The Nintendo Switch Online mobile app is a mixed bag; while the voice chat is a bit rubbish, the Splatoon 2 section - SplatNet - is actually pretty darn cool. It tracks your in-game progress and offers rewards, while also keeping you posted on upcoming stage rotations.
It's had a recent update to add some more helpful information. The headline addition is more information on the Salmon Run co-op mode, giving you the heads up on current events and upcoming shifts and weapons.
On top of this it's now much easier to find the Gear Shop, as it has its own shortcut in the bottom menu.
A nice little update - let us know if you're still using SplatNet 2 on your mobile.

You could already see the schedule previously. I'm assuming they just made it easier to see and find.
This is a much welcome update. It always annoyed me that I had load up the game just to check the upcoming Salmon Run times.
@-Green- It used to show when Salmon Run was currently available but you couldn't check the schedule for future sessions through the app.
@BenAV Oh yes. You're right. I remembered incorrectly.
It was in game where you were able to see the full schedule. I haven't played in a while.
Updates are always nice
The shop getting its own tab at the bottom is a handy update, but rrreeeaaalllyy should have been part of the app when it launched.
I mainly use the app for buying clothing sets with abilities not found in stores, and to needlessly fret over my win/loss ratio for absolutely no logical reason.
I just wish there was more than just Splatoon supported this far in to its release. I see a lot of untapped potential here.
@Desrever The full paid service in 2018 may grant ya your wish. I wouldn't be surprise to see a basic chat function via Switch friends n such (ya know, WITHOUT the need of Splatoon).
You can also change the color of your main stat window on the main page. There's now a little circle in the top right corner of that window that lets you cycle between 6 different color schemes.
Okay but I’d rather have an update that removes the schedule and just opens salmon run 24/7.
They need to add an option to show your Salmon Run records - last 50 matches played, total wins, most number of eggs etc. Just like with the Turf/Ranked match list...
@-Green- omg I just have to say your icon is so cute
@MintFox Don‘t think they‘ll do that with the way bonuses work. Plus, it‘s only ever closed like 12 hours or so from session to session.
I’m playing Splatoon again in my short gap between Mario Odyssey and Doom arriving. So I might check this out.
@masterLEON It's always been there.
Love the app but please sort out the voice chat....its awful.
Or they could just make Salmon Run always available. I still can’t understand for the life of me why they limit that mode.
This is a much welcoming update, one that I send a feedback on in the past. Prior to this I took screenshots and send it to my phone. More work but it got the job done.
@ramensquid It has? The circle color jumps out at me now. Either that or I'm too busy hitting the old shop icon in the corner or scrolling down to see if Salmon Run is up to notice it, LOL.
@thesilverbrick I think this is because of the prize reward system. When you play a local game of Salmon Run at the Shoal, they only give you basic prizes every 400 points. (though I've never played long enough to see if prizes get better as you go on)
@Desrever I really don’t care about the prizes. I wish they could just disable the prizes most of the time and at least allow me to play online whenever I want.
Very good update a lot easier to use. my stats Button is great
I actually kinda like there being a gap between session to session of Salmon Run. I've played in every single one since the game came out and continue to look forward to the next one going live. If it was just always available then I probably would have gotten sick of it by now.
Yay
@masterLEON They changed the button and made it much more noticable! To be honest the only way i found the old one was by tapping it on accident because it was a little refresh sign 😅
