The newest version of the Google Play store started to roll out last night and brings some welcomed new features. There is now a tabbed ‘My Apps’ section that shows you all the apps you have ever installed (up to 250) and an ‘All’ section that contains all the apps loaded on your device. You can also flip between multiple accounts under the All tab instead of going into your settings like in previous builds.
Another neat feature is the upgrade to the app reviews. If the Google servers can decipher what device the reviewer is using, the Play store will now reflect that in each review. You are also presented with new options in which you can display the reviews. You can see reviews from owners of your device only, or from the lasted version of the app, and you can also sort the way in which reviews are displayed, i.e. most helpful or newest reviews first. Pretty handy indeed!
This new update brings the Play store up to build 3.5.15 and should reach all devices over the next few days. If you are anxious to see what the changes look like right now then you can force the update yourself thanks to XDA member Joel Chan. No root required, just download this apk file and make sure you have ‘Unknown Sources’ checked off under the Security option in your device settings. Once downloaded, simply open the file and install but be sure to let us know what you think!
