Google today announced a new version of the Play Movies app for Android devices. The most significant new feature is support for info cards that appear on the user's smartphone or tablet when watching content via Chromecast or Android TV. The info cards will pop up on the mobile device during movie or TV show playback to provide info about the actors involved and other details. The app has also been updated with Material Design, which is the new design language Google is using for Android 5.0 Lollipop. The new Google Play app will roll out over the next few days.
