Controller: Aircraft for Sale 4+

This app isn’t nearly as functional as previous versions. Please just ditch this version and revert to the previous version that just worked. Now the data, the items, the planes, are nested so deep inside of filters, that browsing listings is so cumbersome that I’ve already begun using other apps and services. This update is an example of when an update goes bad.

I am a huge proponent of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I don’t know who at Controller is in charge of app design but they should consider that saying before making changes next time. I don’t know why that is such a trend in the industry. Controller was a very good app, extremely easy to use to find exactly what you wanted, quickly. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, they decided to change the way you select search criteria in the latest big update. Rather than click on the things you’re looking for from the start, you have to click on a general category, let it load, then go back into filters and scroll, open sub menus, then apply things, etc etc etc.

All they did was add extra steps to what was a simple process to begin with for no obvious reason whatsoever, besides maybe to shove payed listings down your throat. Very disappointing change. Uninstalled because I can’t stomach when people take something good and deliberately make it less user friendly.

The old version was dated, but worked. 6.0.0 is unusable on my iPad (current model iPad mini with max memory). It insist I prove I’m human (on a downloaded app where I’m clicking on the screen, why?)

I can’t read the text because it is to small and to faint (very small/thin/narrow text that appears gray, not black). I can no longer open pictures full screen and when I enlarge them, I can’t go to the next picture. If i “open” a picture, I can’t close it. I have to shut entire app down and start over. Or it crashes and does the job for me.

This version might be the foundation for something good in the future, but it wasn’t ready for release in its current form. It seems more like a bad website rather than a real app. No imagination as to what a modern aircraft sales app could be.
