Hate the new version

Cobook used to be this cute little app that pulled in Facebook and LinkedIn contacts. Now it’s a bloated pig of a ‘flat design’ nightmare. This thing takes up a quarter of my 30” monitor with its popups and shows so little information. Every contact without a photo has an empty ‘grey head’ picture. The sync doesn’t seem to work. Even their website is empty and useless…click on ‘Help’ and you are directed to a ‘FAQ’ with 10 (ten) answers. That is the total of the help. When you edit a contact there is no ‘Done’ or ’Save’ or ‘OK’ button. You are supposed to know that the pencil icon being a subtle shade of orange means you have to click on it to save. Why couldn’t they have left this app alone, not many apps have me shouting at my computer but Cobook achieved this today. Sorry, Cobook, I used to recommend you to people but now I warn them away.
