Google Play Movies & TV app Updates with Info Cards and UI Enhancements [APK Download]

Another Google app that we have been waiting to get our grubby little hands on has finally made its way to our desk. The Google Play Movies & TV app is currently rolling out in typical staged roll out fashion and move to version 3.1.22. The Play Store description is still not updated though. However, we have noticed a number of changes in the looks and options of the app.

One of the main new features is the new Info Cards. In the settings you can disable the function if you want, but now when you pause a movie if there is info available about the actor on screen or the sound track playing, you will get some details. Such as the actors name, current age, other movies they were in with links to explore the Play Store for movies and shows along with the web.

Along with the the info cards, there is also a change to the UI. Google has finally ditched the three dot over flow button at the top right and brought everything into the slide out on the left. Previous Play Store version on the left and the new update is on the right.

However, the three dot over flow does reappear when you are looking at the movie lists and offers you ‘refresh and ‘personal videos”.

You will also find new settings for captions. Instead of only being able to adjust the size, you can now set the language and the caption style along with a preview box.

There is probably a bunch more that I am missing in the update, but those are the ones that stood out the most to me.
