Need Answer

Have two tablets - one which I just installed the new Android APP. I use both at the present time. I would like to know what other users think about the new APP compared to the old APP?

I dont lik it very much. I am very sorry.


Only one of my ides was imlemented. That was the idea that everyone els sort of demanded. The ide was to not remove the devices tab.


I am so sorry Muril, after all your work.


But hopefully the design team have som new ideas.


And it will be very interesting to se how the new iOS app looks. Filip have told me that moste of my ides was obvious and ofcour they will be implemented then. He have also told me that he don't like some of my ides.


So hopefully he and "design team" have better ides.


My most wished for idea is press and hold for dimming ligts, blinds and temperature.


Filip have not told me if it is this particular thing he thinks is obvious or not like. I have seen more and more home automation apps that have this.


But I am holdin my thumbs for a good iOS app.


And that iPhone 7 will be the best phone on the market.

Hi Muriel and sorry for the name mistake. Any way the sorry is for complaining on your work witch I don't want to do. And I can imagine that it is not that fun to work and get complains.


>Exactly we are not going to make an app just for You but instead we are trying to please and listen to the majority,

What I read on the android forum all of my ides was liked by almost everyone.

Those not aware of my ides. Tis is way I suggested:

Change of things in the iOS app. But is things that could have bin used in the Android app.

Some kind of watch os app:

Smaler elements as an option in the Android app. Some suggested that the big elements was for elderly people. And fine with me but the rest of us wanted smaller elements. Use green color as Zipatos signature. This could also be a option?

Example how blinds control could look in a smal element. And the majority of people liket this idea.

Example of temp control as a smal element with alot of info.

This is example of smal element for blinds control. This was also an ide that most people liked. Or should I post the comments from the forum. Or was it only me that wanted this?

I do not think that any of this ides was only me that wanted?


I have bin told by Filip that most of my ides is obvious and he did not like some of them. But it is up to the design team to decide how the app will end up, but it is still the endusers that need to like those ides. And of course if someone in your position, Filip and Muriel, lead programers wants things in this or that way, it will affect all end users. And I am not trying to get personal. But many of my ides you Filip told me was obvious and then there is nothing to discus. Zipato will benefit from listening to the users. And you to. And the users liked my ides. So whats to say? Muriel asked the users of what they think of the app and my thoughts stand. And not that much have changed with the app, design wise the latest year. And if the iOS app is going the same path there will be many disappointed users. And that is not what you want!


So I expect the results to be super good and much better then my ideas. If anyone like or dislike my ides pleas feel free to comment and I will think of something better. And compare it to all other home automation apps.


And buy the way my wife have gone over to Samsung Galaxy S5 Edge and she use the android app, but I have to help hear because she thinks it is to complex. So I am not judging your app based on only pictures.


But I have only one goole, as good app, as possible. As good integration with your home as possible.


Don't tell me that it was only me that liked the ides. What I know Sebastian promised to to look in to the ides and listen to the users. And that is not what is displayed in the new Android app. I am sorry I think like this. But someone have to say it. And lets just hope we move forward and that Zipato become the best home automation company in the world.

Since you keep repeating that I said most of your ideas are obvious, I'm just gonna quote myself:


  1. As for your feedback, I watched all the videos and while I agree with the reasoning behind most of your suggestions, I personally don't really like most of proposed solutions, and the ones I do like - we've already come up with ourselves because they're so obvious.

I have spent a lot of time trying to explain to you nicely that my work (and same goes for Muriel) does not revolve around you, but you just keep twisting our words and always come back with some ridiculous quotes and arguments or questions we already answered and then you get offended when we stop trying to argue with you. Either way, you win. Congrats. You should start your own company and implement all your great ideas. Clearly you got enough time on your hands.

I apologize to Mel for taking this topic in the wrong direction, I'm gonna lock comments here before this goes even further.
