Google Play Store Update 4.9.13

Material Design was all the hype at Google IO. And of course – it is probably the biggest Android design alteration we have seen in years. The graphic intensive and cleaner look is to be spread across the whole UI, and the Google Play Store is finally taking all these design elements to the streets.
If you thought the previous major update was substantial, you will be blown away by version 4.9.13. The navigation and overall UI is left nearly untouched, the main difference here is in the details. To be more specific, things get a bit whacky once you get to app/content pages. This is not bad, though. The new design looks great, it just happens to have a slight learning curve.

What’s New?

This Play Store update marks the addition of a brand-new Material Design layout for app and other content pages, and the rollout has just begun, according to Googler Kirill Grouchnikov.

App and content pages

Google did an excellent job with various new elements of this update. 4.9.13 marks what we can only assume is an as-yet uncompleted shift to a Material layout, starting with app and other content pages. The basic navigation and most other parts of the Play Store seem untouched, though the changes to content pages are pretty huge.

The new app pages really are the story here – they’ve been redesigned from the ground up with new animations, a totally revamped layout that more heavily features +1s on content, and generally just looks a whole lot cleaner. I could go into exactly what’s different, but that’d be kind of hard, because everything on app and content pages seems to have changed.

A few things we’ve noticed are app descriptions now go full-screen, and changelogs live in this area as well. App changelogs on the device Play Store are now only visible for apps you have installed, where they will appear in place of the app description (good! efficient!). For apps you don’t have installed, you’ll have to open the full description to see the changelog (less efficient!).

Video trailers now sit at the top of every listing that has one, instead of in the image gallery. App details like the date of last update, APK size, version, “Top Developer” text, and content are now in the full description section of apps, not on the main listing page. Permissions are also now found in the description area, as well as at the bottom of the listing via the permission details button.

Privacy policy and the visit [developer] webpage links no longer show the full URL of the page. Finally, the dedicated share button in the top bar has been removed. Sharing is now found via a button below the featured reviews for content, as is the +1 button (an interesting choice). Instead of +1s and shares, this new UI seems to emphasize reviews and star rating ahead of Google+, though your circle members who have +1ed a piece of content do still appear right alongside the star rating and review count in their little bubble avatars.

Download

The APK is signed by Google and upgrades your existing app. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the file is safe to install and was not tampered with in any way. Rather than wait for Google to push this download to your devices, which can take days, download and install it just like any other APK.
