Comments about Nintendo Switch App Android Version

Honestly this app is REALLY handy. It's only 4 stars for reasons I'll cover. My first complaint or feedback is that there should really be a way to buy games on the phone. This may be pushing it but you could make ways to get coupons and get a discount. Another thing is that there should be a texting system alongside with being able to send screen shots! I think there should also be a way to cast to your phone and you really should add mario maker to see how many likes you get. Thx for reading!!
App just stopped working--it just goes in a loading circle after I click on ACNH. Very frustrating!!! I really loved it while the app was working tho. Awesome to be able to access catalog--makes playing SO much easier. The NookLink items are fantastic. Wish I could access DIY catalog too. Turnip prices are handy to have. Newsletter is adorable. PLEASE FIX THIS GLITCH!!! Ty!
not that bad, i do wish there was a text chat system you could use with friends in case you add someone in a game without chat options. a bit laggy whenever you open a specific game's app, but i love the features those have. animal crossing having a keyboard in this app is a godsend, and splatoon having a separate shop in this app is a neat touch too, plus how much detail you can see in your history for splatoon.

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the Nintendo Switch App I downloaded is an XAPK file?

Open up

A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation. The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process. XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application. On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. But on PC client, you just need to put the file on LDPlayer.
