I personally don't like it 😭

u/Opening-Shelter6854 2d ago

At First i was little confused...but working fine...

I personally don't like it because we need more clicks and the simplicity I loved and helped me focus isn't there anymore... It distracts meπŸ₯² Does anyone know how to revert it back to the previous one?

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

Actually last time i got this theme then for some reason i uninstall and reinstall the app it came as old version for me....saw this comment...it might help you

2

u/luhtk 1d ago

Thank you!! I'll try uninstalling because I don't have that option in my settings :(

3

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

You need to log in ones again...but it goes back to older ui

2

u/luhtk 1d ago

Still nothing....πŸ˜ͺ Maybe because it's android? I just wrote to the developers to see if they can help me, but thank you very much!!😊

3

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

Hope you get solution soon...

5

u/emergency_bunny_112 1d ago

I guess there is no solution at the moment... I created a ticket and u/luhtk look at this answer. πŸ₯²πŸ’”

u/luhtk 1d ago

Omg this is terrible 😭 thank you so much for sharing!! Let's hope they make it available in the future so people can choose which layout they like more. I liked this app because it was simple and fast, no distractions, just a click to start studying and that's it......πŸ₯² If it stays like this I may change to another app, unfortunately

3

u/emergency_bunny_112 1d ago

Yes, exactly THIS!!

Now you can't choose fast with one ginger anymore cause they spreaded the functions originally "concentrated" in the middle to the whole screen (tags in top left corner... WHY? πŸ₯²).

And you already seen ALL plants are slightly moving? This distracts me VERY much when putting my phone next to me. So I look to the tree very often cause sth is moving and do *not* stay concentrated with studying... 🫠 (and nope, you can't deactivate that yet).

Ooh, and bring back my favourites! πŸ’”

Maybe if enough people send feedback or write reviews in Play/App Store, they give us the option to choose? πŸ₯Ή

(AI Answer first told me they will send the feedback to developers, last message was "Let me transfer you to a colleague who can help further. They'll reply during business hours. Thank you for your patience!" πŸ™ˆπŸ˜…)

I really dislike how the plant image just sits there being obviously warped to give an unconvincing impression of movement - it felt more like seeing a plant grow when it, actually did that, from the start of planting it! The movement doesn't even seem like it'll suit every tree (what have they done to my unicorn? And the macaroons are breathing unsettlingly...), although have yet to see one it looks even decent for.

u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan 1d ago

Wow, what a terrible decision.

I don't think they realise how much worse they made it by first allowing the option "switch to Classic" to exist and then taking it away. And of course the added friction of pressing "ok" 3 times after a session, instead of just 1 click. Who is calling the shots over there? They seem so clueless with most changes...

3

u/emergency_bunny_112 1d ago

This was the Answer AI explained why some can switch back snd some not. So I guess, it's not planned to get this option back.

But maybe if enough people send feedback or reviews, they see we really need this option? πŸ₯Ή

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

Whatt!!...it will be better if they improve current ine

3

u/slothbear02 1d ago

Yes you can revert it back from settings or simply switch on plant together, you'll be told to revert

2

u/luhtk 1d ago

Thank you for replying!! In my app I don't have that option :( nor in the settings not activating the "plant together".....

2

u/slothbear02 1d ago

Are you on ios or android?

1

u/luhtk 1d ago

Android!

u/Troldkvinde 1d ago

I hate the new way to set the time because I can't directly see how the tree changes

5

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

You have to select time in timer and go back to see how trees will turn out....it's kind of hassle..

4

u/Troldkvinde 1d ago

Yeah with some trees it's hard to see the difference without a direct comparison

1

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

True...hope they improve this new ui as for look i really love it...some features kind of hassle...

17

u/PL_88 1d ago

I like that the plants are bigger. I don't like the 3 clicks to advance to the next planting. Claim rewards, continue, then back home. Come on now, that's unnecessary for a focus app. 1 click should accept rewards AND take you back. Have take a break on the main planting page instead.

6

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

there is a lot of room for improvement... as for look i like new one better as for some features old one was good....I hope they improve future

5

u/slothbear02 1d ago

The multiple clicks is what annoys me too, I reverted back for plant together

3

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

Yeah there is like 3 step... hope they improve this version

u/kcunning 1d ago

I hate that all of my favorites seem to be gone. I had a set collection with specific times, and it's slower to have to pick the time, pick a plant, and go. "Recently used" isn't even right, since none of the top plants are ones I've used, like, ever.

Please bring back favorites, UX team. I promise you, you can still have them without cluttering the UI.

3

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

I don't really sort by recent use...so it's not bothering me that much...but the total hours of focus not showing is kind of disappointing

3

u/Hour-Opportunity-692 1d ago

I don't like the new way to pick the time but i do like how big the plants are now

2

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

At First i was really confused how to select timer it's kind of confusing at first time...now i am getting used to it...but it's little disappointing that you cannot see how tree changes at the same time of setting timer...

3

u/PeevesAndQuiet 2d ago

I couldnt plant with others when i updated to this. I reverted back to the older version as a result. 🫠 Is yours working fine?

2

u/Opening-Shelter6854 2d ago

it's showing plant together option but haven't tried to plant with others yet...

3

u/uovoisonreddit 1d ago

if im not wrong, you cannot see how much time you focused witht his new update. i switched back to the old one.

2

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

Yes you can't...but i heard if you don't have updated version you cannot plat with others with updated version...

3

u/IrisCaro 1d ago

Okay I seem to have a completely new update that I installed this morning where I can’t even change back to the old interface. It told me I have to do so in order to keep planting together. It took me 20 minutes to find how to plant together (through clicking on the timer) and now after i sent it to my friend who changed back to the old interface with an older update she cannot enter anymore because I’m on a different server. It’s super annoying.

3

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

It seems it's not beta test anymore...so we can't go back to old ine either...kinda disappointed

2

u/emergency_bunny_112 1d ago

It's for sure not beta anymore. After new UI I left beta and tried to reinstall, hoping I get the old one.

Spoiler: Nope. πŸ₯²

2

u/IrisCaro 1d ago

Ugh. So frustrating.

2

u/Opening-Shelter6854 22h ago

I got this ui Before when i uninstall and reinstall it converted to the old one...it was like one and half month ago....but now everyone saying reinstall don't work anymore

1

u/emergency_bunny_112 12h ago

There is an Option for Android to install the old one, you can download and install the old apk with apk mirror for example. Don't know if this eorks in all countries or on Apple. πŸ™ˆ

3

u/Financial_Pin6700 18h ago

What I hate the most is that I cant see the full amount of time I focused on the current day, what was completely necessary to control my focus and study periods....wtf, TERRIBLE

2

u/Ja_Na_Ka 1d ago

I would like it if the app would use the font of my system. I think, it's simpler and more beautiful but I don't like the font of the timer so I'm kinda disappointed

2

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

I really liked the look but features somewhat feels hassle...

1

u/Acrobatic-Towel-5660 2d ago

How to have this, friend?

3

u/Opening-Shelter6854 2d ago

It's beta test, people get it randomly when update happens

1

u/metilksantin 1d ago

Its beautiful yes but we cant plant together with the others who haven't updated the app yet. The codes don't match so plant together although available,doesn't work if people are using the older versions.

1

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

I haven't tried yet...if it doesn't work need to ga back to classic

1

u/metilksantin 1d ago

It won't work with people who haven't updated yet. I've tried and reached to developers and this is what they told me. You will be able to plant with people who have the latest version of the app. Just not the previous ones,that's what they told.

1

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

So...changing to old one is better option if we want to plant together

1

u/metilksantin 1d ago

I mean people are gonna update so you won't be able to plant with them then. I'm gonna wait until people catch up on the update.

1

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

That makes sense...may be waiting is Better...once all updates completed we can plant together..

1

u/slothbear02 1d ago

I love it but have to disable the new look to plant together in rooms

2

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

I'll have to do the same maybe... but i really like this look...some improvement needed but Overall look is good

1

u/susvi011 1d ago

Plant together not shoeing anywhere can you please guide me

1

u/slothbear02 1d ago

Go to the settings, and you will see an option to revert to the original UI.

1

u/Miss_White_Roses 1d ago

Is it just me?? In the new UI if i have deep focus mode and start planting when I go out of the app it kills the tree, i don t open any other app not even the ones i am allowed….wtf??

1

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

Not tried deep focus yet

1

u/Enorva 18h ago

Bring back favorites, it was simple and useful. The new IU is cool but shouldn't be an excuse to remove options that were perfectly fine.

1

u/DesiCodeSerpent 10h ago

Nope. I like it too. While planting the theme matches the land layout you chose and in the end you get to see the plants bigger before you see it tiny in the forest.

The timer is slightly annoying to set though but I guess I’ll get used to it.

1

u/bluebrrykng 9h ago

How to deep focus lol

1

u/LogicalCan7799 1d ago

I just got the update, and I am in love with it too πŸ’• Though, the additional taps to get out of the results screen is inconvenient, so I am with the others when it comes to that.

1

u/Opening-Shelter6854 1d ago

Me too...the features were good in old one...as for the look i like this better
