The new Material Design of the Google Play Store finally arrives for everyone
And we say “finally” because Google has been tinkering with the design of its app store and our Android phones all summer. Something that many of the users of these mobiles have been able to verify when going through the Google Play Store to try to update some of their applications or download a new game. An aspect that has varied between large cards and a very minimalist design for weeks. Now Google officially announces its arrival, and we hope that all users start to see it without any further changes in the short term
Let's talk about design Material Design A stylistic concept that Google has been developing for years now, always in favor of the purest and simplest minimalism . That is, remove everything superfluous so that the contents are displayed as is on a white background. No stripes. No buttons. Not so many colors. Something that the user may or may not like, but who is looking for the best user experience and the most attractive and clean appearance. A concept that is renewed year after year, with more or less notable changes in different applications and services to keep the Android environment alive. And finally it's up to the Google Play Store.
Users who are more concerned about the appearance of their Android mobile may have noticed how Google has been testing this Material Design from the Google Play Store eventually That is, they have activated and deactivated it (returning to the previous design) up to two times. Something that has caused more confusion than surprise and improved experience. Now his blog for developers confirms the official arrival. So we hope that there will be no further step back in this decision.
And what do we find in this new Material Design version of the Google Play Store? Well, a predominant white Forget the colors that helped you separate apps from games, movies, and books. Now everything is white, with icons with rounder corners than ever. Of course, the search box remains at the top, predominant to quickly find what we are looking for. However, the Google Play Store sections move to the bottom as a navigation bar. But without color, marked with icons and labels. The pinnacle of minimalism, without even lines or lines separating the collections of applications.
