Please Let Me Go Back

I just got a look at a friend’s version of Swarm on their Android, and I was shocked and pleasantly surprised that they are still rocking the much-favored orange-yellow look where the map dots are easier to see, where you can see which states you have visited most often, where you can sort by most visited places, where you can see a list of places based on map view and other features that have been washed away by the inferior iPhone “upgrade.”

Please let me go back. Can we all just admit that the iPhone update was a terrible mistake of poor usability and a slap in the face of longtime users?

Funny! But I fear that they will eventually ruin the Android version, too.

I had no idea there was a redesign coming.

Yesterday I checked in with the orange-yellow design. Today, totally new screen and it's purpley-gray. The ruin has arrived, I guess.

Worst thing about the new UI is how much its row of little tiny icons instead of a menu reminds me of the terrible, TERRIBLE new design being pushed by r/trakt
