The mobile app of Google Play received a facelift on Tuesday, deploying content in a clutter-free fashion on a redesigned interface. Rolling out to Android-packed smartphones and tablets, the redone digital store app has been tweaked to showcase bigger images that jump off the page, states a post on the official Android Blog.
Well, the arrival of this edition had been in the news a few days ago, with multiple sources letting us in on a glimpse of the supposed layout. And by the looks of it, the rumors have hit bull’s eye.
Elaborating the recent software’s attributes, it will now be possible to see the app in a new light, even as it takes a break from the dark-themed version in order to make way for brighter colored icons. The overhauled utility should save users the aggravation of foraging for relevant content throughout the page, by heaping all the similar subjects under one roof.
The maker has elucidated that fresher recommendations will begin pouring in as Android fans begin to scroll down the page. This version of the software has more to offer than just a revamped layout. Keeping in mind the significance of speed for today’s generation, the makers have simplified the checkout procedure for users to acquire apps faster.
The Play store is increasingly becoming the hub to purchase not only utilities, but also books and magazines to read as well as music to listen to. The company has evem begun employing the outlet as a podium to sell devices in more markets than before. A perfect example for this would be the launch of the Asus-crafted Nexus 7 in India. The tablet has been put up for sale through the outlet stapled with a retail tag of Rs. 15,999.
Picking up from where we left off, the company says that it could take a few weeks before the Google Play update starts rolling out for users across the globe, even though April 9 marked the availability of this version in some regions. The advantages of this edition however will only be granted to those utilizing phones and tablets optimized for Froyo or later.
To briefly recap, here are features of the bumped up software:
– Interface touts larger images
– Similar themed content grouped together
– Faster checkout process
– Available for Android 2.2 and up
