The UI/UX is very disappointing; everything is too small: text, menus, cards, bidding box, and kibbing is practically impossible. I have a phone with a good screen size (HTC One M8, 5" viewable screen), but my eyes are straining to see anything comfortably.
In addition, I tried to rent a robot but was told I did not have enough funds in my account. I have 3.50 BB$.

The thing I hate most about the revised software, after the absence of landscape mode, is the enormous box covering more than a quarter of the table, upper right quadrant, which at least in the ACBL robot tourneys, purports to tell you what each bid means. It distracts from the cards. I am unable to concentrate. I want it to go away. Please give me an option to make it disappear.
More than that, is the ACBL ok with this telling me what my bot partner’s bid means, and telling me what he understands my bid to mean? It feels like cheating. Perhaps it is a level playing field with other players in the ACBL robot tournaments, but it seems unfair to players also vying for ACBL points but in all-human tournaments.
And is there really no way to call the director in an ACBL tournament?

My mother - who has used BBO for the last few months can no longer play the game. She updated the version and tried three times over the last week. The new color scheme is way too intense and has caused her great dizziness. Please revert the color scheme or add some more subtle skins to the game.
As for the landscape/portrait discussion - count both of us in the Landscape camp. In reality, my opinion is that was driven by ad revenue... with landscape mode there was not enough room on the screen To sell advertisements. Luckilly for me, I had not yet done a backup of my ipad to my itunes. So, I simply reverted to the previous release. Please just let us pay to get rid of the ad banner. Our old fingers have a hard enough time trying to hit the buttons in landscape mode - let alone portrait.
For other users: The link below outlines one simple method to downgrade your app to the previous version. You will want to follow option 2 in the article.

The funny thing is that many of the users are making their first post related to the new version. I have used the application for almost 5 years with no posts until this version....

SECOND THING WHICH I AM REQUESTING IS DISPLACE THE UNDO BUTTON FROM SCROLL AND BRING IT CLOSE TOTH BIDDING BAR. THIS WILL REDUCE THE TIME
TAKEN TO DO undo.
Third suggestion is regarding design of bbo opening page, it ha to be colourful

There might be two cutoffs, one on days and another one on number of posts. Just post a lot of random stuff, that's how I got to 10k. In the meantime, I'm happy to upvote any posts you tell me to upvote.
