What did they mess up? I have one and all I noticed is that the iPhone app got an update that imparts a cleaner UI design, reminiscent of Nokia's golden age (i.e. Marko-Ahtisaari-esque).

I've found the app cleaner, but more difficult to use. I have several complaints about this new app:

- Heart rate used to show on a chart that would show normal range and your history. Now it's a single number. I have to swipe to see my history.

- I can no longer swipe pinch to customize the date range.

- They removed one of my features, a running average of my weight over time. If you zoom out to three-month view, you can still see an average. However, I liked seeing it always.

I think they could have updated the fonts and made the background colors shades of white and gray. This would have made it felt clean without removing a ton of functionality. Perhaps mocking up a redesign will be a weekend project for me.

Why do you think these are Nokias doing?

The old team is still in charge of app development, the only thing Nokia has changed is the brand.
