Latest build a huge step back – Shopify Point of Sale (POS) Review

I have been a big fan of Shopify so far but the latest update really has some big issues and even missing functionality compared to previous builds 1. The pictures on the product grid used to be big and beautiful, making it easy for my employees to identify the over 500 products I have in the store VISUALLY. Since (like many many small businesses) I do not use UPC's or barcodes in my shop, large pictures are CRITICALLY important in making sales. I spent a lot of time making sure that each of my products has clear and well lit pictures on an isolated background when I added them to Shopify, but now the pictures are not only cropped at the top and bottom, but the grid containing them has an extra row or column, making everything smaller. 2. I use relatively long and descriptive title is for my items which I can now barely read past the second word since so many items are crammed on the grid. The padding between individual cells is too large and there's A whole ribbon of wasted space on the bottom of the screen simply to hold the words "page 1 of X" 3. In the previous version of the app you could press and hold over a product with a variant and as you scroll through each individual very end it showed you the picture that you had established for each variant. Now, the picture stays exactly the same so it's impossible to visually distinguish what the differences between the variants. Why has this feature been removed? 4. The app over all seems sluggish and unresponsive. I am getting many of the same errors previous reviewer's have already pointed out on this build, and even something as simple as scrolling between pages of products happens with a lot of stuttering and nowhere near as smooth as previous builds. Crammed design on mobile apps and sluggish performance was exactly the reason I switched AWAT from my previous POS provider and it was a shame to see it happening again here with Shopify Shopify, PLEASE fix these issues soon! My business depends on it!
