Popular Post Desmuria Posted October 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 After my harsh criticism about the PS Store, Sony have actually turned it around for the app - I actually really like the look of it. I'm honestly just grateful that it has a dark mode. Unless I'm being blind, the web version doesn't have a dark mode. I tend to use the app more than the web store, so I'm pretty chuffed with the way this looks. I just hope Sony realise the error they've made by deleting the wishlist feature and bring it back. 48 minutes ago, LegacyJKO09 said: Spaz whines about everything and he does contradict himself or post super long rant/replies. Get used to it, i think it looks better On another note: I can vouch for this. 1 hour ago, Spaz said: Looking at the age gap between us, it's probably easy to see why you like it and I don't. I'm roughly the same age as you and I really like the look of the app. Age has nothing to do with it. It's about learning to deal with change in a positive and mature way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mina Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Can’t wait to try out this update. I use it often enough and I have to say that I disliked having separate apps. Really happy they’ve listened to the complaints regarding the party chats too, hope the next update fixes things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I like the new app. It's fast and responsive. Will definitely use this instead of the webstore. I noticed activities you've done and from friends are now gone. Profile banner is also removed. Edited October 29, 2020 by Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s available now - i’m in uk and it updated on my phone this morning. Pretty nice - snappy and well laid out. My only gripe is the disappearance of the ‘wishlist’ function from the store, but I suspect that will come back soon enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And98s Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The new app looks great, much better than the old one. And the store there is at least better than the new web store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age doesnt have anything to do with this. I feel like this is the right moves to make by Sony. Sure it kinda sucks that they have removed the ps3/vita sections of the store. But it looks a lot better, has better potential for future implementations. Sure it looks kinda user unfriendly, but you just have to learn how to get around and it will feel a lot better...

StraightVege Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I haven't been able to log-in on the PS App for years, and this version is no exception. Still the same error: "connection to the server could not be established." I give up. Edited October 29, 2020 by ScarecrowsFate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one "good" change out of what, several changes they made many of us think are bad? It's snazzy and looks sleek. Really all I have to say on it.

BlackTorito Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The update is out now, and let me say, this is great. It looks sicks, it works adequately fast and everything is integrated, messages, store, voice chat, blog... what else do you need? Pretty good stuff, well done.

Soraking1991 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I like how they cleaned it up a bit. Much less clutter and seems to be working faster. Like the overall design with curved edges and colour gradients. It's got a pretty unique style and they have gone out of their way to implement something different from current design and style guidelines for apps. I also like the dark mode for the Store more than the white web version, still missing sorting and filtering results there. I just wish there was some way to highlight or better see the games/content you have already purchased (plain white text is not eye-catching enough, liked how it used to be blue). One final note, the infinite scroll in the Store is a great improvement over the paged implementation before, I'd just like to point out that it could be loading slightly faster/earlier and not have to fill the screen with empty boxes before pulling data for the content it should be showing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Game Library is pretty bad though. You can't filter or search your games, you don't even see their names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, seems like they forgot to add filters/sorting throughout. The Store also lacks that functionality. I get why they don't what to show the names, but it should be a toggle somewhere rather than not showing them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSkill Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Its cool and now can finally remove the old messager app. But I like the old function which shows my friends got trophies like what I see on ps4's whats news. I can also give a like on them but now it is showing what I recently play and I dont need to know.

Wagszilla Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Dark mode looks nice. The make/break thing is if Messages send faster here without need to refresh/back out and back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuty Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Like the New look. Did someone has also under the settings of the app under push messages (not Sure if its shown like this cause i have only the Translation in my language on it) the option to activate push messages for "wishlist updates"? Not Sure why they implement something like this in the New app if wishlist is not in use anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinrichReich Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I want to keep the old app, because it still has the functionality of the old ps store (like wishlist-feature and way better overview). I just hope it's not mandatory to do the update. But as long as it works I'll dismiss the update for now. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visighost Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I find it funny that they went with version 20.9.3 instead of a round number. (Also, I really like it. Seems like they made it much more functional (and pretty) as opposed to the store) Edited October 29, 2020 by visighost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandA60VISE Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It's still not updated for me. I have android version 8.1.0 and live in the US. The play store still says it's on version 19.15.0 and was last updated on March 23rd this year. I've tired both searching for it on the play store and using the link posted in the OP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrerDaurat Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 It hasn't updated for me yet, but from what I've seen here I like it. Definitely an improvement over the previous version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going to "My apps & games" in the Play store and see if it shows an available update for the app. That's what I had to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search tab on the right basically has the same function, since it opens the same page and mostly every title is on the game’s logo. I agree on the filter though.

Dreakon13 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty excited to check this out, I like these companion apps and Playstation's needed an overhaul. Especially to put it all into one app instead of splitting messages, etc out to it's own. Kinda disappointing it still isn't up on the Google Play store. For me at least. How about waiting on the blog announcement until it's actually available? I installed fresh from the store just a few minutes ago too and checked for updates after so I don't think it's a "go see if there's an update available" kinda situation.

If you dont like what sony is doing, stick to the older consoles or change brand instead of just throwing out your (almost all) comments. If you want to be negative, then come with suggestions to make it better or be a little bit more constructive. Why torment yourself with these "bad" moves by Sony. Go to xbox or pc then and spare us from your negativity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
