### 2/5 — It’s the worst version of the store on your phone

*2026-08-17*

Baffled at how this app is managed. It front loads shoveware slop and rip off games first and foremost before actually showing you other games by reputable developers. Right now there’s a huge sale on Capcom titles by you wouldn’t know that through the app. You’d only see excellent titles promoted like “find the sneaky chameleon” a game that has the surface of being a Meccha chameleon clone while actually being an anime lewd slop game. Or even the stellar “Lethal Corporation” an obvious trick on lethal company. You’re better off using the web page to look at the store if not using your switch/2 system directly.

### 4/5 — Suggestions

*2026-08-13*

I really like the app but I have 2 suggestions on how to make it better. I wish it was part of the other Nintendo app, it's weird and confusing for it to be 2 different apps like this. My second suggestion is that I wish that people could review games. I like to know other people's thoughts on games and that helps me determine whether I want to buy it or not.

### 4/5 — Over all a good app.

*2026-08-04*

My only real complaint with the app is that it’s, its own app. I really wish they would just integrate everything in this app into one Nintendo app or into the switch app. It feels a bit much to have to have two separate apps. Other than that I love that you can buy things that aren’t just the games. 

I’ve seen some complaints about notifications honestly just turn notifications off for the app honestly.

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-07-26*

Melhor app já feito pela Nintendo

### 1/5 — Shopping app that does not do shopping

*2026-07-26*

When you try to buy anything just opens the safari store page, the app does not handle any shopping is just a catalog viewer.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

*2026-06-28*

Could u maybe add some merchandise for final fantasy? I would really like that and also the princess zelda botw plush is out of stock so would u mind making it in stock again cuz I really liked it. By the way, could u also make another botw type of game like since totk is basically botw 2 can u make a third one like that? Cuz I really love those TLoZ games

### 5/5 — Muito bom a premissa e a execução, mas estou com problemas

*2026-06-21*

Eu não estou conseguindo logar na minha conta no app, da erro ao tentar, em navegadores e switch 2 não tem problema nenhum e minhas 2 contas não tem problema ou qualquer tipo de punição, é realmente problema do app, estou com esse problema desde de ontem (26/12)

### 4/5 — Needs more sorting and filtering features

*2026-06-05*

I like to go on the switch store to browse whats on sale. The shop on the actual switch allows the ability to sort the deals page by best selling but to my disappointment the phone app doesn’t have this filtering method. Please add, this would be very useful to me.

### 1/5 — Unmöglich, wenn man für Titel doppelt bezahlt

*2026-06-05*

Meiner Tochter wurde ein passendes Spiel im Angebot vorgestellt. Erst nach dem kostenpflichtigen Kauf stellte sich raus, dass es nur ein Add-On war und ohne das eigentliche Spiel nicht funktioniert.
Bei dem Kauf des eigentlichen Spiels für 49,99 € war das bezahlte Add-On auch wieder enthalten, also doppelt bezahlt. Entgegenkommen vom Kundenservice = Fehlanzeige. Enttäuschende Erfahrung.

### 4/5 — Great Alternative to eShop

*2026-05-31*

I often find myself picking up my Switch or Switch 2 just to see what the eShop has on sale. This app makes finding the deals through my phone more convenient. 

However, one change I’d make to it is that games I purchased that were once on my wishlist still appear on my wishlist, which leaves me disappointed when I see there’s games on sale on my wishlist, only to find a majority of them were games I already purchased. If this could be fixed, that’d be great.
