Since late last year, BlackBerry has been beta testing design refreshes of their BlackBerry Hub+ apps and today, they've gone ahead and made them available to all through the Google Play Store, starting with Hub, Contacts, and Tasks with more such as Calendar and Notes to follow.

For each of the apps, BlackBerry has introduced new icons and new colors to create a unified experience while offering a more modern design which is indeed welcome since the old versions have mostly been in place since the release of the Priv with only minor visual changes. The updates also introduce an action bar at the bottom of each app, helping you quickly access essential features with the Hub, now named Hub+ Inbox, benefiting the most from the changes in addition to improved support for attachments and more such as improved performance, and new help guides. You will, however, want to make a note of the changes to BlackBerry Hub+ Services and how the BlackBerry Hub+ Inbox now handles SMS and Call Logs due to changes in how Google allows apps that interact with those features to work.
