![]() ![]() It’s great to be able to adjust a groups brightness without first opening the group. With this said, although I’ve uninstalled the beta from my phone, I’ve kept it on my tablet to evaluate it a bit further. Long pressing as you suggest could have worked great with the old UI. I’ve been hoping for LIFX to make it possible to adjust the brightness of the groups, lights or even themes from the big old buttons. I just don’t see why most of this couldn’t have been made as incremental improvements on the old app base. Some of the readers might be interested to know that the true discussion about the beta release happens actually on Reddit: I will also backup the current production version of the app and will continue using it until someone reports the new app is suitable for daily use again. I am forced to leave the beta program for the first time. Even us regular beta testers cannot be expected to control our lights with a broken app. I feel really bad that I have to say all this after clearly a lot of hours poured in… But as a usability oriented developer and as a beta tester for multiple years, my wish and a recommendation is to either pull this release out and return it back to the drawing board or release it as a separate “LIFX Alpha” app. The inconsistencies and inpracticalities of the new UI are so numerous I won’t bother listing them for this alpha version.
