Oh no, now how will I know it is a store app and not a music app? *existential crisis*

    It's not much, but it is what it is so okay then.

      ok fine no problem

        k0l9, 11 May 2017The name "Play Store" still remains the stupidest title everAmong other stupid names and designs by google. Every new version of android has some candy name, app store is play store. It is difficult to underestimate the impact android made in the past years, but with all those crazy names and cheap (not minimalist) visual designs it is hard to look at it seriously.

            Still looks ugly like every other play icon Google forced on us. Thank god for Launchers and Icon packs that do what they are incapable of, making attractive logos.

                      Nice! It's always nice to have variety although I thought the new icon will be round or rounded square (like the current trend).

                        aceofgenerations, 11 May 2017Poor bag, it was (literally) the icon of the Play Store, or... moreThe morons dropped the wrong half. They should have kept the bag and found a decent name. Say the neutral "Android Market". That is not in use..... /S ;)

                        The current name is bad, misleading and annoying , as quite a big portion of the user group see an android device as primarily a production tool, not a substitute for a gameboy....

                          Poor bag, it was (literally) the icon of the Play Store, or the 'Market' back in the days.

                              I only download apps from the Samsung Galaxy Store. I don't use Google Play Store. I actually disabled it from my phone and removed the icon from my app drawer.

                                So a purely abstract icon that says nothing about what the app is. Nice one Google.

                                Ah well, that's what icon packs are for...

                                  This change will change whole world of mobile industry... Now our life is complete because this huge update....

                                  Because things like PROPER SEARCH FILTERS in market or REMOVING SCAM APPS from top list is not important at all... who care that official Android Market dont have even simple filter options in search bar... Or that even in top100 market apps are scam apps that clearly paid for downloads... because there is no way that 10000 people every month download flashlight app that have media adverts that you cant skip and put 5star rating in review....

                                        Given that you have to pay 5p for bags now in the UK, will this transpire in a 5p per app saving for us?!
