Anyone else hate the new Live View?

So I wake up yesterday morning to a blinding bright Live View, ouch!

I wish we would at least get a heads up and with at least a Dark View option, so we are not blinded by the light!

It would be nice if we had options to select how we wanted our Live View to look.

Anyone else have an issue with the new Live View?

I totally agree! I hate the new live view, very hard on the eyes, it’s so hard to see where the shoppers are from, and there’s no information at the bottom of the screen showing where your shoppers are from. I would definitely like to see it changed back. Not happy with the new live at all. As a paying customer there should be an option to switch back.

I’m hating the new live view as well, and also dislike the “Map view” option now too. It’s too light and the blue dots are extremely small and hard to see.

I’d like to see:

  1. a darker map with the states in the USA outlined and labeled, and then when someone visits have it be like a bright star, almost the same icon as when someone buys from you.

  2. How many ITEMS are sold in addition to total order count

  3. The Page view count (as you’d see it in the app before clicking “See live view” - i watch this closely too

It’s the worst! It’s ugly and makes no sense. I’m selling in 2 smaller European countries. With the new view, one country is being reduced to 2 hexagons. Ridiculous!

Has the dialog along the bottom that shows what your visitor is viewing also gone?

Completely useless feature now.

We sell in one country only, now due to this ridiculous look I can’t even tell which region the visitors are from anymore.

And the best part, as soon as I open it my CPU usage shoots to over 80% and my fans go ballistic, then back down to 1% when I exit that page.

Just bring back the flat map already.

New Live view is miserable. Exceptionally bright, the dotted outlines versus state/countries is garbage, and the latest ‘search function’ changes are awful too. It’s quite literally 2 more clicks to sort by created - new. No one is asking for any of these changes, literally no one. It feels like Product just trying to stay busy to validate employment. All of these changes should be opt-in only or at the very least offer options to revert back to prior display versions (I know supporting that wouldn’t be the most cost effective, but UX is just as important as UI).
