the management of this download platform easiercomfortable and pleasant
In this new design, he advocates a larger image size, giving them full prominence over a background that is now clear This is how to achieve covers of books, movies, applications, and discs large as soon as you startGoogle Play In contrast to the previous grid on a black background, a more tidy main screen is now presented, where the sections are located at the top of the screen, with their respective icons and colors , and with the content recommendations well divided according to their section below, showing above all the respective covers or covers of books, movies in Spanish, new music, best sellers, games, sagas, and personal recommendations among others.
Its operation is very fluid And it is that the system of clickon what you want and go back has been completed.For example, we have now added the characteristics three dots that refer to a context menu next to each piece of content to buy it, download it or check it in the wish list without accessing intermediate pages. And not only that. navigation between menus has also been improved, being able to slide from one to another with movementshorizontal across the screen. Something reminiscent of the Metro style of Windows Phone, and which makes handlingreally smooth and nice
In addition, although the internal structure has not changed, this new management system and design make navigatingGoogle Play be easy and don't make the user get lost.For example, when you press the menu Applications from the main screen, a new menu is displayed. In it it is possible to move horizontally between the different sections (Home, Top Sales, Top Free, etc.) showing in a top bar where you are currently the user. All this in a fluid way and with the default colors of each category (Applications, Movies, Books, Music and Books).
When it comes to downloading the system remains almost unchanged, although the download page now also shows sections like Users also viewedand Users also tried as a recommendations Also, a popup window now offers information about the permissions that an application requires from the terminal, and not the old and uncomfortable screen for Continue shoppingof the previous version.In addition, when making a payment the screen no longer changes, showing the transaction in a small pop-up window where to accept the purchase. Finally, the automatic updates option has been hidden in the menu, including in Settings the Ability to select updates to download and install automatically only when running connected to a WiFi network
In short, a rather nice face lift, both for its new colors and look visual as well as its fluid operation Of course, sometimes it is possible that the images take a while in appearing, something that makes a dent in the fluency, although it is not abusive. This new version of Google Play is already reaching all users of smartphones andAndroid tablets from Spain, with no action required.All this automatically
