Older version was great - this one is terrible
I had zero problems with the first version of this application for the automower 450x. However, this version 1.) does not update what the mower is doing (it will show it as disconnected when the mower is running), 2.) does not have same functions for controlling the mower (park, start) and changing settings, and 3.) generally is less user friendly. Husqvarna would make this customer happy by returning to the older version, or fixing this so that is has the same function as the first.

Why does the app persistently lose the password
The refreshed ui is an improvement. At least now we can see the battery level. But the constant loss of the password, unlike any other app on my phone, is extremely annoying. I had to change it from a complex password to a simple one to make this more useful, at the expense of security. Hey, this is a lawnmower app, not a banking app—there is no good security reason for inconveniencing users every couple of weeks. And you are encouraging weaker passwords.
Please make it possible to start the mower from the app when it now requires a manual start from the dock. I don’t see any good reason for this gross inconvenience.

Awful! Bring back the old version!
This new version is useless! I never write reviews but this update is so BAD I felt compelled to! The notifications use to explain what was wrong with the mower and did it in a fun way. Now notifications are generic, when they come through! You use to be able to zoom in on the map to find out exactly where your mower was, not anymore. And you could follow it around in somewhat real time. It was easier to navigate to the map and the mowers info. I don't care about the battery percentage, bring back the easy of use of the old app and the fun of the notifications! Such a disappointment especially considering the cost of the mower.
