WOWOWO, it's even worse than I could have imagined...

After a slight gap in work I wound up booking a Yellow Mollusk as part of a loop yesterday. My previous MO when using the Otter version of the app was to open my next stop and get the directions from within the report so that it stays open for check-in when I arrive.

OMB(uddha)!!!

What a mostly useless Dark Mode mess they have made!

While there is still some value to accessing previously scheduled reports in the app (until it hangs up) vs accessing via browser, I can't see being able to use the app for anything else.

Just for grins I thought I'd search for available stuff along the 30-mile route home, but the map was totally unstable, and if the available shops didn't disappear within a nanosecond, I couldn't find a list view for scanning for work I might consider.

Am I missing something?

no, the new app sucks. We gave up on it right away.
It's slightly faster for uploading pictures compared to using a phone browser, but it locked up pretty quickly. I will try to purge it from my memory.

Same. I couldn't find the list view when using the app. I've reverted to using the website.
You can access a list by swiping up when on the map view.

Unfortunately that swipe doesn’t work for all devices and operating systems.

The new app is worse than the old one.
If we inform the schedulers, maybe they can inspire a fix, or migrate their jobs to a better platform.

Pretty sure neither of those are the purview of schedulers, many of whom I surmise are independent contractors.

The Blob must've spent a bunch of $$$ for the app overhaul, apparently for no reason whatsoever.

The blob doesn't own Presto. The new app is really BAD. And contacting Presto about bugs and problems never seems to help, they just blame the problems on other folks and don't change a forking thing.

My son and I deleted the app the second time it made getting the jobs done impossible and went to the website directly, on our mobile devices, and it works just fine. The issues I've always had with my tablet not being able to check in with the location, even though the location is turn on. So I just check in on my phone then do the rest of the shop on the tablet, just like I used to do with the old app.
