New changes in the Google Play Store bring Designed for tablets apps at your fingertips
Google Play Store now includes Designed for tablets apps for its users
Over a month ago Google announced its plans to bring some changes in Google Play Store. The company promised to provide an easy access of users to apps especially designed for tablets. The improvements are already a fact. The new section “Designed for tablets” is the default option in the Play Store when users browse through the app from their slates. In this way, the access to the library of apps is easier than ever.
The features in the new Google Play Store include the possibility to change the view in the categories. It makes it easier for users to browse through the apps they want and find what they are looking for within seconds. They can also access the other section in the store, the “Designed for phones” apps. Most of the applications will run on tablets but just won’t look and work that great. Google has included a special section for developers where they can explore and use different resources that will help them to create apps for tablets. They can explore and apply design tips and the examples of effective and fully optimized for tablets apps. This section of the Play Store includes stories shared by developers based on their experience.
The main idea of Google is to encourage developers to create more and more programs and software improvements purposed for slates. One of the secrets for success of different platforms is the rich library of optimized apps. This is especially important for tablets’ users. If an app is not available with a tablet-optimized version, it creates a bad impression for the certain platform. In the special Developer Console, developers can test their apps and fix the issues in case they need optimizing. The opportunity to create tablets apps and to present them in Google Play Store provides possibilities for developers to enrich their careers and …their income. The new changes in the Play Store will make happy users and developers.
