Google Play Store gets Material Design revamp

Google seems to be going full steam ahead with its redesign. The tech company has just rolled out version 5.0.31 of its Google Play Store to bring Material Design to it.

The Play Store also feels quicker to load and navigate through. The new look is rolling out bit by bit so just be patient and wait for it to come to you.
