Can’t continue after recent update
I would have previously given the app 4 stars for its excellent core functionality but high monthly fee and apparent lack of a few minor convenience features.*
When I launched the app yesterday, I was prompted to update to a new version, which seems to be worse in almost every imaginable way:
The app feels slower/worse. The refresh rate of the camera has been cut, so even slight movement caused by an unsteady hand can be enough to cause blurring. The processing time after snapping a picture feels consistently longer than before, and perhaps worst of all, the counting seems less accurate than before. In the small sample size of two days using the new version, I noticed two or three cases of pills not being counted, which almost never happened before.
As a result, an app that I liked but thought was rather expensive is now an app that I am unlikely to continue using.
* Is there not a feature to do a running count? If I’m counting to 360 and it’s going to take me three or four pictures to get there, I always have to get out a calculator or pen and paper to add up the values.
