I hope you havenāt taken google play and replicated it 1:1 using the exact same graphics and suchā¦google does send out C&Dās for that kind of stuff.
This is info from Google Play head UI designer, from his Google Plus
For me, this new homepage of Google Play app, can increase app discovery. There are only 2 main categories and pages, ofcourse inside you can find more but still, apps and games are separated from other stuff and have own promotional badge in the top. I donāt know if search progress is also separated but I hope it is.
The most wanted thing for me is more search results than top2 and more button, they should go back to top5 or even top10
Top 2 is only to show Movies in small screens oO, so separated search progress is a key but I donāt know if they are going to do this or not. Actually is top1 because one position is for paid advertising ;/
I got update but new design was active for 20 minutes, they set up something on server and still old design, again I had it for couple minutes and now I have only new font and old design they are changing something, guy from UI told that āsoonā but not told when
This does look interesting. I can understand what you are saying about app discovery - definitely agree. Even as a user, top 2 is limiting and it would make sense for the user experience also to display more there. I still donāt see this version yet either on any of my devices.
This is great news. I wish Games get a new sub section of their own; maybe in future. It can help both the gaming and non-game app developers; if they list just Top 5, thatās 10 apps getting face time on the frontā¦
i am noticing some increased downloads in the last few days, just checked google play store app and it updated a little bit with points over stars, i also see more than 2 search results nowā¦
