Nintendo Switch App Positive Reviews
Needs some work...So, as we all know, Nintendo has had some questionable game experiences as with their past online gaming qualities. But, there’s a lot of things that should be fixed about this app and just the service. But, I am talking about the app, not the service. Anyway, voice chat. There is a possible way to make this better: Allow us to use a headset via the headphone jack, implement a audio jack in the Switch Pro Controller. You get the idea. Also, if you have the app and you enter a game that is supported, you can replace voice chat with an actual chat; and other people can chat with a headset. Here’s another idea...another chat function. It would be nice if through this app you could chat to your friends...especially for Animal Crossing, as you have codes. It would also be just convenient. Most of the previous features are only here for convenience. “Everybody relies on and uses their phone, so why not implement a voice chat system in the app?” Other things I think are useful, but my list of possible things they could change could work if applied..FlamgapperVersion: 1.9.0
More use for games it’s designed forI really do like the spirit team creation features for ultimate and the recording side for splatoon but if this review get in the app developers hands I would recommend having more immersive features added for support for the games like guides or character stats or how in game tip are read through loading screen as well as update history so it’s one place they can quickly access instead of going to a website and waiting for people to sift through it and for spirit team building it would be helpful for it to display descriptions on what the effects do and if they stack or not and I would suggest that for any games that are supported by this app if DLC is made available details can be seen through the app as well as game purchase like how on the console you a wishlist or prepurchase option it’d be convenient if the eshop and its contents are visible through the app just like how Sony and Microsoft do with their apps in relation to their platforms you can buy the games and dlc using a mobile cellular device without being restricted of not have WiFi connections to make purchases for the console whether you have it in your hand or not.The crimson blurVersion: 1.5.1
It isn’t perfect but...The Nintendo Switch Online app is honestly something that should be praised in its efforts instead of shamed for the final production. The app was made to give another point of view on nintendo switch games and make it easier to connect to your Nintendo Switch friends.
The app has additional functionality for Splatoon 2, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and Online Voice Chat. The Splatoon 2 and SSBU portions are very well put together and makes things for the user very beneficial in terms of finding what they need quickly, and providing good additional content for your Switch games.
The Online Voice Chat is not the best, but it definitely isn’t the worst. The purpose of the chat system is to talk to friends, teammates, and other in-game allies in NSO supported games. Sure it may be a bit buggy or laggy, but it could be WAY worse. A lot of people will state “we can just use X app instead of this for voice chat” and will poorly rate this app for that exact reason. I say for what they were trying to do for the users of the app, they succeeded..NintenbroAlexVersion: 1.5.2
Certainly an app that has functionsI am not one to complain about what i am given, and for the most part, that applies to this app as well. i use this almost exclusively to check splatoon modes and salmon run shifts, and likely will continue to after splatoon 3 releases. as much convenience as this app has offered me, i do believe there to be lots more unused potential in this app that i would be so hyped to see realized! i'd love to see the clip-sharing opportunities the ssb section expanded upon--being able to share clips from any game, browsing ones your friends have shared, maybe even discovering some that are popular among fans. the app would also be a wonderful place to spread announcements and relevant news through notifications--and widgets! it would be wonderful if i could easily view information such as salmon run shifts or mode rotations from the convenience of the home page. this app harbors so much potential, and as an Avid Nintendo Switch User i really hope to see it grow..Lesbian poetVersion: 2.2.0
Needs to be included on the console!Edit-1: Because the last patch addressed so many of my initial issues I'm revising my score from 1 star to 3 stars. I still believe the chat functionality needs to be native on the Switch and not on a mobile phone that creates a clumsy setup. That said they fixed enough issues for me to raise the rating.
Most of the functionality of this app should be included on the console. To have this exclusively on a phone app is cumbersome and unnecessarily.
That being said if you do have an app it should have certain functions that all other console apps have. This app has none of the following:
1) Ability to work when the screen is locked is a must. This app does not allow this and if the screen locks you're disconnected from chat. This will cause major battery drain.
2) You should be able to multitask. You cannot open another app when the Switch app is open. If you do you'll be disconnected from chat. No texts, no web-browser, no email, and no phone.
3) You should have the ability to message anyone on your friends list. Sadly you can only talk with people actively in the lobby you create. If you see a friend online you can't just message them to see what game to play.
All the above are functions that Sony and Microsoft have on their console apps. There are also 3rd party apps such as Discord that provide these functions. I would recommend using one of these 3rd party apps for your Nintendo online gaming. This is a surprisingly lazy effort by Nintendo!.BrigantineVersion: 1.1.0
Hassle when I can just make a vc on Xbox for the same thing and shorter timeThis is a good app just a hassle becuse nobody uses it and you can just make a discord vc PlayStation vc or xbox party n half the time and I wish switch had a thing to message people but no and why do you have to have to have a smart device just to make a vc and not just do what xbox and PlayStation do and let you make a vc on the acthullal counsel and Nintendo switch online is not good you have to pay money just to play with real people the exspanshion pack is good tho i will say switch does have a easy way to enter a online room to play with a friend if you do buy switch online it is a bit harder then PlayStation or Xbox but still efficient and I git this isint a Nintendo switch review but really Nintendo why did you stop making 2d Mario games this is bassicly all I have I hop a dev reads this but based off how busy Nintendo is and big I bet they won’t read it.Augie10s08Version: 2.5.1
Small but important nitpickI know this is so small compared to NSO and the stigma around it, but why is there barely anything for Eggstra Work in SplatNet3? It’s on the same page as Big Run, but we can’t see stats or high scores at all?! Why can we only see how many times we’ve gotten in the top 5%? So many Salmon Run players work so hard to overfish to practice for these events, yet not only do they happen once a season, but Eggstra Work receives very little fanfare at all. It got more attention on Splatoon JP’s Twitter than in the game itself or in the DEDICATED APP. Please give Eggstra Work the same love that Splatfests and Big Run get. Not even 1 million players have even played the event, which is a tiny fraction out of the 15 million who own Splatoon 3. I know not all of this relates to the app, but it would help get the event more known and get more people to play the game. If you are reading this Nintendo, thank you very much for your time..Somebody who has a phoneVersion: 2.5.2
Pros and Cons. (AND SUGGESTIONS)While the app is very easy (I use it for animal crossing) I wish there was more.
So my first point is that Nintendo Online is a little overrated. I love the low price, it’s very convenient. But for a lot of people, I’ve heard and read, (and I agree) we used to be able to have all these features built in for a much lower price. I do think that this is a little money hungry, but because I use Nintendo Online purely for animal crossing, I am satisfied with the product.
After saying that, I wish the Animal Crossing part of the app had more features!! Please, please add more. Some ideas that would be good would be to add your encyclopedia into the app so you can see what bugs and fish your villager have caught from the app. Another thing that is helpful would be a calendar to show you things like villagers’ birthdays and when the fishing tournaments are! This would make it 10x more amazing than it already is.
Thank you!! :).Ups and Downs of ACNHVersion: 1.6.1
Zelda Notes App is….OKAYWent back in to play BOTW and TOTK with this app. Easily the best Zelda tracker for those trying to get all the Koroks, Shrines, and Quests finished BUT it has absolutely no DLC support. Shame they went thru with this amazing idea of an app, then just completely neglected DLC and all Chest locations. Great idea, but feels unfinished. Cannot give it above a 3 star for this reason alone. Very disappointing. Daily Bonus also needs to scale with in-game difficulty. Rewards are useful in the first 2 hours of gameplay, outside that they are near useless. Item Sharing is good in theory (haven’t tried it) but it seemed clunky to use. They need to consider implementing this in the next Zelda game to make it even SLIGHTLY multiplayer. Voice Memories are a perfect addition to an already complete game, just wish it was linked to a Quest in-game instead of just app based. I should say this is all based on BOTW play-through, have not tried TOTK yet..JfnskdbdbensjzndbdksoshVersion: 3.0.2
Great StartThis app is a great start and has a lot of potential. Yes, voice chat on phones are a bit silly for playing online. It should have been imbedded into the switch, like some third party headphones you can buy to voice chat with others. Sadly, this app only offers Splatoon 2 and not other games, but the switch is only a year old so you have to give it time. Plus some games do not even offer multiplayer mode like Splatoon 2. You can not voice chat or even play Mario Odyssey in multiplayer mode. Hopefully that makes sense. I believe Nintendo has a lot up there sleeves as new games are being developed. Then this app may help a lot. If you really wanted to voice chat there is always Discord or other voice chat apps, but if you are comparing it with Xbox or PS4 then you shouldn’t even own a switch because Nintendo does there own unique thing and most people are happy with what they are doing..Huey Jackson JrVersion: 1.1.3
Not bad. Could be better.Now, this app is really good. I don't know if it’s because of compatibility issues, but whatever it is, I haven’t had any issues like crashes with this app like what others are saying. It is a great way to talk to Switch friends while in game, like the sole purpose of the app is. The problem is, it must be in a supported game. You cant call or message them to see if they are available. That’s something that irritates me because, as a Smash Ultimate player, I really like playing online with my friends, especially one in particular. I need to go through a bunch of arenas to figure out where he is, and I normally cant find anyone and give up. If you could add a messaging feature and restrict when you can call someone, I’d be happy to use this more, and you’d probably help not just me but many other users. Thank you for reading this (if you are)..TheGunningWolfVersion: 1.4.1
Nice, but problem.I have a little brother who loves to play Zelda games with me. But ever since we got Zelda Notes, we kept having to log out and log in to each of our profiles to scan each others QR codes, and it gets really annoying. Why can't there just be an option to save a profile, and just select it when you log in? And I don't know if there already is. If there is a way to do that, can you please tell me how?
We also have another thing. Not a problem, but a request :)
Can you add some Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity and Age of Imprisonment profile rewards to the Nintendo Switch online sometime soon? I really want to use Calamo/mini Deku Tree as my profile pic.
Ps- Compliment :D
OMG the final battle with the Forbidden Construct was literally so epic, I had no words when I beat it!!! Keep it up!!!
Also, can you give me a small hint on what the next open world Zelda game will be? Can it still have Sky islands and the depths? Those additions in TotK were awesome! Can the next game have you be able to go beyond Hyrule? Maybe traveling through time, or maybe other planets, dimensions, ooooh back in time to when the Zonai were still alive! And noooo!!!! What about BEFORE the Zonai??? What came before??? Idk I am so proud of your games 🥲

No actual chat functionI almost exclusively use this for Splatoon 3, and it’s great! But I do have some problems with it. 1. No genuine regular chat function at all, I sometimes play with my friends on voice chat. But I just wish I could chat sometimes.
2. There is exclusive stuff like gear that you can’t get in game. Yes people can download the app but some people don’t even know this app exists so they’re missing out on a lot of content, for example: The next 2 salmon run rotations, or any mode rotations. You cant see most of the progress you see on the app in game.
3. You can't see your progress for badges in game and even in the app it’s pretty hard to see how much progress you’ve made.
In conclusion, I think the app is very useful but just has some problems that should be addressed, but it’s Nintendo so it’s a coin flip..JVSTG4L4XYVersion: 2.10.1
Good Ideas, Bad BaseI love splatnet for Splatoon it's a really good idea I Actually wouldn't mind this app if the Switch app had a different base but sadly it does not. The main point from what I understand was the chat system and It failed bad. I tried to be optimistic but it's like a worse discord + the only saving grace that is splatnet.
1.For one you can't chat while your not playing a game.
2.You can't leave the app and still hear anybody. It doesn't really affect much but it's dumb.
3. It supports nothing else. I'll be honest I don't
Have MK8DX or Arms. But it doesn't support it. I understand that MK8 and Arms can't have something like splatnet but why can't you voice chat with it on those games. I hope they add it sooner but once again it's dumb. How are you gonna release an app and have it only support one game.
As I stated earlier this app is pretty much only useful if you have Splatoon 2 because of Splatnet which is once Again a REALLY good idea and it works really well. But besides that your better off just using discord. Me and my friends end up using discord over the app even when where playing Splatoon 2. Note:Use headphones when using Discord it'll be hard to hear otherwise. I can see this app getting better. It's not broken and can definitely improve but as it stands it's only really good for splatnet..MorraskinVersion: 1.1.0
Judged a bit harshlyIt’s not the best app but is judged a bit harshly. So first the fact that you need the online membership to use the app makes sense, because what would you do on the app aside from play with your friends online? And if you didn’t have one of the games that were supported then again, you wouldn’t have any real use for the app. There’s plenty of other apps that you could use for voice calls, this app is just for people doing call while playing games simultaneously. And also the online membership is a bargain compared to the memberships offered by Microsoft and Sony. This app could’ve been designed a lot better or implemented directly onto the console, but it still is an okay app. I honestly think I’ll just keep on using FaceTime instead of this, but I still think that people are giving this app a hard time..(Joshua_of_Rome)Version: 1.7.0
Love itOk to all the negative ratings... please stop it's rude the switch most likely can't handle VC being built into it. I love this app it's a completely new way Nintendo is making VC available like everyone wanted. Yes the app is free the online service is not they are aware all free apps have some sort of payment to it so they get paid for it being used and add new updates/ features. Rating it bad for one reason (VC) is not going to help them. Suggest ideas like what I'd like to see in an update would be more compatible games, have it be able to be widgets compatible with who is online and have a message system if you mute your mic and lastly being able to send and receive friend requests in app. These are just ideas not demands. LOVE YOU NINTENDO KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK YOU DO FOR YOUR COMPANY❤️❤️❤️.SnowWolfieVersion: 1.4.1
People are whiney manchildren, the app is good.Firstly, I would like to say, it does what it says it does; nothing more, nothing less. As somebody who plays splatoon 2 A LOT, I love being able to see what friends are on which team for splatfests, being able to get exclusive gears, and view a lot of data of your profile. Also I would like to say voice chat will technically work even without a mic attachment. Also, people will NOT stop complaining about bad connection for online games, which is more than likely THEIR WiFi, so people SERIOUSLY need to invest in a lan adapter. Compared to other online services, I think $20/Year is a fair price; but mainly because I practically never have connection issues, even though I do not own a lan adapter. It does what it’s meant to..KING_Fresh27Version: 1.8.0
ZELDA NOTESZelda notes shouldn’t be a switch 2 exclusive, re-releasing an 8 year old game and making the only appeal the better graphics and a new app feature is desperate, as much as i love nintendo, anything switch 2 related has been nothing short of disappointing, and as someone who is still replaying botw and totk on the switch lite, i was extremely upset to realize that zelda notes was going to be switch 2 exclusive. Other features of this app are alright, but i also have issues with my animal crossing island in this app. I started out with the regular switch, then transferred to the switch lite, but when i did so my island never transferred, and i can’t change it to the new island i started on the lite in this app, so im just stuck looking at an island i no longer go on..Switz_<3Version: 3.0.1
Zelda notes are fire but need to track a bit moreI really love that I can track my BOTW progression. Some people aren’t a fan but as a veteran of the game I decided to turn off my in-game map through settings (Pro HUD) and explore the world using the audio directions. It’s a lot harder but it’s a challenge that gets me to spend more time enjoying the game. I’ve spent a lot of my time just climbing around trying to find the sun so I can tell which direction is north to find all the shrines and korok seeds. Definitely worth it if you have the switch 2 edition. My only complaints are that there is no way to track some in game items like armor, special trinkets or progress in terry town which I’d consider all collectibles necessary for a 100% playthrough..D_manmannVersion: 3.0.1
Wish they had a built in party system like Xbox and ps4I been playing Nintendo since I was 4 years old I love their games And System’s for the years I think the switch is amazing system for at home and on the go but I feel if they did a better job with a voice chat system I would enjoy it more also have Bluetooth support the app is ok I do like the Nintendo virtual online service I like to see snes and n64 and GameCube games come to the Nintendo online service but with that being said I been loveing all the games on it for the most part had not had any issues also like useing the pro controller looking forward to Mario maker 2 direct today anyway that’s all I going to say the app works ok but could be better.Billybob200000Version: 1.5.1
Nintendo you can do a lot betterAssuming that you have to be 13 to already use this app I’d inspect more for a mature audience let text chatting through maybe iMessage or the app itself, or allow us to voice chat on the switch itself if I can take my switch on the go why do I want to use another portable device separate It feels like how in Mario Party 10 for amibo Party where you took your turn by tapping your figure to the game pad but I still had to use the wii remote to play the mini games or for certain events. One thing I do like is being able to chat while in sleep mode and ussing a different app but that’s about it also why not have us use it for all online multiplayer games especially arms since that’s like the new splatoon I don’t know if I’m even going to by the online service now..KatnisfanboyVersion: 1.1.3
Pretty good for Splatoon playersIf you’re like me who plays Splatoon then you’ll find this app useful as this is where you can see battle stats and stuff like that, there is even a shop where you can order gear that have different abilties.
This app also has nooklink, which is alright. You can scan qr codes for custom designs, get daily nook points for exclusive stuff, and type more easier. I play animal crossing but don’t use this nearly as much as splatnet.
The other services are zelda notes, which can serve as a GPS alongside some features you can access in game (daily effects, voice memories, etc), smash world, which lets you see uploaded videos and stuff (you will never use this, trust me) and another cool feature is you can send screenshots and videos directly from your switch 2 (idk if this is also a switch 1 thing) to the switch app. Much better than the previous method of having to scan 2 qr codes.
Overall, this app serves its purpose and if you use NSO and switch and all that then you will find this app satisfactory..Skull8rVersion: 3.0.3
Absolutely Love this AppI absolutely love the Nintendo Switch online app. I can easily be notified when my friends are online. I only use this for Animal Crossing New Horizons. Some of the things I wish were available is an option to delete old island (if you see your old island in change player settings) if you restarted to a new island and the option to type full sentences in the chat in Animal Crossing New Horizons. I hope there will be a delete player in change player section part of the settings in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Keep up the good work and thank you to the developers making the app better and better with each update..SkyAngel09Version: 2.10.1
The problem with the 1 starsI understand your guys’ need to vent about voice chat not being imbedded into the console but that’s not a description of this application itself. this app is s u p e r helpful alongside the Nintendo Switch. voice chat is integrated into games by a case by case basis on games however due to the secondary nature of the switch’s friend capabilities i don’t think we should expect a party system to come along any day soon, furthermore since calling your switch friend with your phone is what you’d do anyway to work around this issue this app is fabulous. also switch’s don’t have bluetooth headset comparability for whatever reason so this app allows us to circumvent this. nice job nintendo.Shade the reveiwerVersion: 1.4.1
Where’s the other games?Nintendo, I’ve liked your consoles and games from day one but the apps are kinda 5/10 for me. 2/3 aren’t even iPad formatted (a basic thing for an app developer), and this app in particular needs way more services then just 3-4 main ones! Splatoon 2 stopped around 3 years ago, and almost everyone doesn’t use the app for it. Maybe add an app for Mario Kart World where you can track your progress or something. The rebrand is cool, but dangling Zelda notes in front of our faces is cruel. Just add it on June fifth instead of having it there inoperable! I really think the app experience for Nintendo users can be improved by just basic things, so please take this into consideration..GoatTechVersion: 3.0.1
Its a good app but doesnt updateI deleted my old island a few months after downloading this app last year in july. I restarted my island and renamed it and everything. I went to check the app on my phone to see if it updated my nook phone but it still stuck on my old island which i deleted the data for. Ive tried to fix it but it doesn’t work. I logged out of it on my phone and logged back in hoping it would get new data that i reset my island but it didn't. I tried deleting the app and re-downloading it, still didn't work. I cant find anything on the support page to help me so im hoping by writing this review, someone can help me out? Or maybe just let some people know it doesnt update your island if it was deleted. If anyone knows how to help please help me lol..Charlie EdmondsVersion: 1.10.0
Wish one thingIf this whole online chat system is ran through an app it could be more. A simple update is all that’s needed. You guys are so close to satisfying me! Most of my friends are hooked on the darn Xbox nowadays 🙄 so my friends I usually make online. I add friends but what can I really do with that? It’s not like it is actually easy to just join them in a simple party and play online matches. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been with Nintendo since I was 5. But the update would be nice. I guess the only thing I can do right now is play random people. Just think though. If friends could easily join a party and strategize a team, would be a game changer. It would be the ultimate challenge. But for now I’m going to keep playing 🤝.Musictomyears89Version: 1.4.1
Needs more game-specific servicesI think that you should add more game-specific services because I don’t have Splatoon 2 and I was hoping to play some Mariokart 8 Deluxe On here or something else. You should definitely add more games to voice chat in. It says “services”, but there is only one service. Although I am sure this is still a work in progress and is set to be complete in 2018, there should still be a few other things to do. Anyways, I hope you keep this in mind and I hope to see some other games somewhere In this app soon!.ExplodedMushroomVersion: 1.1.3

TERRIBLE APP!!!I’m sorry to say this Nintendo, but your online system IS RIDICULOUS!!! You make amazing and well-developed systems with the BEST games of all-time. From classics to modernize, you manage to improve greatly! As you are amazing at the accomplishments you’ve made during the years, knowingly some things were flawed, one thing I have to say is that you continue to worsen in is LACK OF PROPER ONLINE FEATURES!! I know you have gotten complaints about this before, but it’s clear that you have a online system for a reason! How is it that there’s a friend system, but still can’t chat with friends mainly out and occasions inside games?!?! You got rid of your old online system for a alternative?! A inconsiderate attempt to download a app that doesn’t support very much gaming. What I suggest is maybe considering listening to those around you to add friend messaging much like your competitors with able ability to start parties to voice chat in the background while playing a software. Rather you up the system or create an app WITHIN your switch system that enables these features, without the need of phones or devices! No offense to this app, but it’s no good!! I’ve been having a few problems that I don’t feel the need to go in details with. You’re an amazing company, but you lack at working in the fields of online systems. You guys have the capabilities, but you don’t give yourself that management, and you should try working at that too! Thank you, and hope you understand. :).DCNationYTVersion: 1.1.3
A antiquated solution for a company stuck in the past......I didn’t mind the app at first, especially given that I’ve never had an opportunity to utilize it, moreover, none of my fiends who own Switch own Splatoon. But, now that they EXPECT me to pay for this service I’m miffed to put it mildly.
Nintendo is so focused on protecting children, that it comes at the total expense of their more mature audience. This is just the sort of thing that caused me to skip the Wii-U & buy an X-Box 360, & the ONLY reason I’m back is because of the greed present in modern gaming: micro-transactions, day 1 DLC, lack of single player, & etc. Nintendo doesn’t seem to be on that bandwagon, but they are still stuck in the past with regards to online gaming.
I didn’t mind paying Microsoft to access their online service, moreover, it had EVERYTHING I needed: DMs, party chat, seamless online integration, a functional buddy list, & in-game voice chat. The Switch has almost none of these features, & it’s outrageous that they expect us to pay them given that. I’d play more Splatoon if I could talk to my teammates, but I can’t & it’s frustrating. The Switch already has parental controls, expand those to protect children so you don’t have to hinder my experience. If anything, I need protection from those children online!! I rarely had trouble with other adults while playing Halo or Gears of War, however, I frequently had to mute 12 year olds whom always seemed to know about my sexual preferences or deceased mother some how. 😒.Lecto-SamaVersion: 1.1.3
Used to work, now it doesn’t launchMy device is an iPhone 11 IOS 15.5 and the app used to work perfectly fine prior to your update when you gave the app a UI enhancement overhaul, the app looks beautiful from the pictures provided and I’ve been very excited to start using the Nintendo app every day now. I check the Appstore every day for an update that could hopefully patch this issue, and nothing yet. Sadly I’ve quite literally checked the App Store daily for about 3 months now and nothing. The Nintendo app does launch, after prompting to sign in I do, and immediately after selecting my profile I get a brief black screen and crash. I’d desperately wanted this issue patched and would be eternally grateful if there were a bug fix patch that would allow me to use the app again. Once again very beautiful job with the UI overhaul and new integrations but it would be nice if I could experience them with the rest of everyone lol.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review, I’ll remove the review and give you another 5 star review when I’m able to use the app again. You’re a bright and talented team so I’m looking forward to a patch in the very near future!
Thanks again.Tyler worhamVersion: 2.1.1
Please use this app as an opportunity to go above and beyond.This app could have been something really great. I love the idea of ditching the headset for my phone and a pair of buds. But then I saw that only a very small handful of games are supported. Why? Why isn’t there a small little notification that pops up in the corner of the T.V. screen when someone joins the voice chat room. The uselessness of this app is mind boggling. I would love to be able to access something like an activity log on the 3ds, or buy stuff on the Eshop straight from my phone (like the Steam app). There’s nothing to say about this app, because it literally doesn’t do anything, apart from a horribly implemented voice chat system, a keyboard for Animal Crossing, and some extra gear for Splatoon 2. Smash’s section is the most useless of em’ all. Only being able to look at recently uploaded stage builder stages, without the ability to filter it and see the popular, actually good stuff.
Overall, when it comes to games, Nintendo hit it out of the park this generation. But when it comes to hardware and software other than games, they’ve reached the bottom of the barrel (you could also say their starting to ‘drift’ off course)..DatBoiOnAKoiVersion: 1.10.0
Looking back on Nintendo onlineI got my second Nintendo console in 2017 around September or December, when I was around ten or eleven. Nothing was like the switch. It was almost magical! it had everything that made the Wii great, and even more.
it was almost like It was the only thing I ever did then. Game after game I completed, and release after release I excitedly waited for. but then I noticed something in 2018. My joy cons were acting a little wonky. The motion controls moved by themselves. The joysticks too. I was so confused, this was never an issue on other consoles. I searched for solutions everywhere but they were all complicated and unusable at the time. I just had to live with it, and this was the start of my eventual hatred of this console. Soon came Nintendo switch online of which I didn’t have for months. I couldn’t play any of the games I wanted to, and when i got it, I was astounded on how much it didn’t work. Smash was unplayable, splatoon 2 was a disaster, and any game with online to come after failed even worse. This app didn’t work even more, as despite the convoluted form of the voice chat system, it was a cool novelty. But now, I have to pay for it. 20 bucks for a year isn’t much, but why? There’s no reason to pay for an online service that doesn’t work that goes with a console that is a technological failiure that goes with an app that solved an issue that never needed fixing. I technically have 12 pairs of joycons now, eight of which successfully broken. the switch is a nightmare, it almost seems like it was on purpose.
As you, Nintendo, fight amidst a lawsuit for your failiure and your own company denying its existence, I hope you think about the failiures of the switch and this service you make us pay for, because if I may be frank, it’s horrible and you should never do it again..MarumicoreVersion: 1.10.0
Not about Nintendo OnlineI’m not going to sit here and whine about an online service that requires servers to run costing money, especially when it costs *33%* of what other, older services historically cost per year.
Get over it people. 17 years ago games were made out of sprites and 7 years ago they were made out of what I’ll now call primitive 3D renders. These assets were previously made by skilled, professional adults. Well, guess what, times have changed and now *little children* make these assets for fun in their art or graphic design class. Times simply are not the same, nor are they at all comparable. Things don’t stay free forever. Anyone who actually complains about this demonstrates a lack of critical thinking and makes the rest of us look bad.
Instead what I’ll complain about is downloading this app three (3) weeks ago on iOS 13.5 and not being able to even sign into the app for the first time, with the app only showing an infinite loading circle on a grey background. There have been no further patches in these 3 weeks or word from developers regarding the issue..DnrncnndnxvndnxVersion: 1.7.0
Not good for Nintendo's online payment. Also a horrible ideaI don't think we should be using an APP to voice chat with our friends. This feature should be built into the switch. Also if you want to protect young players, make a party system like Microsoft on Xbox One and Sony on ps4. And if that's not good enough, make the party system Friends only. What I'm trying to say, is that there are so many solutions to chatting. And Nintendo didn't follow one. Before we start paying you for online, PUT VOICE CHAT ON THE SWITCH! Also another reason this app is horrible, is because it only supports splatoon 2. Only that game out of all the games on this amazing console. Nintendo, listen to your fans. Or else, when people start paying online, you don't scratch your heads wondering why your not making as much money as you though. Not to mention your online history has already been horrible. We shouldn't be using an app to chat for a console game. All I'm saying is put voice chat on switch and listen to the community before we pay for online..Supercena1000Version: 1.1.3
Bug and ComplaintsMy internet is fine on my end, and I even tried with cellular data and as soon as I open the app it says that I have poor internet connection. I’ve been trying to use the app for a month but it says the same message every day and prohibits me from using it. I paid for a 3 month membership to see if I would continue paying for it later on but this service doesn’t even work. I want to scan QR codes and that is one of the main reasons why I paid for Online and the app doesn’t even work. I just deleted it and am going to download it again and see if that somehow fixes it but the fact that I even have to do that makes this app get a bad rating from me. Also, nobody likes having to pay for Online. We already spent loads on the switch console (expensive as hell) and loads on the games that require Online to even be fun. Shows how greedy big companies are, and shows how they don’t care about the consumer. Horrible service..Ilimae:3Version: 1.6.1
This should be built into the Switch..It’s 2017 for crying out loud! This should be built into the the switch! All the other consoles you can chat and talk to your friends without this app... even the Xbox 360 and PS3 had it, so power should not be an issue. If you want to hear your game, and not just your chat, you are going to need a bunch of adapters in order to do this not to mention phone chargers and your Switch undocked with it charging in the awful place the charger is located at.. with all of this... my Switch is my console for Nintendo exclusives... and my Xbox One is for everything else... it’s almost to the point where you might was well use Skype because it doesn’t drain you phone battery as quickly!
The first party games on Switch, make it 100% worth getting one... (Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime 4)(and many more if you never had a Wii U.. (I have one) )but all the other games.. are better played on all other platforms, unless you want to play on the go....RyanRetoGamer7Version: 1.1.0
PointlessThe only reason why I originally signed up for switch online was for Smash Bros. I like fighting with online players because it’s more challenging than just playing against the game’s AI. I don’t actually want to talk to those people though and can’t really think of a reason why anybody would...
Later I found the virtual console stuff for the NES and SNES I am certainly happy that those are on there, but I feel like there aren’t really very many games on there, and of the ones they have only a few are really good and nostalgic. I’m a little upset because on past consoles (like the Wii and the 3DS) you didn’t have to pay a recurring fee to play virtual console games. You only had to pay for the initial game itself and download it and then just have it forever. I personally much prefer paying $5 to $10 one time for some classic 8 bit game that I can play forever than paying $20 a year to have access to that one game plus a bunch of others that I’m never going to play!.VeeneroonioliumVersion: 1.6.1
More Frustrating Than No Online serviceWhen playing Smash last night, my friends and I tried using this app for voice chat thinking “It can’t be that bad, the internet exaggerates”. I am here to report that the internet did not exaggerate. It is that bad.
All you can do is “start voice chat” which opens a voice chat with everyone in your online session. But in smash online, every match is a session and where you put your token on the match setup screen counts as a different session. So who you can talk to is constantly changing, with people dropping in or out depending on what they’re doing. This is baffling.
On top of this poor design, the app devours battery and does not handle gracefully your phone locking or shutting off the screen, with chat cutting out when this happens. I was constantly having to tap my phone screen to keep it awake.
And lastly, it crashes. You’d wonder why nobody was talking to you, look down at your phone, and it would be sitting back on the home screen, the app having crashed out. After the 6th crash it wasn’t funny enough to keep using and I switched to Discord. This was a 0/10 experience. Not only was it inconvenient, it didn’t do what I wanted, it was confusing, and it crashed constantly. Nintendo should be embarrassed. This is worse than if they had offered nothing at all.
I’m mad I paid for this terrible online service..ZackSchillingVersion: 1.4.1
I’ve gone and restarted my animal crossing islandOnce you complete the story and make your island 5 stars there’s honestly nothing really to do and so I reset my island (and the backed up data) and made a new one and saved the data to whatever it is and it still shows my old island and I’ve tried multiple things but nothing has fixed it and that’s just one of the problems I’ve had with the app, I could go on for a long time about all the problems with the app, Nintendo and pricing and with how money hungry and private this company is you’d think they’d have a better online service then Xbox, they really don’t, everything works so much better and games are always overpriced with deals that only take off 5-10 dollars, overall I’ve been with Nintendo since the first console and I’m done with how expensive everything is. Paying for online is by far the stupidest thing they’ve made and I’m done.Youker70007Version: 2.10.0
PointlessThis app is an utter disappointment. I used to use it to “purchase” exclusive Splatoon 2 gear and to check records and stats, but other than that it is almost entirely pointless, beyond the fact that these things should have been implemented into the game from the beginning. Most games require this app to use voice chat, but unlike other apps, this is required to stay open or it kills the connection.
The addition of SSB hasn’t provided anything new or exciting - just a bunch of videos that are arbitrarily presented in a very confusing format. Spirits can be grouped but again, this is something that could have been part of the actual game.
What is the point of this app? After 3 (?) years, these are still the only two games utilizing the service and only one is doing a halfway decent job, despite the fact that it’s heading out the door anyway. RIP Spla2n. Nintendo has all but abandoned this app and anyone who believes otherwise has a lot of explaining to do..Needlenose MusicVersion: 1.5.2
Add a messaging/invite system!!!!Nintendo please answer every gamers request and add a messaging system to the switch!!! Doing so will make it so so SO simple to cooperate and join forces with other people!
Not only that, but if you add an invite system (that limits player invites to 3-5 every 5 minute to prevent spamming), then the players can see what their friends are doing, and directly join them from said invite. Judging from experience, whenever I got an invite from my friends on my PS4, I was able to join them right away, but with this system as it is, there is the trouble of spending 30+ minutes trying to figure out how to start a match with my friends on one of my favorite games.
All I’m saying is that if there were any improvements you can make to the system, it would be this very crucial and simple step to developing a better way to game on the switch. Thank you for anyone who read this, and anyone from Nintendo please keep this is mind..Coolio2424Version: 1.5.1
Broken, needs more features and game supportThe reason I’m writing this review is because the app doesn’t even launch on my iPhone XR. I’ve reinstalled the app multiple times, and it was broken before I updated to iOS 14. I normally wouldn’t have an issue with bugs surrounding a major software update, but a month is way too long. Update your app.
Now, on to things I wish were changed in the app if it worked. The support for voice chat is terrible! Voice chat only works for specific games and I’ve noticed that even games that have online multiplayer don’t have voice chat options in the nso app. There’s no option to just call or text your friends like I can on Xbox live (or even the Wii), or even to see if they’re online, so I usually just use discord or messenger to call my friends, thus making this app useless.
I seriously feel ripped off paying $20 for an online service that isn’t much better than what was on my 3ds almost a decade ago for free. I gladly pay $60 for Xbox live gold because it’s objectively a good service.
I wouldn’t be so disappointed if I didn’t know Nintendo could do better. But they have such high quality standards for their games, hardware, and (in the past) system software that I know they’re capable of better. Please, offer a better service, even if that means charging more, and fix your app. 🤙.Struthious cheeseburgerVersion: 1.9.0
Smash voice chatVoice chat works fine for me despite it needs to reconnect every time before and after a match in battle arenas. It is understandable if Nintendo doesn’t really want to deal with messaging, but at least give us an option to invite people to our battle arenas. I have met some friends just by playing online, but it’s so hard to play with them again because I have to search all the arenas and figure out where they are at. What’s the point of a friend list if you can’t even interact with them?!?! I’m not asking for a messaging function but a simple invitation function that every console out there has it. The app also seems like an undergrad’s programming project. It doesn’t even look like a developed app. If I show the app to my programming friends who don’t have a switch, they’d all laugh at it because it’s a total joke. Come on Nintendo, you can do better..Rebecca_psiVersion: 1.4.1

DisappointedI just got my first Nintendo product since the Wii (a switch oled) so when I saw there was an app I was impressed I figured it would be similar to the Xbox or PS apps where you can see downloads, update games from your phone, have text chat, link any game under your account to the app, etc and I launch the switch app to find literally nothing like actually nothing since I’m new I don’t have console friends and I don’t really have a variety of games so to find out Mario isn’t supported in the app is flabbergasting it’s the og game it has such a wide following that it was turned into a movie yet I can’t access it from the app the only feature this has is voice chat (there are literally no other buttons other than settings) which is no use with no one to talk to thank you for calling me lonely Nintendo.M4arshall22Version: 2.9.0
HorribleThis is probably the worst app that I’ve ever tried to use for something useful. A lot of people say it’s bad because it’s not free anymore or something. I say it’s bad because I have tried 8 times and it still won’t log me in! I make sure that my console is on I make sure I have the right information I have tried EVERYTHING! It lets me put in my email and password it shows me my account I pick my account and then it just says the service isn’t compatible with my console or whatever. And I have NO IDEA WHY! I’ve payed it all I’ve done. It . All. At first when I got this I was excited because I could do everything I wanted for my splatoon 2. I kept trying again. And again. AND AGAIN. NOTHING WORKED! I am really upset with this so maybe just try fixing it. Or since you probably don’t care because I haven’t seen a single developer response in these reviews just make a new frekin software!.Gabby Lucky happy GebbebVersion: 1.8.0
Merge this with My Nintendo App and bring to WestMerge this app with the My Nintendo app in Japan, enable a party chat feature for “best friends”, a text chat feature, game invites, themes, playtime metrics, embedded the eshop store here so we can favorite games and purchase for download, add funds, etc.
I don’t mind the solution being an app, just wish the app was robust! Make it easy for informed consumers of Nintendo products to connect with friends online in 2022 and beyond… this is kind of sad to even have to suggest. I’d much rather use this app than discord if it worked more seamlessly with the switch hardware. Perhaps I can click voice chat on my switch and, boom, I get a notification on my phone to start the room, or vice versa.
Oh and… for the love of goodness add themes already…. And about 100 new game icons would be nice..Schultzy2b2Version: 2.0.0
Asinine doesn’t even begin to describe itWhere to start... most asinine implementation of online services that I’ve ever seen. See a buddy online and want to play? Nope can’t send an invite. Left your phone at home by accident? Nope no voice chat for you.... seriously Nintendo has been a money grab, corner cutting, not listening to actual consumers since I can remember and this is their shrine of “SCREW THE CUSTOMER, we are Nintendo we do what we want, they will buy it anyway” type company. Seriously whoever came up with the online functionality of the switch needs to be taken out back of HQ building and Shot, or at the very least fired and humiliated. A five year old could have come up with a better solution. I pray the Microsoft partnership gets you guys modernized and your heads out of your rear! NO ONE wants a gimmick, we want what works, what is tried and true, with a little innovation thrown in... stop being idiots!.TriketraVersion: 1.5.1
Very bad...This app is very bare bones. I know PS4 and Xbox has apps too but they are actually USEFUL and they offer the same functionality on their own systems.
Nintendo is now charging $20 a year (I know it’s not a lot but this service isn’t worth anything. It should be free.) The fact that we have to pay for a service that offers literally nothing except NES games that you can literally find on your computer or other consoles free of charge is sad.
The fact that cloud saves don’t work for Splatoon 2 (the game that is making people by this service) is pretty embarrassing. I know they want to prevent cheating but there are other ways around that. They delayed this service to a year, and there is nothing. It’s embarrassing.
There aren’t any dedicated servers either. The online on the WII U was better (and free). Nintendo is basically making money for doing absolutely nothing. There are no big online games that need this service except Splatoon 2 (and no, Mario kart doesn’t count because the online there is so bare bones, and you’re using your own WiFi, and Arms... people still play arms?) Games like fortnite and paladins (basically anything non-Nintendo) don’t need this service to be played online.
So yes, hopefully Nintendo adds MUCH
more in the future. This glitchy “service” should be free..Danxochi5Version: 1.4.1
Doesn’t workNintendo need to get their online gaming presence sorted out, or stay out of it all together
For some reason they have two types of Nintendo logins/profiles. Why not consolidate that? Beyond that, when you’re trying to recover a password the keyboard disappears in this app.
Above and beyond that, I will never stop buying Nintendo products. They are my childhood up to this point and hold some nostalgia that I will always treasure.
But I am very discouraged at paying any amount of money to play any online games (like smash) just for their to be constant networking issues and repercussions on the users for poor connections. Why would I give them more money for something that they don’t seem to be investing themselves in fixing? Plus I have a grip with paying full cost on switch games that are years old or even ports from the Wii U. Like I said, I’ll always support Nintendo, but I feel like they don’t support us. At this point this review is pouring over into something else entirely. But it’s completely mind blowing that a company as reputable as Nintendo or that a game as competitive as smash has such bad connection issues or general network gaming issues where games developed for online play, over a decade ago, didn’t have or quickly fixed these issues..Lipski111Version: 1.5.1

Simply bastardizedI've always hated using this app despite how great of a concept it is.
I'm going to begin with what this app does right;
The specific game services for games like Splatoon and Animal crossing are fantastically implemented. The idea that you could still do certain tasks such as purchase gear or check your stats without actually needing your console is great. The idea of using your smartphone to type instead of a controller is great. I think innovative features like these should be put in more often.
Now, as for what I don't appericiate about this app, is literally everything else.
This app is seldom updated and so easily forgotten. Its a selling point for your pitiful Windows XP based online service, yet nobody but the odd Splatoon fan will actually care about it.
Theres literally nothing a user can do with this app aside from the already mentioned ***hyper specific*** game services, voice chat, and the ability to add friends without needing your console, which to be fair are all great features, but what makes them bad is how they're forced, and not just implemented by default.
Does anybody even use your app? I've been using Discord long before the switch even came out. At least Xbox and Playstation give you the option of using a phone for voice chat, its not even a requirement. I find myself uninstalling this app as often as I am reinstalling because of that ***1*** specific use case, which for me right now is free gear in Splatoon 3.
This app is essentially a waste of time and by the time Nintendo realizes theres something wrong, we'll already be in the next generation of game consoles; the Nintendo Switch will most likely be long gone and there will be no room for improvement unless proven otherwise, but I highly doubt it.
Thanks for wasting my time..Joseph2314648Version: 2.2.0

Evil company making crappy productsFirst of all, let’s mention how thier online service used to be free and great. Then all of the sudden, they started advertising how “oh hahaha now you have to pay for what you already had haha we win”
Also- they make thier consoles BREAK ON PURPOSE so you are forced to buy new ones. The joycons drifting, oh just buy a new one. Same with the kickstand, it’s so cheap (quality) I could tape it and it would work better.
Their games are priced so high for a game that was already existed on the wii u. And that’s not all, you still have to buy the dlc, as if you are just using a free version of a product.

No audioThere’s no sound when using Zelda Notes, the “voice” memories are silent, as are the “voice” guidance is also notably without sound, which makes both of these features essentially useless.KaratesBadBoyMikeBarnesVersion: 3.2.0

Redeem gift cardThis app is a waste of space. But one easy feature that would be super useful is being able to redeem gift cards. It would be so much easier with the camera than entering it on the console..UnknownUser89Version: 3.1.0

Voice doesn’t workThe main feature and reason to download this app is voice chat. The main feature does not work on any game that supports voice chat, defeating the whole purpose of the app..SawdomiseVersion: 2.12.0
