Google starts rolling out Play Store 5.0 with Material Design

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the expected unveiling of Android L, Google has started rolling out a new version of the Play Store that features Material Design elements, part of the new version of its mobile operating system.

Google Play Store version 5.0.31 comes with a flatter design but features bolder colours. The update also brings some UI changes in line with Android L.


The new version of the Google Play Store comes with a redesigned menu bar with colour coded section names. The 'what's new' section for app listings is also placed at the top and is highlighted with a different colour, so users no longer need to scroll down to check on recent changes. The update was spotted by Phandroid.


The update also features new icons and a redesigned sidebar. The back button is also a back arrow similar to the Android L back navigation key.


The update is rolling out to all Android devices but users can download and install the APK installation file through links available on a number of Android-focused blogs.
