eL_PuSHeR Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think it looks nice but it seems like they stripped a lot of utility from the homepage winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Monochrome icons? The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 There is less functionality that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators hazelnut Posted January 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2014 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.

Corona Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 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. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted January 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2014 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 There is one thing i like. Latest updates are sorted by date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted January 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2014 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) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well, its better, maybe, but I liked the old hippo picture better, it had more character.

papaleguas49 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 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.

MRQ7 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Definitely more functional now - far less scroll on the home screen is a good thing plus no more difficult to find stuff, just means a little extra clicking for some things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have found a small "issue". When clicking on any software that comes with both x86 and x64 versions there is no quick link to download the other opposite one as before. Not a big deal, but annoying nonetheless. For instance, clicking on Itunes x86 version you got a "64 bits version" below with the old layout. Now you have to look for it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eL_PuSHeR Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ok. I got it. How do you reach that link without specifyng x86/x64? When using search or clicking quick updates I get either x86 or x64 versions links (but not version choose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted January 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2014 I just put in filehippo itunes into google I get to the same place if I click on MultiMedia section and go to itunes. The link for iTunes in the left hand panel of Multimedia section (under popular downloads) says it is for 32bit only as that must be the most popular version.
