[QUOTE="Spork98765, post: 244903, member: 5544"] 2.02.4: Still doesn't close Table icons were made [URL="http://i.imgur.com/AiAuwo4.jpg"]even larger[/URL], WTF? There has to be a scaling option so that users can decide the size of the tiles. Otherwise the "designed for phone" option that has been implemented will simply alienate the tablet user base. This scrolling forever UI game that has been developed is frankly crap. No more rating tables, now they are simply "favourites". Which is even more useless, as there is now no way to sort favourites as they simple appear A-Z for the ones favourited. Why is there now a difference between the Steam UI and the Android UI? Sure, ratings is gone on both, but Android got Favourites and Steam got My Tables. Wasn't the point of the new UI to have a standardized UI across all platforms? Still cannot change the filters to ascending/descending. Why not? Where are the fine grained sound controls? I do not want menu music, but I would like to not have to enable sound every game, and then disable it at the end of every game. This is becoming a very poor game of "UI Navigator 2.0: The Never-Ending Scroll". There aren't even any achievements for navigating through the submenus to find the options to do the things that should be simpler. Why are the game start UI menu [URL="https://i.imgur.com/mbcsSUv.jpg"]header/footer[/URL] shifted down? Tables that do not have Pro Modes [URL="https://i.imgur.com/JLFQPlJ.png"]have a Pro Mode option[/URL], and [URL="http://i.imgur.com/U2Jcz3K.png"]there is an artifact in the menu of these tables[/URL]. Why is there the ball select footer, if we could potentially select a ball skin from, say, the cart menu area/system; seeing as the ball skins are never going to disappear as a selection choice? This redundancy and weird overlay thing seems a bit, well, over-engineered, not thought out, and some other un-polite terms that have likely been said. Why the redundant "Arcade" button on the home screen that does the exact same thing as the button in the top left corner? Same comcern about over-engineering, and not thinking things through. Is Android supposed to have 4 Tables of the Month? This has yet to be answered since the new UI went "Live". Is the sound supposed to cut in and out if you hang out on the home screen, or select menu? Why is the "TxSector downloaded" still hardcoded as the message when you press Download Owned in Manage Tables? The tiles on the cart/store page still change size when you leave and then come back to the store. Go to the cart, press season 6, press the options gear, press the cart, you'll be on season 5, but the tiles will be smaller than they were, press any season and watch the tiles get bigger.
