Easy. For people with limited data. You can add that app/movie/etc to your wishlist and wait until you are on wifi to actually download.

I had it for a few glorious minutes, and then my Play Store upgraded to 3.10.9 and the wishlist button disappeared. Now there’s onlt a share button. Lame.

It would be nice if it were online – especially for music and if you might prefer to purchase through a different market (iTunes, Amazon, etc.). I imagine a lot of people will use this in tandem with the Sound Search widget so they can identify and then remember a song they here while they’re out. Then buy later.

I have put some apps into my “wish list” with the little bookmark icon and now I can’t find my wishlist at all! I wish I could remember what I bookmarked! Anyone help?

I know right. I now have about $30 worth of apps sitting in my wish list. There’s 3 of them… (Sumioni, Chaos Rings, Wild Blood)

weak, the apps I like are $5 and over, If I bought every impulse buy from the market all at once would be a hefty charge. In 3 1/2 years I’ve bought 50 apps and not to mention about the music which is more than .99 a song. A lot of people have budgets and shop smart, debt can be a bitch

I thought the icon was to bookmark an app at first.

I personally don’t get the purpose but its just a simple little feature so you can find a use for itmore power to ya. Unless as suggested by someone you could be alerted when . Somethinggoes on sale or you could share your list with others…say sSanta claus

My new list, you can remove items you have downloaded in the past. A new feature maybe?

I love the idea of a wishlist, but now there is still one obvious thing that goes hand in hand with a wishlist: a checkout cart. Wouldn’t it be nice to collect multiple apps (free, paid, or just paid) in your cart to purchase/download all at once? In its current form, the Google Play Store, you have to purchase one app at a time, which results in multiple transactions on your bill, and is also more tedious than it has to be if you have a lot of paid apps you want to purchase right then.

Imagine being able add 10 apps from your wishlist that you have been holding onto to your checkout cart and buy all 10 of them with one transaction and one receipt with the whole purchase. To me, that would be more superior than buying one app at a time from those 10 and ending up with 10 separate transactions with 10 emails from the Google Play Store. I don’t think anyone wants to see 10 consecutive $0.99 app purchases on their bill statement.

I wouldn’t say it’s weak, wish lists are a standard with online shopping, doing the same with digital content is just a logical move.
