Apex Fusion 3.0 Android

[Rabidsquirrel]

I don't see any other threads on this topic, but I can't be the only one upset with the update, it looks like garbage. Is there a way to make it look like the old version? I've hit that age where I don't like changes, especially when they weren't asked for.

If you want to extol the virtues of the new app, please don't. This is not the thread for you.

I just want my orange tiles back, in the order that I had them, with my switches where they were, for years. None of this gloomy black crap.

Thanks for your help.

I feel the same! You can get the old version by logging into the web page instead of the app. At least for now!!!

They are in the "gear" icon.

I 100% agree. It looks absolutely terrible. It also functions very poorly. It is all buried behind a bunch of selections. I don't understand why they decided to make things harder to do. The only positive I found is there are now widgets you can put on your phone screen.

The best part? They sent me a beta signup. I signed up immediately and got back a "thanks but no thanks" lol. I likely have more experience than 90% of the people who were in the beta and I could have easily pointed out all of the issues this has. They likely wouldn't have cared anyways.

Yeah that I saw. I want the shortcuts back. You don’t spend years navigating with those then take them away in one sweep without giving the ability to toggle back on. Would have been the first thing I would have called out in testing.

Even better now, I attempted to update it now since it was prompting me, and it seems like it's bricked. Lost all connectivity, and the reset button doesn't work any more....

I despise changes, especially as I navigate mainly by memory. Also there is zero contrast which is a bummer.

Major props to them though (for me anyway, sorry guys) for FINALLY making the app work with screen readers for the blind! I haven’t tried everything but what I did try navigating is now possible. Whereas it wasn’t before.

I’m with everyone though on springing this on peeps with no warning at all whatsoever.

They have our email addresses, they can push notifications through the app….. but nothing, just a big surprise!

As with everything, I’m sure we all just have to get used to the changes but the implementation could/should have been handled better for sure!

Visually I will say I love the color change. Love dark backgrounds in general lol. I code all day for work and all my apps are set to dark backgrounds. My biggest hate though is the missing shortcuts at the top, but obviously went on that rant already lol. But even worse than that is that they took away the shortcuts from inside all the visuals. Like before if your were in outlets. You could quickly jump to related items like profile. From profile you could then hop back in outlet etc…. Now you need to go back the the main menu for everything. Sucks.

Found something new just now to complain about. Switching an outlet on or a switch switching to closed does not change color anymore. Very easy to overlook if something is switched or toggled on.

As with you, I have to have dark themes….. I’m very sensitive to light. At least with the old dark theme, orange stood out (to me) for like when an outlet was “on” while in auto. Now I can’t tell “visually” as the “on” is invisible (to me). Actually, it all invisible to me. At least I had orange landmarks to kinda help me know where I was. No longer the case.

Totally agree on the menu? Or lack thereof. I had it all memorized… now there’s an edit button. What am I editing? Ha

Yeah that’s what I was meaning by no contrast. I wasn’t very clear on that though. The bright orange was noticeable
