As we all wait patiently, watching the ticking second hand on our clocks or Moto 360s, for the official release of Android L, we can get some relief in the form of apps updating to use the new material design guidelines provided by Google. A new entrant in this growing list is Google’s own Google Play Newsstand app. Google says the update to Newsstand will make the reading experience easier by incorporating larger images, more contextual headers and smoother transitions.
Along with the changes to the interface, Google made some improvements to features as well. Topic cards in the Explore section can now be drilled down to a deeper level so readers can be more specific about the content they are interested in reading. The Topics can be used to personalize a reading list and keep it up to date.
Google says they now have more than 2,000 free and paid publications available through the Newsstand. The update will be rolling out to users over the next week and will be available for users in more than 40 countries. If you do not want to wait to receive the notification that an update is ready, use one of the download links below to try to grab the update.
