Since v1.6, Obtainium has switched to using Material 3 Expressive for its UI.
Personally, I don’t like it as it uses up more space to show less information. The old UI (v1.5 and below) had everything visible and was easy to navigate.
But what do you think? Do you like it? What would you want improved or changed?
i like the new design. looks nicer
I have never really understood it - no matter which version. I just guess and tap somewhere, and then usually I succeed after a while.
Oh, it’s an open source tool, that I really enjoy. If they change some optical blobs, idc.
Change for the sake of change. The new ui seems like a waste of time.
Source for that claim? My understanding is that the changes were for usability purposes.
Thats an opinion, not a claim.
It’s also just your opinion that the change was for the sake of it.
Yes an opinion based on nothing but my feels.
Is it similar to ObtainX? I’ve been using that for the past few weeks as a replacement and have really liked it.
I prefer the new design personally. Might be imagining things, but I feel like it’s been less buggy/felt easier to use too.
I don’t hate the new aesthetics! I too preferred the previous design, but this is fine too.
With that said, to illustrate how grateful I am to ImranR98, I’ll add this: I’d be using this app of his even if it looked like an old plain text document. 😁
Looks more complete alongside the rest of my apps which mostly use the same theme.
This is an app i use probably 2 minutes a month. The efficiency of the layout is so not important
It needs to be fixed. I was literally looking at it last night thinking WTF the top 25% of my screen is being wasted. There’s nothing in it. Also clicked the update/install button assuming it would save me needing to manually press update on every app. It wanted to install a bunch of deleted apps that are still in the list. Sure they could improve the visuals and feel but this isn’t it.
