Not so smooth Google Play Store

[Tivadar Kiss]

Hey guys! I got my hands on an M8 a couple of days ago. So far I'm impressed by the quality and performance of this phone. There's only one thing bothering me. Am I the only one who finds the Play Store really slow? It's not that the pictures and apps don't load quickly but the smoothness. Other apps like Internet work perfectly but Play Store is different. Scrolling is not smooth at all.

Welcome to Android Central! From what I recall on my wife's M8, Play Store works just fine in terms of scrolling, but I could check again later tonight.

Try going to Settings>App Manager>All, select Play Store, and Force Stop, then Clear Cache. Now open it again. If that doesn't help, go back and Clear Data as well (you may have to recheck all of your settings again, because this will probably reset your Play Store settings to default).

Unfortunately neither of them helped. I also deleted all the updates for Play Store, so it's 4.9.13 now. This didn't help either. By the way this only happens in the 'Home' section of the app. If I go to the Games section and check the Top Grossing or Top Games section, scrolling works like a charm.

Its probably just the app itself. The play store really has always been one of the lesser quality apps in terms of scrolling and smoothness, from my experience on multiple devices.

OK, I see what you're referring to, on both my Nexus 5 and my wife's M8. It's choppy as you scroll down for the first time, but once everything is loaded, the scrolling is smooth for me. Maybe they'll fix it in an upcoming update.
