If you’re a frequenter to the Google Play app you may have noticed the search is looking a bit different, some might even say better than it has ever looked before. The company has redesigned their search system into an attractive grid display of the app icons when you begin a search.
“The grid is broken up into multi-colored boxes that include an app’s icon, its name, its rating, and its price,” according to Android And Me.
“And, as you’d expect, tapping the box will kick you to the app’s page in Google Play for easy installation. You can also tap the expand button at the bottom of the screen to expand the list of apps.”
The article cited a music app search as their example. When you search for music apps, icons for apps like Spotify, Pandora, Beats Music and more are organized in a grid. Price, rating and number of users are also displayed and if you feel like you need more apps displayed, there is an expand button toward the bottom of the list according to the report.
“The new results are nice because they highlight the app icon by placing it in its own box, and they’re also easy to read because the boxes are different colors,” according to Alex Wagner of Android And Me.
“You can see the new-look results for yourself by searching ‘____ apps’ in Google on your Android phone or tablet.”
The display is cleaner and well organized with bright and engaging colors. It makes for a more attractive display even in a simple aspect of Google Play.
