New version is a UX headache
The old app was pretty great. Easy to see your charging status, easy to get to it. Overall a nice experience. This new version’s design is horrendous. Garish, much less legible, and a very clunky navigation. And there are two major UX issues: 1) the “stop charge” is at the very bottom of the screen…where you swipe…to view your phone. Point being it’s very easy to stop your charging accidentally, and no way to restart remotely. 2) if you close the charging status screen, there’s no way to get back to it…at least no obvious way that I can find. PLEASE fix this UX mess! Old app: 5 stars. New app: 2 stars.

Travelers need to know how much power is available at the stations to plan their trips. Please include the kw rates fir the charging stations.
