Android L promises to bring a full redesign to all of Android, but thanks to the unbundled nature of Android, some of it is already trickling out to devices. The latest app to get a Material Design makeover is the Play Store, which now looks more at home in Android L than it does in KitKat. The latest update came out this week, which added most of the new Material Design elements.

The Google Play Store 5.0 app with the Material Design update has started rolling out to Android users. The early build of the Google Play (v5.0) app update was leaked last month. The update that brought Material Design to content pages, after being spotted in July, rolled out to users soon after. The most notable change is the more vivid palette of colours, and a flatter look that’s more characteristic of the Material Design philosophy. It features reworked top bars merges the section name (for example – Movies, Games and others) with the category tabs like Top Releases, New Releases, Home and others. All the Google Play sections namely Apps, Games, Movies, Books, and Newsstand are also seen with the new colour palette combinations that are brighter and more vivid than the current version.
