New Market - What do you think ?

[razvan06]

So ...there's a new version of the Market out ... what do you guys think about the looks ?

 

[Selespeed]

Just updated, looks nice, is it just me or has the app double in size?

 

[razvan06]

i think ... it's about 2.93mb just the app ,it's not much ! ...i still like it tough.

I like it, it looks very polished. Google needs to do what it did to youtube, gmail, and the market to it's overall UI and would we be in really good shape. Keep up the good work!

It's a bit of a mess IMO. Coverflow style icons take forever to show...

There is a little "bonus" with the new market that isn't being heavily played up. The refund period has changed from 24 hours to 15 minutes.

Ya.. had this updated market place a couple days ago! pretty nice! I like it!!

Just did a quick look at it last night but for something I rarely use these days because I can't fit anything else into my phone anyway, it sure seems to have gotten a little larger...

I noticed this too and wonder if there is a reason why they didn't thread that.

In my opinion, the top (green) half of the market home page takes up too much screen real estate. I really don't think the horizontally scrolling list of featured apps is necessary. It's a bit redundant since I can scroll up or down to see the entire list of featured apps.

No complaints but it's not sliced bread.

I miss the "update all" of the old one. Too many steps to update each app now.

Update all is still there, just at the top of the screen.

I must have missed it. But it is annoying how long it takes for my apps to populate when seeing if there's updates. Also tired of it timing out and having to "wait " for app to catch up.

If I have multiple updates (except if they are manual ones) an "Update All" option shows up at the top of my apps list (top center to be exact). I just had 4 apps that needed to be updated and I just clicked the "Update All" button and they all updated. It's still there.

This was 'big news' all over the Android blog community earlier last week before Google actually updated the market and a lot of people voiced their complaints.

I can't agree more with you. I hate all of the scrolling. It looks nice but it's not very efficient.

 

[StarMenace]

I agree with a lot of the sentiment on here that it's a nice update but could've been much more improved.

 

[Teknologic]

I feel like they've gone with style over functionality.
That's a shame imo... I also think the previous market will have been a lot more user-friendly for newcomers. The buttons here are smaller, stand out less and there's too much going on to get a nice overview.

nice view but seem slower.

Same here...be thankful... CM has market updates blocked. I've tried the new market on other devices and it sucks imo. Like someone said the green area at the top takes up too much real estate and the coverflow takes awhile to load. The old market is much better and faster, imo.

Like someone posted, it's all form and no function added as far as I can tell.
