The new puzzle display is so bad

I found out that you can turn off the silly score that just keeps going up forever. It then shows the old one with a chart. So at least you can see if you have been doing well or not.

Yes turning off the score count will bring the UI to close how it used to be.

Puzzles are why I am here, and not being able to completely revert to the old UI is why I am contemplating leaving.

You should be able to. If you're on the iOS app be sure to update to 4.7.1

That’s the version I am using. After disabling the score thing, I still can’t revert the following (from top to bottom):

• Empty/unused area at the top
• Huge distracting « White/Black to play » display
• Board not in the center but shifted towards the bottom 
• Tiny lower area for progression, elo like score, time

Basically the information is the same as before, but presented in a much worse way. Is there anything I am missing?

No, those differences were for coach and at some point that may come back but there's nothing to change the layout now. Not sure if there's going to be additional updates to change that or not

Thank you for confirming that.

It’s those little things that turn a perfect experience into crap. I haven’t been able to complete a puzzle since, I am so distracted by the obnoxious “X to play” banner and the board being shifted down.

Sad.

Such bad UI. Will stop playing. Why change something that works well ??

Aaaaaaaand once again I went past another level and it failed to display the animation. I'm all for adaptability but looks like the app team didn't even test this new version at all. This sucks, bring back the old code

This new UI truly is a huge step in the wrong direction. Agree on most comments here. Distracting and non-intuitive.

+ my app has always had these little moments of having no connection, don’t know why. Before it wasn’t a problem since puzzles seemed to give me minus or plus points even though connection would have had a small glitch - it asked a on regular basis after telling connection lost to ”try again”, and then the points came. Now when I press ”try again”, it just moves to the next puzzle thus making the already solved (correctly or incorrectly) puzzle futile.

I know developers never want to go back. I know how hurtful negative feedback can be. I still hope these comments would be taken to account ’cause for me the experience is a serious drawback.

Here we are again. Still not displaying the animations correctly. This sucks. When are you going to allow toggle to the previous version?

There's an issue with some points being awarded after clicking the Next button, so if those put you over the threshold to move up a step, you won't see step that animation.

I don't know if that only impacts Android or also iOS but staff are aware of it happening.

I really dislike not seeing my puzzles rating as I move through the puzzles. I'd like the old way back please where I could see instantly what my score is.

I hate popups so being asked to do puzzles before I can get to my game is annoying. I do my game first and then my puzzles.

You can disable Coach Nudges in your settings.

What tier and app are you on? I started seeing the same thing in Legend tier (on Android) but I'm getting animations now that I'm back to Wood

A couple of days ago the puzzle display on my android changed completely, where it only displays the puzzle score after you complete the puzzle, which is rather irrelevant, and no longer shows the puzzle rating. I really have to question wether any of the UI developers and designers actually use the game themselves at all. But most of all, I have to wonder where they get these ideas? Were they working on a coach feature with cool commentary, and then didn't bother cleaning up afterwards? The game review got messed up as well a couple weeks back. A refund is nice enough, but would rather prefer they stop breaking stuff.

What happened to the puzzle ratings?

Part of the idea of the new puzzle feature was to de-emphasize rating. When releasing the feature on iOS, in conjunction with some code for coach being added, Android matched the removal of a visual representation of rating changes. The rating is still changing though.

I agree, it was nice seeing the rating changes and my understanding is that there are plans to add a setting for those that want them. Coach will come back at some point as well, so the code and design considerations for it have remained.

Glad it's not just me. Before they started messing around with the puzzle screen on mobile, it was perfectly fine. Then some 'suit' decided they needed to justify their job by ordering all these UNWELCOME changes. As it is now, even their own tier system is broken from these changes. Before the updates, I could watch animations of my tier progress. Then they broke that to where you'd advance a tier with no animation. Now I can't even earn points towards the next rank, because their 'updates' have broken adding points to the meter bar.
