Google Play Store Update 5.0.31 Adds Even More Material Design, Highlights And Moves “What’s New” To The Top [APK Download]

Of course, as I have to pick up my son from daycare, breaking news had to hit, and Google had to start pushing out the Play Store 5.0 update (5.0.31, to be exact). We’ll start looking at every corner in just a bit. In the meantime, a few things are immediately obvious. One, it looks like the app in our exclusive early look from mid-September. And two… well, let’s just jump into the What’s New section and find out.

This is the latest Play Store version.

You can find previous versions here:

Brand New Icon

As you can see at the top of the post, the Play Store has adopted a revised icon with a cleaned up icon that fits the new theme. Kirill Grouchnikov, a User Interface Engineer at Google, posted a history of the evolution of the Play Store, starting from the Android Market days.

What’s New moves to the top

The What’s New section is now highlighted green, and while it’s still truncated after 4 lines on the main app screen, once you click on it, you no longer have to scroll all the way down, which made no sense in the previous 4.9 update. Hallelujah, someone at Google listened!
