DON’T UPDATE to VERSION 3.0, it is TERRIBLE!!! – TapGlance Interior Design Review

Don’t get me wrong, this is a GREAT app, but the recent update (version 3.0) is TERRIBLE! If you haven’t updated, DON’T!!! THEY TOOK AWAY ALL THE VISUAL IMAGES IN THE LIST! Now it is just a list of tiny words, with NO visual cues. For example, now there is a “list of colors” (in a tiny font) whereas before they showed a sample image of “the color” next to the word in the list and so visually it was easy to find & pick what you needed. In all honesty, there are NO GOOD CHANGES IN THE UPDATE. The buttons are smaller, and they are NOT in intuitive places, so it just takes longer to do what you want to do. And even though it is an “update,” they haven’t added any new items that I could see. They basically took away the image samples in list view, so we have to read all these tiny words, whereas before we could find things easily with the sample images next to each word in the list. Thankfully I had already backed up all my projects in the older version, by sending it to my email & I was able to delete the new 3.0 updated app & reinstall the older 2.0 version, by connecting my ipad to my computer & then after it was reinstalled on my ipad, I was able to import my plans from my previous email back ups. >>>Keep in mind that if you have not ALREADY backed up your plans from the older 2.0 version, YOU CAN’T back it up in the new 3.0 version & then go back to the 2.0 version. Basically, 3.0 back ups won’t import into the 2.0 version, so you’ll be stuck & have to just use the 3.0 version. ***Thankfully I DID back up my plans in the 2.0 version, so I was able to DELETE the 3.0 version & then connect my ipad with my desktop & reinstall the 2.0 version that I had previously saved on it. So, I’m back to the older 2.0 version & let me tell you, I’m SO HAPPY to be back to the 2.0 VISUAL VERSION! It is so much more intuitive & YOU JUST CAN’T BEAT THE VISUAL IMAGES IN THE LIST! So UPDATES DON’T ALWAYS MEAN BETTER. Often it just means DIFFERENT, and in this case it means you’ll be sorry. So for all those who are STUCK in 3.0, let’s hope they will make the next update soon with the IMAGES NEXT TO THE WORDS, and make those buttons a LITTLE BIGGER & in BETTER locations, to make it more intuitive. Or better yet, let’s hope they post the 2.0 version somewhere so you can get it & get back to the good stuff! Hang in there! And to the creator of this app, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING SUCH A GREAT APP, BUT PLEASE, PUT BACK THOSE VISUAL CUES! (Kind Regards)
