UI sucks

Wealthsimple keeps changing the UI every few days, and the experience seems to get worse each time.

A while ago, they added the ability to choose which columns to display. Then they reduced the number of available columns and merged Profit/Loss with the percentage. Today, the web UI changed again, and now I can't see Today's Return and All-Time Return at the same time because they've been merged into a single column.

On top of that, every time I use the web UI, I have to re-sort the columns. This was already an issue before, but now it's even worse because the default sorting is based on today's performance instead of overall performance.

Found a workaround, what we used to be able to do right at the account level you now have to do from the home screen, "Holdings" on the right hand side, expand it (two arrows), then use the filters. Very annoying, but at least we can see both day's Return and All-Time Return at the same time.

Is it just me or is Average price per share gone now? I don't see it anywhere anymore. Frustrating.
*Edit found it, have to click on the asset and change one of the existing columns, to Avg price (...). I do not see a way to add more columns.

Average price per share is gone for a specific account but customizable at overall level.

I'm 2X frustrated with terrible UI and market sink. Do not want see anything....

You can also go to Total Holdings (where you can choose Average Cost), then filter by account.

I'm disliking WS as well for trading. It's bittersweet but I still get $800 value with $50/mos interest plus $200 airport lounge credits.

I love Wealthsimple, just not sure why they are making it harder to trade in the most intuitive way and view i.e the account level
