It�s that time again! Last summer, we published the first Beautiful Design collection on Google Play, and updated it in the winter with a fresh set of beautifully crafted apps.
Since then, developers have been hard at work updating their existing apps with new design ideas, and many new apps targeted to phones and tablets have launched on Google Play sporting exquisite detail in their UIs. Some apps are even starting to incorporate elements from material design, which is great to see. We�re on the lookout for even more material design concepts applied across the Google Play ecosystem!
Today, we're refreshing the Beautiful Design collection with our latest favorite specimens of delightful design from Google Play. As a reminder, the goal of this collection is to highlight beautiful apps with masterfully crafted design details such as beautiful presentation of photos, crisp and meaningful layout and typography, and delightful yet intuitive gestures and transitions.
The newly updated Beautiful Design Summer 2014 collection includes:
Flight Track 5, whose gorgeously detailed flight info, full of maps and interactive charts, stylishly keeps you in the know.
Oyster, a book-reading app whose clean, focused reading experience and delightful discovery makes it a joy to take your library with you, wherever you go.
Gogobot, an app whose bright colors and big images make exploring your next city delightful and fun.
Lumosity,
Vivino,
FIFA,
Duolingo,
SeriesGuide,
Spotify,
Runtastic,
Yahoo News Digest… each with delightful design details.
Airbnb, a veteran of the collection from this past winter, remains as they continue to finesse their app.
If you�re an Android designer or developer, make sure to play with some of these apps to get a sense for the types of design details that can separate good apps from great ones. And remember to review the material design spec for ideas on how to design your next beautiful Android app!.
