What bugs are you seeing?
New bugs:
* When I initially installed, it asked if wanted to set a passcode. I clicked yes, but it didn't prompt me to enter it (just did nothing). I had to repeat this process about five times before I was finally allowed to set it. Bad initial experience.
* Possibly related, when I launch the app now, it often just sits there blank and doesn't ask me to verify my passcode. I usually restart, or just wait for it to finally prompt.
* The station finder shows all stations as out-of-range (red icons) no matter what your SOC. (Plus, the station icons are still aligned to some kind of coarse grid, so they often obscure each other.)
New annoyances:
* Home screen layout is stoopid. Everything is now tiny with lots of empty space. The old layout, with larger elements, was much more pleasant to use.
* Estimated range used to be shown on the battery (matching the displays in the car and the current MFM website). Now, range is shown at the bottom of the screen (which just seems pointlessly inconsistent).
* No clearly-marked way to update the home screen... apparently you just poke at it until "Update in progress" appears at the top of the screen? (Or, it is just updating by itself on its own schedule?)
* EDIT: It's not obvious, but you can swipe down anywhere on the home screen to manually update. I may have just been accidentally swiping when my "poking" made it update before.
* I do like the remote controls on the home screen, but feedback when using them is poor. (Not that the old app was much better, but the new one is worse.)
* In general, there is lots of white fonts on light backgrounds... low contrast, hard to read.
* Scrolling certain lists makes dark and light elements swap shades as they move between the bottom and top of the screen. This is slightly disorienting (unless you realize what is happening) and just seems like very odd UI design.
* The trip & charge log no longer
graphically shows the portion of the battery consumed or charged. Just shows final SOC for each charge and the kW used for each trip, but only as numbers and not also visually as the portion of the battery charged/drained. (The log on the MFM website still graphically shows the portion charged/drained.) Plus, in the app, the charge icon is just a square now? (It used to be a plug.)
Existing annoyances:
* The trip & charge log
still does not show average efficiency for each trip. (Way back when the old app used to show it for me, then it broke.)
* Car locator still uses crummy map that doesn't support touch zoom and scroll. (2005 called, they want their map back.)
The good:
* As I said, I do like the new remote controls placement.
* The app is a bit easier to navigate.
* Trip & charge log now shows more than two entries.
Final note... the shiny 3D battery graphic (obviously taken from the old app) sort of looks out-of-place now within the overall flat, monochromatic design of the new app. The old app had a more consistent look, and seemed more polished visually. The new app kinda looks "amateurish" to me.
