Google Wallet is getting a facelift today with its latest update, bringing a smoother UI and some under the hood improvements as well. The interface now more closely follows the holo UI guidelines, with navigation tabs along the top of the interface and an overflow settings button to hold all extra functions. You’re no longer greeted by a list of all available cards, as they are now all housed one more tap away under the “My Wallet” tab with only your default card displayed. There is a button to go directly to “My Offers” from the first page, and new offers can be found from the “Explore” tab on the main page.
The update also brings some nondescript “improvements to the user interface, application stability, and battery life.” Although no specifics are listed, these are all good improvements that although aren’t as noticeable at first as a new UI make a big difference in the quality of the app.
The Google Wallet app has undergone several visual changes since its launch, and this is probably the best of the bunch. Head to the Play Store and check out the latest update if you have a compatible device, or stick around after the break for a few screenshots of the new UI.
