Anybody trying the new android market?

[RestInPieces209]

Seems pretty cool. But very slow... Takes forces to load and download. Anyone else having problems?

I just installed about half hour ago and I have to say it's fantastic! Google is on UI TEAR right now #winning.

I really like how they condensed the app list into two columns and made each smaller. It now shows 14 apps per page on my Sensation where the old Market only showed like 5 or 6. Makes scrolling through content much faster.

I also really like the additions of the "Top Grossing", "Top New Paid", "Top New Free", and "Trending" categories. Will make app discovery much more useful!

My only gripe is that it doesn't show the file size for an app UNTIL you start downloading. This is info that needs to stay up front!

I agree with just about everything you said. They did great with the new market. So you are not. Having the same speed issues as me?

Oops I left that part out. It IS a lil slow compared to the old market, little lag but nothing too crazy. I think mostly b/c there is much more info on each page now and the way it loads the thumbnails/images, even though they are smaller. I'm sure they will iron it out quickly though

Google did an amazing job.

It looks so clean and beautiful, everything is organized better, etc. And I'm not having the slow loads or anything that you are having. It's actually faster. With the old market you would click download and it would take a second or 2 to start, but on this new market I click download and it's literally instant. I love it.

It actually looks like a market that should be on a high end OS/phone, unlike the old market.

Slow for me as well. It'll take a while to get used to the new format, but so far so good.

Nope, my widget is working perfect too.

Where did you download from? I downloaded from the link on the androidcentral.com article.

Working well for me. A little slow on first use then it clears right up.

Got my apk from the link on Engadget article.

The size of the file IS there. Just hit the "more" tab.

just trying it out too -- its pretty slick. The front page is a little busy perhaps, but overall its great.

 

[Crusher16]

I'm liking it as well.

 

[swiftinmotion]

Installed it earlier.. Love it!!

new market is slick as hell. I love it. I don't really notice too much of a lag compared to the old market, which I hated in the first place especially in landscape mode. The new one looks more sophisticated.

fyi, in case nobody caught on, when you hit the menu button and go into setting while in the market, you can deselect "recieve interest based ads". I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I really don't have any lag. Also, I pulled the battery right after I installed it so some of you guys might wanna try that too.
