App Store feature requests

1. I would like to have an option to install an app from the home page, without the need to click on the app. Just a small install button next to the rating stars would do fine.

After resetting my Homey and reinstalling apps allot of times, I dont need the information page to tell me what the app does because I already know.

    3. A direct link from the app page to the app topic on the form

    4. a Change log for the apps

    Install button would be great, scrolling and going back and forth is a little cumbersome when (re)installing lots of apps.

    5. Maybe see, which app is already installed? So instead of "Install" button it changes to "Installed" Like the Apple app store
  • ErikVanDongenErikVanDongen Member
    6. When an app update is submitted, the author cannot comment on the app page discussion. Please make it editable.

    Did you know apps auto update every 6 hrs?

    I did not thanks for the info (still handy for testing to speed it up)
    Also a notifier would be nice (new/updated/removed) so I know why app maybe is not working anymore after automatic update

    -- Edit 
    My auto-update is indeed off
  • MarcoFMarcoF Member
    I noticed that if auto-update is off, also apps are not updated (logically).
    The only way to find out if there's a new app versions, is to mannually compare version numbers on #homey:manager:apps and app store page.

    So would be nice if;
    8. There's a new App version release, the #homey:manager:apps shows a exclamation mark beside version number of that app.

    9. Usage of normal clickable links to app pages instead of JavaScript. The 'a' tag exists, use it!

    10. Remember scroll location of the app listing page when using the back button of the browser (could be solved by implementing 9)

    11. Screenshots

    12. Update log

    13. Ability to dismiss installation window and continue installation in background (It's serverside anyway, way do I have to wait?)

    Until 9 and 10 are solved, the app store is usable to install a single app but casually browsing to explore interesting apps is a no-go.

    Forum request; ability to edit posts XD

    Firefox tracking prevention blocked some script. I do miss a way to logout of the forum however.

    14. Change the order of the comments, the latest first. 

    15. Only show comments for the current app version, provide a button to show comments for older versions. 
  • jordenjorden Member
    16. I miss being able to respond to messages, when a new version of an app is submitted for approval.

    17. It would be nice to receive a message if someone leaves a message on your app page.
