We are excited to announce that Club Pogo has launched a brand-new homepage. Designed with you in mind, the new page is streamlined for ease of use, and modernized for a fresher look.
While the new design is straightforward and should be easy to navigate, we want to call out some of the highlights:
Most Recently Played Games Bar. Placed at the top, this bar allows you to add these games to your “My Favorites” list by simply clicking the little ‘heart’ icon in the upper left corner. Now you can quickly get to your favorites, and add new favorites to latest discoveries!
Bigger Spotlight and News Section! See top Pogo News stories as soon you as visit, and preview Spotlights using the icon bar, or just wait for them to scroll through on their own.
Member’s “My Stuff” on the Middle Left! Find your Mini, your token and gem counts, and other important account information.
Challenge Information on the Right! Find all your current activated challenges and recent badge information
Navigation Tabs! Choose between “Favorites”, “Categories” and “Games A-Z” We’ve added game icons to the “Favorites” tab so you can see the visual representation of those games you like best!
shera1247 Why did you think this homepage would be better, this stinks, I do not like it and it is very confusing
And POGO paid someone to come up with this crap of a home page?? I got some ocean front property in Idaho I ant to sell them.
This is a terrible way to replace something that works. I play a large variety of games on here. Half of them aren’t on here anymore. I have to go to the bottom of the page and root through everything to find them. Please change back
The new home page was not designed with me in mind. I find nothing about it fresh and modern nor do I find it easy to navigate. All these changes are taking away from my play time and enjoyment.
I HATE IT!! I HATE IT!! PLEASEEEEEEE CHANGE IT BACK
BAD CHOICE, POGO!! MY 5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON COULD HAVE DONE BETTER! WHY FIX WHAT AIN’T BROKE!
I’M POSTING/TYPING TO FAST?? 2 FINGER TYPING? WOW!!!
I Hate it. Please put it back to the way it was. Also stop pushing face book at us. I really don’t appreciate it. I feel like cancelling my membership. I have been a member since 2002
what is wrong with you people at pogo? pogo has been getting more cartoonish and i have not liked any change so far. who is your programmer???? why don’t you ask the people who pay to play??????????? This format is for sales only and marketing. We have to look at that garbage after we pay a ridiculous fee yearly for games that crash or freeze or error out. Now you’re cramming advertising down our throats. If this doesn’t change back, I don’t think I’ll re-up next year.
Why doesn’t Pogo / EA listen to their subscribers. We are the one’s that pay for the site, their payroll and keep everything going. Instead of changing things, they should leave it alone. If pogo keeps changing everything, they are going to be loosing a lot more paying members that keep this site going. If I knew of someone to help me with creating a game site, I would definatly get it created and invite all of the members of Pogo to the site and have it “Free” so that Pogo will finally wake up to reality. These changes extremely suck and they should be changed back. No one cares for them.
really? .. this is my 4th attempt to leave a comment, saying i am typing too quickly…hahaha..don’t you mean i am typing what you do not want to hear? .. if you are truly ready for feedback, brace yourself…starting at the top: games most recently played…really?..i haven’t played hangman hijinks since it was a daily challenge…ditto for scrabble…and have you not listened to the cries of your pogo public?..we have tokens we can do absolutely nothing with except mini mall shop…but now, shop for what?..we can’t even see our mini when we go to our homepage…so, now you appear to be thwarting our efforts to mini mall shop, leaving us further frustrated with our useless tokens…and favorites?.. could you have made accessing our favorites more cumbersome?…now if we want to access our favorites, we would fare far better going to our friends list rather than our homepage…hmmm…isn’t that ironic?…(redesign our homepage so we can no longer use it)…so sad; pogo was such a great idea, but has turned into a frustrating experience, simply because YOU DO NOT REALLY CARE what our feedback is…i’m calling this redesign a COMPLETE FAILURE…and now, i am removing my sunglasses that i was forced to put on to ready this type, and turn on my television!
Sometimes changes r good. do u know the old saying, IF IT AIN’T BROKE DON’T FIX IT. Now u broke a good thing. PLEASE put it back the way it was.
I must join in with ALL the others that do NOT like this new look – what was wrong with the original look that we were all comfortable with and found easy to use? Please don’t make us suffer with this new look especially since we pay good money to be “Club” members and should have a voice in the decision to keep it or go back to what we had! I am not the happiest club member after seeing this change!
Why did u do this to us pogo? This is awfull. Change it back NOW.
Let me rewrite the start of this article correctly…

We are excited to announce that Club Pogo has launched a brand-new homepage. Designed with (us) in mind, the new page is (clusterf***ed to make it as hard to use as possible), and modernized (so we can look more like Facebook when we fully integrate with them).
While the new design is (not) straightforward and should be (hard as hell) to navigate, we want to (show you exactly how we’re sticking it to you):
I don’t like this, please put it back the way it was.
I hate it too. It’s like walking into your house and all the furniture has been rearranged.
way to cluttered and definitely NOT designed with me in mind. I want to see my mini (not just her top half) and whether or not I have new messages/gifts at a glance. if the design is for US then why is our mini representative not prominently displayed like it used to be. I also don’t care for the way the challenges are now displayed. can’t really explain what is off with it but it made my eyes hurt trying to figure out what was what
I read this entire scroll and not ONE person likes it. Pogo wake up!!!!
I don’t like it either too confusing….
Don’t like the new homepage if you want to improve it let the members customize their own homepage to have what they want on it.
I agree change is good….but not in this case. The new home page is very busy, cluttered, and unorganized! There is way too much emphasis being put on downloadable games and games that go to non-pogo websites! No Thanks Pogo. Linking up to Facebook & twitter….another bad idea! Put the page back as it was, minus the downloadable games and games that go to non pogo websites. Please put them in a tab along the top of the page with Home, Friends,Badges etc….just make a tab for downloads and other games, a tab for linking to other sites etc. If I want to go check those site out I can but it is not a mess all over MY Pogo homepage! It would be much more user friendly for us, the paying members. Thank You.
Love yout idea! Please bring our POGO back into the spotlight, the old gal is lost in the snow of advertising for other sites! She is weary and being pulled in too many directions!Please bring POGO back to us!
I agree, I like the old home page better please bring it back, I dislike the new look.
One of the worst makeovers I’ve seen. Difficult to navigate, can’t find a thing, look and feel are terrible. Go back to the other page design. Please!
What the heck did you think you were doing????? The new home page sucks! Please, give us back our old one.
I have been with POGO for a very long time (remember when the only game was Buckaroo Blackjack) and I have never ever felt a need to complain about any of the changes that have happened along the way because after all, change is necessary at times to make the site better, more navagable, etc. However, this change is ridiculous. It seems POGO changed the homepage just for the sake of change becuase it serves no other legitimate purpose. The first thing you see is the rather large adverts with all the “stuff” that makes it MY homepage shoved to the side, almost as an after thought. This would be fine if this was the free side, but I pay for my subscription. Truly a hot mess on this one….
WOW…yeah, just got a look at the new design and it is AWFUL. Now it is way harder to access anything, ie…if i want a quick overview of all the games available it is way more cumbersome to find that in the old design. When will you leave more than well enough alone? It seems all the time you are redesigning everything, and it just keeps getting harder and harder to navigate.
Exactly who did you listen to when you designed this new homepage. It sure wasn’t me or all the other people commenting on it, otherwise it never would have changed in the first place. It’s messy, the white is ugly and plain, the favorites and all games should not be in separate tabs, and what was the point in the challenges changing sides of the page. The page worked the way it was before please change it back.
do not like new home page.
I hate the new home page. Go back to previous home page or I won’t be renewing my subscription.
POGO? I AGREE WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2 OR 3 THAT SAY THEY LIKE IT… WHY I AM NOT SURE!!!IT IS A 150% FAILURE. EVERYTHING CRAMMED IN ONE PAGE AND MINI? HMMM…CAN HARDLY SEE IT!!! WANT MY FEEDBACK?? OK HERE IT IS…READY?…IT SUXXXXXX!!!! BRING BACK OLD ONE AND LEAVE IT ALONE!!! THANK YOU
i dont like it.
it more confusing. and i prefer the old page.
i dont know why they change it. why change something almost perfect for something like taht
I don’t like the new homepage and I don’t think I will be renewing my subscription
A lot of changes have been made and all that has done is made things worse
So Good bye Pogo
Don’t like it
With so many games that need improvement/updating why waste the time and effort on this? Everyone confused now but we will get used to it. But again – why try to fix something that wasn’t broken?
The new homepage stinks and now will seriously think if I even want to renew as Pogo is going downhill lately!!!
I wish You would have left it alone.
You have my vote to put the old one back.
the new home page is NOT easier to use. it is cluttered, it has all the current game badges i’m working on shoved to the bottom of the page and I have to scroll really far down to find them. the area where my favorite games are is HUGE. TOO HUGE, and it takes up way more space than makes sense. I would like to be able to customize my own page rather than have to use this jumbled mess. please give us the choice to switch back. at least i could see everything in one reasonable area. now everything is all over the place and why are my badge challenges shoved underneath everything else? please fix it! I just renewed my membership. I pay for this service, why can’t I have a say in the layout of my home page? please put it back until you figure out something that is ACTUALLY easier to use. Is this really the format you use for the free users? I read that in the comments. AT LEAST treat your paying customers better. give them the home page back that we love. seriously. or at least let us have the option to choose our homepage layout.
Do you really think Pogo gives a darn about what we, the customers want. No, no, no, they will do as they please and just take our money.
This new page is terrible, I don’t like it either.
C’mon Pogo, listen to your customers.
This is even worse than the introduction of embedded games. In that case, you did make adjustments and I hope that can be done here. What is the point of putting things of minor interest at the top and hiding what matters?
I wasn’t going to renew (sorry I did), and now I’m stuck another year till Nov. and will not rejoin. I wanted to give Pogo one more shot, and was hoping they’d pay more attention to the flash games they introduced, and was hoping for them to jump on the train to introduce new games like they had in the past, but I see they aren’t listening to the people or even care as they once did (almost impossible to reach any help). So, as far as I am concerned, the once “we’ll see” shot was wasted on this monstrosity. You are making sure most of us leave in droves.
Seems I am in the minority here…for the most part I do like the new home page.
Not really interested in the top bar of most recently played and since I have a lot of games in my favorites list the expanded listing for each game makes my area for that rather long.
I do like the organization of the the badges on the right sidebar. It seems easier to distinguish between the different sections. I also like the tabbed game list since I can now tab to the A-Z listing instead of scrolling down to find a game that I needed to play that wasn’t on my favorites.
Overall, what I like about the changes outweighs the items I could do without.
REALLY REALLY HATE IT.Making me rethink my memebership. I used to play everyday, get as many badges as I can,with all of the changes and problems on the site lately, makes me not want to play anymore. I don’t appreciate clicking on a game to try only to be directed to the world winner site. Pogo please change it back.
I like this new homepage. I don’t see anything confusing about it. I like change and this is a good change to me.
I so do not like the new home page.. It looks cluttered and unorganized.. It reminds me of a cheap advertising page in a tabloid magazine.. Our former homepage had more class.. I like to see my mini and quick lines where they use to be.. Dislike having to scroll down to see my stuff.. Displaying my favourite games makes it even more cluttered looking.. Why doesn’t pogo spend time improving games instead of changing a good homepage to something worse? I have had this new homepage for a week now and no, I will never like it.. Please change it back..
I have just deleted my credit card info. You will not be able to renew my subscription. If this mess isn’t fixed by one week from today, I am canceling. I can use the refund for Christmas shopping! EA, you’ve already screwed Pogo up enough. This is the LAST STRAW!
I cannot say it loud enough or often enough. I HATE THIS FORMAT. You have taken a good thing and turned it into something AWFUL. Microsoft messed up with the new WINDOWS 8. Looks like you guys hired someone from there. PLEASE RETURN THIS TO THE WAY IT WAS. We all have friends on POGO that will get disgusted with this mess and cancel their membership. If you leave it this way, I WILL BE AMOUNG THOSE WHO DO NOT RENEW.

Hate new Home Page bring back the old home page and leave things alone you people are worst then cablevision that are always changing channel line ups.There was nothing wrong with the original home page we were use to it and very comfortable with it. If you don’t bring back the old home page I will start looking somewhere else to play games and not sign up anymore after all it is are money paying for this and it should be are choice what we want! Iam not happy at all
I also HATE the new homepage! It is HORRIBLE! Chaotic, unorganized looking, the page appears very scattered…..I find it extremely difficult to navigate and it is HARD ON THE EYES! WHO thought this was a good idea? They should be fired! PLEASE change it back!…..and to think I JUST renewed my membership :-(
Not impressed with the new layout
Agree with you all. I watched the video, my page looks nothing like what the described. My current badges etc are all the way down on the left and I have large blank spaces. What the heck??
The new format is awful! Who thought of this mess? Makes more sense to me to not renew my membership and play at some of the other on line gaming sites. Ridiculous….
I love the home page! I can see my entire mini to the left with no problems, I like only seeing the games I play, and badges to the right don’t bother me at all. If you do decide to go back to the old format let it be a choice for some people. This home page works for me.
