Hi all.
I usually open www.filehippo.com once a day to check for software updates.
Today I see its layout has been changed. What's your opinion about it?.
I think it's uglier than before and less useful.

I think it looks nice but it seems like they stripped a lot of utility from the homepage
Monochrome icons?
There is less functionality that's for sure.
Not as many ''download this'' traps for the unwary now?
Who was responsible for those "download this" traps?
How to progress backwards is all I can say really, and I'll be less inclined to visit.
Who was responsible for those "download this" traps?
There were people who downloaded other things from the advertising on the pages of the 'old' web page in error.
Perhaps Piriform decided to adopt a simpler look to the web page to avoid this.
Don't know for sure, just guessing.
I'll still get my stuff from there. I just think it's weird that they'd make such a drastic redesign. (Yes, I know it looks more Windows 8. Probably easier to navigate on a phone.)
I like the way it looks overall, but the front page lost a ton of functionality. I'm a big fan of the windows 8 aesthetic if it's done well though.
I think it kinda sucks. But I can manage through it.
I don't like the look of it but not that it's going to be an issue since I haven't downloaded much off of there in the past two years. I always prefer to download updates of software from the official website(s).
There is one thing i like. Latest updates are sorted by date.
I'll join the minority and say I like it.
clean, good search function, still has a list of previous versions - which for me was one of the things that stood it out from the others.
(as long as it doesn't start wrapping things around your download)
Well, its better, maybe, but I liked the old hippo picture better, it had more character.
The old hippo was cuter.
The old hippo is still on the UpdateChecker program's icon
The old hippo was cuter.
Sometimes a facelift just goes wrong.
They say a change is as good as a holiday............looks alright to me and it's still useable
I didn t use the site for a couple years now, so i really don t remenber exactly how it looked before, but i went to look now, and i think that is clean, well organized and easily useable.
