Look, not everyone has the luxury of infinite time to read through this entire thread nor does every casual user read through every release note.
It’s valid to ask here. It’s a forum. It’s a thread about the new release. Let people ask and voice their pros and cons about this release.
I don’t agree with the purple, and I don’t care if I’m a VIP and can change it back on the website - I can’t on iOS which is my main OS I use Trakt on.
Also, I get, that specific functions are hidden behind the paywall, that’s absolutely fine and fair and it’s the reason I like to support this site. Because I do get functions I like and use a lot and can help out the devs with my contribution.
But the color toggle is artificially created by simply changing the base product to a (for many users) worse version. I think purple on black is like THE worst choice in terms of contrast.
So I think the backlash about that is valid and should be heard and voiced as long as it’s in a civil manner!
The devs being hesitant about switching the most unliked changes back to its original makes me wonder what the reasoning behind that is. Because it can’t be that difficult to change it back…
First of all thx for the latest test version and while it is contrast wise a positive change I still would like to know why we can’t get the red coloring back for the text as well as the icons (‘track’ & bottom menu) in the iOS app that made your brand so recognizable?
It’s all well readable now but it’s also 50 shades of grey in dark mode (sorry for the pun - couldn’t resists haha)
Honest question. I loved the red! I think most of us do… at least give us the option within the app?
As always thx for your hard work and for considering
I’m glad to read I’m not the only one thinking that’s not at all fair to place behind the VIP paywall something very basic like the classic red color, especially when no one was asking for something different. You can’t consider going back to a previous status as a “new feature”.
Since Justin has been very clear that new hideous purple will stay as the default color (even if a vast majority doesn’t seem to like it), I guess we can only hope the color switcher to revert the old red theme will sooner or later become available to everyone, as it happened with dark mode (as far as I’m concerned, one of the most appreciated decisions ever!). Thank you for taking that into consideration.
Is there a reason why the old beautiful, identifiable logo was changed to the lamest most generic thing possible that not only is unrecognizable but also is almost a copy of instagram logo and color scheme ?
Should we be worried about who’s gonna own our data soon ?
Square icon + the border (even if not full) that looks like the external border of the camera in instagram icon + same-ish color gradient. This looks exactly like an instagram family todo app to me.
I don’t care about their UI and name changes and Musk sneaky monetarizing practices by selling verification badges, I don’t use that site. But that’s a shitty monetarizing practice as well since you mentioned it.
They were always links (within trakt) but since the change to all gray the underlining was added to highlight any links.
They will be removed as they add color to the text again… but I have to agree that they better hurry, it looks so ugly
