Nest Releases Nest Mobile 4.0 Update

The nest has released its new Nest Mobile 4.0 update yesterday. But many users aren’t happy and they are just confused about it.

The update 4.0 has totally redesigned UI & many other functions but all went wrong as the users have a little confusion about this update.

For instance, some users are saying that the scheduled modifications are gone, but they are just tougher to find. You need to tap on thermostat to maximize it, and then a menu icon located at the upper right side will show things like the scheduler and the energy history. When thermostat isn’t maximized, same kind of icon does something else.

You would be surprised to know that there isn’t any help section or tooltips available. Even an email presenting to the users would have been a great idea.

The Nest is one of the great companies, this newest version of iOS app might have been a lot more instinctive. Maybe we’ll see a rapid update.

Note to the Nest: ‘’Help’’ info is very good to include when you change the software radically. What looks obvious to the Nest employees who live with that kind of products every day, might not be obvious to others.

iOS 7 beta 5 Drops With Revamped Control Center, Messages and Settings

The Apple stepped up its iOS 7 launch schedule this week, releasing beta 5 to the developers a short 8 days after beta 4. Categorized build 11A4449a, the latest version of the Apple’s mobile operating system comes with the overhauled settings app with a nifty colored icon as seen in the screenshot posted at the MacRumors:

Other features comprise a new control center setting that lets the feature to be turned off while in the apps. This stops control center from being inadvertently invoked when dragging up from the bottom in the app. Many people had some problems with the control center conflicting with buttons and controls located along the lower edge of the app’s UI.

The problem is that the beta 5’s control center implementation uses the all or nothing approach. The new ‘access within apps’ slider turns off control center for the all apps, that is not ideal. It would be good if control center setting allowed you to blacklist the apps that conflicted with feature. Or otherwise, you might whitelist apps that you wanted control center to work with.

Other features comprise new phone icons, an updated power off slider, banner notification (pull-down behavior), new on/off toggles in accessibility settings and a new Twitter icon. Changes are being followed on the MacRumors and its forums.
