A bold design can go a long way towards enhancing an app\u2019s usability. While an interface dominated by text and menus may feel like it offers the most utility, smart use of color and form can help make navigating even complicated apps feel like second nature. A little over a month ago, we took an early look at some of the ways Google Wallet was thinking about a colorful, bold upgrade for the way it worked with passes, and now we\u2019ve got fresh progress to share.<\/p>\n

Google Wallet already makes some good choices when it comes to color, employing it in the background for its passes UI to help all your different options stand out. You won\u2019t see this new look in the app just yet, but in Wallet version 26.18.910990572, we\u2019re able to get the app to give us a preview of the more detailed, more colorful changes developers have been working on:<\/p>\n

Each pass is still associated with a distinct color \u2014 making them easy to recognize at a glance \u2014 but with this refresh that color is now everywhere.<\/p>\n

Compared to when we took our first look at this redesign in late March, the interface is now much more polished, and this actually looks pretty close to being ready for introduction. The elements on each screen now transition smoothly between each other, without jarring stops or curved edges showing up where they make no sense. And they now all share the same colorful backdrop.<\/p>\n

Last time, we didn\u2019t even have that progress bar towards your next Play Points level working, with a \u201cNot Implemented\u201d text box holding its place. Not only is that now present, but Google has similarly cleaned up the use of background color and edge shape across this screen.<\/p>\n

Along with upgrades to Wallet\u2019s integration with Gmail, it looks like we\u2019ve got quite a few improvements to look forward to from this app. Right now we can\u2019t say with any certainty when Google might push them live, but at least with this passes redesign, it definitely feels like everything\u2019s starting to get to where it needs to be.<\/p>\n
