Guys, honestly… what have you done
Hugely disappointed with the new update (both app and website) I’ve been a long-time user, but this new rollout is a massive step backward. First, you removed the Travel Search. This was an essential feature for planning trips and connecting with guys who were going to be in the same area at the same time. I tried to overlook that loss, but the latest update made things worse. Now, you’ve also removed Keyword Searches. On a niche platform like Recon, keyword filtering is vital for finding compatible matches. Stripping away these core functional features while keeping the membership price exactly the same feels incredibly unfair to paying members. We are paying the same money for a significantly downgraded product. I’ve spoken to many other guys in the community about the new layout, and the consensus is entirely negative. Nobody is happy with these changes. Please listen to your user base and bring back the search tools that made this platform worth paying for.

Laggy, buggy, unintuitive, poor mobile experience
The antiquated, clumsy UX of the old version was replaced with this duplicate of the web interface that’s a navigation nightmare. This is what you get when you don’t design for a mobile experience. The tab bar wastes space on “Feed” and “The Scene” - i’m not sure which one is more useless. And, the account/profile button in the tab bar? Really? How often does a guy look at his own profile? And then to make any changes, you’ve gotta hit the edit button or the gear menu; 2 buttons to make changes and more buttons afterwards. Of course, when you eventually find your way to the profile list, you have a nav bar at the top eating up real estate. The profile pix are bigger now (nice) but then you use tiny fonts with empty whitespace. And, you couldn’t figure out how to combine “Nearby” and “Explore”? Oh, and look, there’s a nice search/filter line eating up space on the top of the page? And what do you end up with? Wow, a few profile pix per page! Have you even looked at any of the other cruising apps? You really should credit the open source components in the app somewhere.

Sad demise of Recon.
The latest app refresh has been a terrible terrible downgrade. It’s slow, clunky and clearly poorly designed. No user feedback has been taken onboard. I wish I could roll back to the old app. It wasn’t great, but it was a hell of a lot better than this trash.
