Anyone download the new version yet? I did, haven't bought anything but first glance, I like the redesigned UI...other than that, have to catch up on the RSS feeds and see what BR had to say about it :)

I have but have not had the time to actually mess with it.

Wow .... I really like this new version!!!
You can tell it's been designed for touch screen usage (i"m on a 9700) - but it still works really well.
I like the new interface and the whole app seems better designed.
Had no probs downloading OTA - I'm in Aus.
+1 from me!!!

I just hope they fixed some of the bugs where the reinstall or update button was missing. Otherwise, the new interface is nice. I still wish they would do a better job at breaking down some of the categories. When there are several hundred apps in a category, it's a bit tough to find things.

The new UI is pretty cool looking, and I like how you can share it with all the major social avenues. I haven't really messed with it though.

One odd thing I've noticed though is that when I selected the category Travel, Planning it gave me 25 apps in the 'Show all' field.
So I put these in alpha order and by the time I was near the bottom the list self revised and I got 50 apps listed, and then when I was near the end of that list, it self revised and the process continued until I got a lot more list revisions.
Don't know if it was a bug - but it was hard to use cause you had to keep going back to the top of the list to see what had been added.
May have just been a temporary quirk because when I checked on it again this morning the list opened at 125 apps.
On the plus side it's great that when you click on one of the apps you then just swipe to see the Summary, Reviews, screenshots.

Not mines but I did have a banner issue the other day.

I had that a couple of days ago but don't seem to have any problems now.
Have you tried a reboot on your PB, sometimes that seems to solve these weird little glitches.

Maybe its a sign of OS 2 coming.

Nope I've had it forever. I've noticed that my girlfriend's Appworld takes less time but i thought it might be because she has way less Apps.
Can someone do a test for me. It just took 42 seconds for mine to fully load. Please post you time. My PB works fine otherwise so I'm not sure if there is anything I could do to fix it. I've had this issue even through multiple OS updates.
UPdate when I went out of Appworld and back into it, it took 6 seconds to load. Perhaps you guys are checking App World more often that I am????

I rarely check app world, maybe you need to reload your OS.

like I said I've had this happen over several OS updates.

Well I check app world every 2-3 days. It takes roughly 6 seconds to load completely. When it was going glitchy on me it either didn't load at all, took 30+ seconds to load or tells me app world isn't available...
