As many of you I have been a satisfied user of the Touchdown for smartphones app for several years.
However after the latest update to version 9.0.00412 I’m having serious troubles whereas the overhaul to the new design is a complete disaster as far I'm concerned.
Technical issues
The app is utterly slow. It takes second before contacts, emails or tasks appear.
The calendar part of the app doesn't function at all. I get an almost blank screen. After this Touchdown freezes and so does my phone. I have to end the app manually by Android’s task manager or sometimes even to restart my phone (Samsung Galaxy S5)
I don't want to be too harsh, but in my experience Touchdown at the moment is crap. What has happened with my beloved Touchdown?
User interface and colour schemes
As I've already indicated, the new design is a complete disaster as far as I'm concerned.
Why did the location of buttons have to change? Why on earth are we convicted to these childish colours and themes.
As a colour blind male it is very difficult for me to see the difference between the background colours and the colours of the buttons. The only exception is the blue coloured scheme, but that one is so ugly it hurts the eyes, apart from not being very business-like. I'm a consultant and not an addict to some sort of gameboy.
My request
Please fix these technical issues asap. Otherwise the app is useless for me and I will choose another app for this purpose. I read comments from satisfied users of Nine and this seems to be a perfect replacement.
Nonetheless I would prefer sticking to Touchdown.
Furthermore please return to the former UI, or at least give us the opportunity to choose the former UI ourselves.
If that's not possible from a commercial point of view please give users the opportunity to choose the colours of background and buttons in a much broader variety, so that colour blinds like me can choose their own scheme or settings.
