Nah. I ain’t feeling this new look. Can you give an option to revert?

Oh wow thanks!
And by pay enough attention, do you mean to read all 341 messages here? I have better things to do. I just came to voice my concern and I’m very happy that apparently I was not the only one and they listened to all the feedback and fixed the issue.
No need to read anything here as it is listed in the release notes 
not really. The same can apply for every VIP extra that you have. And the making the site worse is totally subjective.
If you read the whole thread or read the updated release notes, you would already know this answer:
or
Or simply read the release notes:
But yeah, keep up man, so you don’t make outdated requests.
I kinda dislilke the fact, that a better “usable” and readable color scheme for me would be avaible now only if i pay ALOT for VIP.
I would only need a better readable design like before, without getting more headaches (which i already have alot).
I even looked at it but there is nothing else i would need out of VIP and to just be “readable without getting problems” its money i sadly dont have at the moment.
I dont know what i will do know, i like this page, but currently its really hard for me to use alot because of the color changes.
Maybe i need to look to find something else.

So where is this toggle for iOS again? … right
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…

Take a look, friend: Old Trakt Brand

@justin & Trakt Team
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 believe all platforms have the option to change back to the original (red) theme. I think @justin said it might just be taking a while to be approved in the App Store (Apple). I think for Android users, it’s already there. Be a little more patient and see if it comes through here in a few days.
I don’t think the android app can switch yet either - I only see light and dark mode unless it’s hidden somewhere else

So the latest test version changed it to grey no problem but red needs to be approved by the App Store?! I don’t think so…
Also I can’t find where Justin explicitly said that the old color theme is coming back to apps.
So thanks but I’ll keep asking in here in hopes to get answers.
Not Justin but app developer so maybe even better haha.

Okay, cool
Bwaaahahahaaaa!!! Go ahead…
First you feed me false information and now you laugh at me? Seriously? Keep that shit on Twitter and treat people with respect in here … Jesus
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 ?

I agree with the logo should have never changes, but I don’t agree that it’s almost a copy of Instagram (other than the ugly gradient). Instagram is easily identifiable as a camera/lens.
This new logo for Trakt is horrible identity wise. There original red logo was their identity. This new logo looks more like a “To-Do” list kind of app. Which it is far from being.
