Google Play Newsstands gets an update with some material design changes [APK Download]

Google Play Newsstands is starting to update across devices today in a typical staged roll out. It has already been one year since Google has re-branded Play Magazines to Newsstand, and I am for one liking it much better. The updates for the app since it has change over have been slow. The last update I have recorded was back in May. Today’s update moves the app to version 3.3 and brings along a number of visual changes to bring the app inline with Google latest material design guidelines.

The new design incorporates larger images more contextual headers and smoother transitions. You are also gaining the ability to swipe horizontally between topics and vertically to dive deeper into the specific topic you have landed on.

The icon for the app also got changed up a little bit. The whole app feels a lot nicer and certainly has a great visual appeal to it.

As usual, the APK is available for your side-loading pleasure so you don’t have to stare at the images and wonder what it looks like on your device. Head over to Gappsearly and pick it up.
