Windows 10: Microsoft Store gets new improvements in latest update

Microsoft pushed out a new update for its Store app for Windows 10 PC and Windows 10 Mobile users. The latest update has been made available for users enrolled in the Release Preview ring.

With the latest update Microsoft has made some improvements to the Store application with the introduction of new fonts, collection and more. The previous Store update by Microsoft introduced the new Reveal effect with the already existing Fluent Design elements.

In the latest update Microsoft has brought improvements to the fonts within the Store. The update also allows users to be able to browse reviews with the help of arrows which have been introduced in the latest update.

The company has also brought some improvements to the search bar with the latest update which received new changes in the previous update for the Store application. The new changes to the search bar apply to the Store app both on PC and Mobile.

The Fluent Design is a new language which the Redmond Giant has introduced in its core apps which has got many improvements since the launch of the company’s new version Windows 10.

The Fluent Design language was mainly introduced for Windows 10 users and is available for all the company’s core apps. The Fluent Design elements are expected to receive more refinements in the coming days or weeks with the company working on its next major update Redstone 5 due at the end of this year.

Microsoft in its previous update for the Store app brought many changes for Insiders in the Release Preview with the introduction of the Reveal effect, new arrow icon for Sets users, improvements to the search bar and more which was made available with version 11805.1001.3.0.

The latest update is now available for download with new version 11805.1001.5.0 and is available for both Windows 10 PC and Windows 10 Mobile.

As reported the Store app and other Microsoft’s core apps are expected to get more improvements and refinements during the development of Redstone 5 due this fall.

Thank you for your suggestions froschy!

 

Ovi Store - Suggestions for improving

This unofficial topic is for people to add suggested improvements for the Ovi Store.



1. A process for managing purchased apps (re-download function, backup to PC/Mac, etc...)

2. Improved app descriptions (bigger screenshots, screen resolution info, optimised for etc...)

• • There's not enough information
  • It's hard to tell if the app/media is optimised for your device

3. Restructure the store into completely separate areas: apps, media, personalisation

4. Fix the search function.

5. Reduce the size of the banner on
http://store.ovi.com/

• When I'm using a laptop this banner takes up over half of the screen

6. Fix the sort order of apps

• When I use "Newest to Oldest" some apps seem to stay as the newest item even though they haven't been updated.

7. Encourage lower pricing of apps plus the use of lite/trial versions

8. Target organisations and developers with popular apps for iPhone and encourage them to develop similar apps for Symbian.



My post is aimed at providing constructive suggestions for the improvement of the Ovi Store, please feel free to add to this post preferably using the numbering format that I've started (if you agree with a suggestion use the number followed by "agreed",
if you have a new suggestion use the next number)
