2y agoDoes anyone actually use this app? For the life of me, I don't have any use for it unlike with the PS app.
I rarely use it, just once in a while when I remember to "check in" in the Animal Crossing portion to get Nook Points.
I didn't like the idea of their app to begin with, but they could have at least found more ways to make it useful. After 5 years it's still only Animal Crossing, Splatoon and Super Smash Bros. that use it for anything other than just voice chat (and in my experience there is nobody using it for voice chat anymore when I left it open while playing Mario Kart 8, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Super Mario Maker 2 a few weeks ago). I wouldn't mind if they let you browse the eShop through the app and/or send notifications when a game in your wish list goes on sale.
