“Explore all” with three app suggestions is followed by a “See More” button. You get the app’s name, icon, and rating. “Recommended for you” and “Now trending” are followed by large cards for “Watch faces,” “Music streaming,” “Essential watch apps,” and “Healthy mind & body.”.

The last section is a prompt to “browse and install apps from your other devices,” meaning phone , with the option to open the Play Store on that device. “Manage apps” and “Settings” round out the page.
In contrast, the current design is too heavy and boring.
