Congratulations for the update. But frankly speaking, I’m less than thrilled with the new UI. I know this is a .0 release, but these are my issues: ### UI of Channel list - new vs- not new It’s really hard to tell wether there is a new posting in a channel or not. Yes, its bold - but barely visible: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/rocketchat/original/1X/8feed2349e8811418345a8b1a744040ed5dd5086.jpg) One of these channels contains new messages. But which one? Hint: it’s #offtopic. The indicator of new messages needs to be _way_ more “in your face”. ### UI of channel list - channel icons I disabled the channel icons on my chatserver, for they bear no additional meaning and just clutter the user interface with colour and form. So: how do I get rid of those in the new iOS client: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/rocketchat/original/1X/11d845b41a0dde216f421869cfd794e4839e6e44.jpg) A user/server-settings option would be perfect, I guess. ### UI of Channel list - compact view We have more than 30 channels in our chat. With the new UI I can see only 8 of them on one page - there is lots and lots of negative space. Please give us an option for a “condensed” channel list view, just like in the desktop app. ### UI of Channel list - consistency to webview and desktop The color settings for the sidebar on the new channel-list ignore the ones I’ve set server-wide for the webview and the desktop app. Why? I like the “dark sidebar, white content” view very much. The new themes are “all white” vs. “all dark”. Please consider an option to take over the colors I’ve set server-wide. ### UI of Channel list - sort by activity I like the new options for grouping and sorting the channel list, good job. But there seems to be a bug in the “sort by activity” view - channels with the newest postings appear on the _bottom_ on the list, it should be on the top? This might be a server issue, though - we’re running 0.64.2 ### UI of messages - swipe gesture As I already pointed out [here](https://forums.rocket.chat/t/mobile-apps-swipe/820/6), the swipe gesture to get back to the channel list from a channel is not in line with iOS UI standards. Right now, it’s like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/rocketchat/original/1X/cd20f09d644bde3a2548b9b0e27aaf9200e49aae.jpg) with a tiny small swipe-area on the user icons. On iOS, it should be like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/rocketchat/original/1X/51f00463b119a8c5d0b57d71b33049245859cb86.jpg) With the hole message-area as a swipe-left target. ### UI of compose message window take a look at this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/rocketchat/original/1X/4dca7b9939a277a106e86f010ccfc9c461c151ca.jpg) there is a spelling-suggestion for the word “broken” underneath that cant the reached (the barely seable bubble). ### Conclusion Again, thank you very much for your awesome work. I know you invested lot’s of time in this release, so this might feel like a letdown. I figure most of the issues I pointed out could be fixed with option settings, so your vision on “how it should be” stays alive, but power-users like me and my team can have a more “pro” setting for everyday (hour, minute) usage where every gesture and (touch)click counts. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.rocket.chat/t/ios-3-0-released/1608)._
