ZitMeatloaf Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 So I'm not sure if this is a universal change that Sony made to their phone app, or if it's just my phone acting weird for some reason, but browsing and navigating the store from the app is awful now. Up until maybe a week ago, when I accessed to the PS Store from the phone app it was clearly optimized and designed to be viewed from a cell phone. Now when I click on the store from the phone app it just takes me to the full desktop site, which requires scrolling left or right and zooming in and out to see whatever you're trying to look at, and it sucks. Has anybody else noticed this? I can't find anything in settings I may have changed by accident, and I haven't changed phones so I doubt it's just my phone. I'm using the android app, I don't know if the iOS app is behaving the same way. Is this the same for everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarioMan200 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 No, I went on the store as soon as I read your post and the store seems find to me; no desktop issues aside from the occasional load times, but that's it really. It may just be your phone then that's the only assumption that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I can't even get my phone to let me Sign In unless I'm in a Private browser session on iOS. Something screwy is going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panikooooos Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I don't know if it's related but I had my avatar disappear and change to the default psn one and had to manually change it back yesterday, maybe they're messing with stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi sorry for the inconvenience. You probably touched the "desktop version" link at the bottom. Try resetting it. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milktastrophe Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The desktop version is better anyway because then you can filter out the crap like avatars and themes and just see games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMuttGuy Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yeah I noticed this about a week or two ago. It's awful and I can't find a way to get it to change back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never know why that happens either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dry Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I never use the PlayStation Store using the PS App for a number of reasons. The layout of the mobile version is one and another is I can't complete transactions using PayPal.

I don't even see an option to switch from mobile to desktop or vice versa at either one of those locations. I also tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but it's still the same.

thefourfoldroot Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Seems fine to me (UK). And the desktop tab is right at the bottom central on the phone optimised screen (I'm not risking switching to desktop mode to see where it is there, sorry, don't want to get stuck too).

I can't find it anywhere. I hope I'm not stuck this way forever. Edit: So I found the tab you mean when I open the PS Store using my phone's browser, but it's absent when I link to the store from the PS app. Suck.

Hi, sorry for the confusion. But yes I was referring to the link on the bottom of the store page by clicking the ps store link in the ps app. If you do not see the "desktop version" "mobile version" you might be using a older app. Also what Android version are you using? This could be a issue with older android version not showing everything correctly. Hopefully your issue will be resolved shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a issue with older android version not showing everything correctly. Hopefully your issue will be resolved shortly. I'm using Android 10 and the PS app is version 19.10.0 ... but whatever was causing the issue has apparently been resolved because the store looks normal again. Maybe deleting and reinstalling the PS app helped? Possible, but initially the store was still messed up when I checked it after reinstalling. @ThatMuttGuy, maybe try deleting and reinstalling the app yourself to see if it helps you. I appreciate everyone's help and comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMuttGuy Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Weirdest thing ever. I go to the PS Store on the app and it's back to the mobile version now. I guess they fixed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I use my laptop. I don't bother using my smartphone to access the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my phone far more often than my laptop. The mobile app store is especially handy for quickly checking your wishlist to see if anything on your list has gone on sale.
