What forked from a Yalp store originally to become a mirror of Googleโs Playstore โ Aurora Store, is getting a big design update soon. As per images shared by an XDA member, itโs seen the redesigned Aurora Store getting much closer to Googleโs Playstore in terms of navigation. It replaces the old categories with new ones to offer just like the Google Playstore.
Aurora Store New Design
Aurora Store is an open-source client based on Google Playstore or can be said to be a counterfeit. Though itโs clearly against Googleโs terms and poses risks of using it, the Android community loves it since open-source and its adaptability.
Supported on Android handsets running version 5.0 and above, Aurora Store doesnโt need the MicroG or GApps or any other Google service to run its app on, making it much feasible to everyone. After the fork from the Yalp store, itโs been rewritten to get a material design and a modern UI.
Now, the appโs getting few more improvements in the design category, as revealed from the shared screenshots by an XDA member. The images are brought from Auroraโs Telegram channel and shows a significant revamp over its earlier version. As seen, itโs now basing its UI completely on Googleโs Playstore.

The tabs of Categories, Updates, Home, etc., have been replaced by Apps, Games, and Updates. The new version 4 ditches the search bar above to set a floating search button at the bottom right corner. There are also additions like โFor You,โ โTop Charts,โ and โEditorโs Choice.โ
This new version of Aurora Store isnโt available yet but will be coming soon. And if youโre interested in trying this out, make sure you realize that itโs a clear violation of Googleโs rules and may deactivate or permanently ban your Google account if you join Aurora Store with it. Thus, use the appโs masking features like spoofing your device information and region.
