Not a fan of Roger's new interface

iOS and iPadOS

Hi. I just updated to Roger version 1.2.8, and i'm finding this new interface quite frustrating. Before this new one came out, I was able to navigate the app pretty easily, simply by swiping around. Now I'm finding that I have to do a lot of exploring by touch, and i'm having to hit a lot of extra buttons just to get things done. Also, this idea of constantly encouraging me to enable live mode is a little odd as well. I'm in a lot of groups, and in the current incarnation, if i'm sending someone a message and a new one comes in with live mode enabled, the new message interrupts what i'm doing, sends the message and I end up having to send another one. I've since disabled live mode, but I think the setting should only appear in the settings screen. If a setting is right there on the main screen I may end up activating it when I don't mean to. I'm going to be honest...I preferred the previous interface to this new one. So what do you guys think? Am I alone here with my ideas? I know the Roger team monitors this site so I'm hoping maybe they'll see this and maybe find a way to fix some of this stuff. I'm just finding that the interface is more clumsy. the previous one, for me at least, was a lot more intuitive and it made it easier to get things done. On a positive note, the change playback rate feature is a nice touch. It helps if you have a lot of messages to go through in a group.

I agree. this new UI is just shit. Don't like it at all.

Well, I wouldn't say it's shit, it's just...clumsy and confusing. you have to work harder to get things done. There's a few areas that also confuse me. There's more than one settings button in the app, have you guys seen this? They all lead to the settings screen. What's up with that? Also, there's a talk button near the bottom of some screens and that didn't seem to do anything so i'm not sure what that's about. Like I say the only thing i'm really digging is the change playback rate feature. That helps a lot. My kingdom for the previous interface, but with the change playback rate somewhere in there. I think that would be killer!

RIght?

Right? I think the earlier iterations of the UI were also good. much easier to add people then.

No worries, they...
