Please Don't Fix Something if it's Not Broken – hide.me VPN Review

Maybe there were some good fixes "under the hood", but the new, lackluster interface is not at all easy to visually work with as the previous one. For example, the flag icon representing the current connection is now gone, and is replaced by the city name in the country where the server is located. Unless you know the names of small German villages, how is the user supposed to quickly and easily know that "Herten" means you're connected in Germany? No flag and no country name means now IT IS BROKEN because in many cases users will have to click all kinds of things to get the relevant info rather than just by looking at the screen. Thank you so much for that step backwards. The connection animation in the previous version was also a quick and easy way to confirm the connection. That simple, elegant and easy functionality is also gone, replaced by a static screen that requires a few moments to look around for written information confirming the connection. The smart thing to have done would have been to keep the previous interface and "enhance" it with all of text info that has replaced it. By the way, what are all the "new" features mentioned in your less than informative update text. How about some details?
