New Google Play UI is Rolling Out with Animations and RTL View

We’re all very familiar with the Play Store. It’s the home of your favorite games and apps and while we’re all used to how it looks and works, just like any other application, it needs some kind of updating too. We’ll soon see a new Android Market/Play Store user interface and design although we’re not sure when exactly.

Some People have received the updated Google Play app UI today, complete with a new splash screen and a new home page with two tabs: Apps & Games and Entertainment.There’s also a huge banner up top that Google can use to highlight whatever content it likes.

Kirill Grouchnikov, user interface engineer at Google, has been working hard on this division but he announced recently that he’ll be moving to the frameworks team. He has greatly helped Google work on the Play Store and bring it to its current position in the market. Before his big move, he worked on an update on the Play Store so in the next few weeks, we’ll see the new Play Store design.

Tap on tabs and watch pretty animations:

And another elastic animation in the new UI - watch out for the green bar expanding into the status bar when it gets close, and popping back down on the way back:

Like we stated, this appears to be a server-side update, so unfortunately there is no APK available for you to side load and get the new look. But as long as you have version 5.10.29 on your device, you should see it soon, hopefully. This could be a staged rollout, but we honestly have no idea. But this does look like a really nice update.
