On the android app there was an option to use the previous home screen, its much more informative than the new one. I assume over time the new one will be amended to be more useful

I'm on 5.1.0 and find is flashier but less useful than the previous one. Is my car locked or nor, is the main reason I start the app.

That was crystal-clear on the old app. Doors: Locked
Haven't experimented much, but am I expected to look at the new Home-screen graphic and deduce my car is locked if the graphic shows the door mirrors folded in? Or do I need to tap the Padlock and if it says Unlock, assume I am currently locked?

Mosat annoyingly, and I would appreciate hearing if the same for others, on the Manage Account screen (the Person icon, if you can work that out); App Settings, it has an option:
Home screen - Switch back to previous design.

Tried that many, many times, both with 5.1.0 and the one that came before. No effect.

I look at this new app and wonder if some Director has paid his teenage son £100K to produce this rubbish.

On the home screen, if you swipe the large car symbol to the right you it expands range, door status, and climate status

As a fellow recharge owner, have to completely agree. Not being able to see the battery percentage in the new version is a big over sight and poor design in general. Let’s hope they fix it soon.

I’m really liking the update.
@DanishPastry The image of the car will have the flashing light on the dashboard if it’s locked as well as clicking on the car to side-swipe that gives Doors and Climate status.
