Google Play Store 5.0 With Material Design

The Google Play Store 5.0 app with the Material Design update for Android users. The Google Play (v5.0) app update was leaked last month. The update that brought Material Design to content pages, after being spotted in July, rolled out to users soon after.

The most notable change is the more vivid palette of colours, and a flatter look that's more characteristic of the Material Design philosophy. It features reworked top bars merges the section name with the category tabs like Top Releases, New Releases, Home and others. All the Google Play sections namely Apps, Games, Movies, Books, and Newsstand are also seen with the new colour palette combinations that are brighter and more vivid than the current version.


While the updated Google Play Store 5.0 app has not yet rolled out to users in India  those interested in updating ahead of time can download and side-load the Google signed apk from Android Police, which also lists the complete changelog. 

Though most of the design changes in the Google Play Store 5.0 app remain the same as the earlier leaked build, there are reportedly few smaller changes included in the final release. The first visible change is the Play Store icon itself. Google has changed the Play Store shopping bag colour to grey, with a slightly larger Play icon, and a paper bag-like handle. Also, the icons for Store home, My apps, My wishlist, and People in the left menu appears different from the build.
