1P8 Feedback Thus Far

I decided to take a peak at 1P8 for iOS. Below is my feedback so far.

-As with the macOS version, the whole Collections concept is incredibly unintuitive. I suppose Collections are nice for certain users who want particular vaults grouped together, however there should be a built in mechanism for selecting 1 vault at a time. Forcing users to create a handful of collections with 1 vault each just to replicate existing behavior on 1P7 isn't a great practice, not informing users of this at all is even worse.

-I immediately noticed a couple of glaring GUI bugs.
* Tapping the Customize button on the Items tab never works the first time.
* The drag and and drop mechanism within the Customize menu is just plain awful. It takes several taps to actually grab an item. It's difficult to keep hold of an item to drag it more than 1 space up or down and if you do manage to keep hold of an item to drag it around, it's very laggy.

-Removing the Search bar from each tab and separating it out to it's own tab doesn't make much sense to me. It doesn't add any functionality and really underutilizes the new GUI. There's plenty of real estate to have kept the Search Bar in every tab. I'd like to see the Search tab replaced by a Settings tab or better yet, let the bottom tab bar be customizable as well.

-This has been brought up by several others but I'll add it in anyways for the sake of completeness. Having the Favorites be unchangeably sorted by creation date is totally non-sensical, especially given that this wasn't the behavior of 1P7 and 1P8 has sort customization pretty much every where else.

-I also saw someone else mention that there should be an option to change the default action when tapping on an item's password. Currently a tap automatically copies the password to the clipboard and a press/hold is required for Reveal and other actions. An even better solution would be to just use the swipe right for action X, swipe left for action Y functionality that exists throughout the rest of iOS.

-Haptics are mysteriously missing for certain actions such as the sub menu pop up created by the press/hold action on passwords.

-Finally as a feature request, I'd like to see the 1Password Community site be integrated into the apps. I know this would be a heavy lift, but it's always bugged me how fenced off the Community site is from everything, to the point of requiring an entirely separate login. I've always found this to be a great resource where the Support staff is typically responsive and helpful and I think it would be better served with tighter integration into 1Password's product line.

Overall my critique of the iOS version of 1P8 is consistent with the macOS version. It looks much better and cleaner and I like the addition of the UI customization options but there are several instances of backwards steps in terms of functionality and bugs that really shouldn't have made it to production.

    Jack_P_1P I’m also now unable to replicate that issue. There have been 2 releases since then so I’m guessing one of those somehow addressed it.

    Thank you for your feedback on the other items.

    Hi AMonitorDarkly:

    I sincerely apologize for missing your thread until now.

    Regarding customizing the Items tab, I wasn't able to replicate on 8.9.3. Tapping Customize immediately opened the customize view for me.

    While I can't promise anything, I hope we'll have some changes you'll enjoy soon. 🙂

    I've brought this up with the team.

    For what it's worth, it's somewhat intentional that the 1Password Support Community is an entirely separate site. For example, you're under no obligation to use the same email as you use for your 1Password account. Additionally, it isn't mandatory to have a 1Password.com (or .ca/.eu) account to join the Support Community.

    If you go into a Tag menu, tap on a tag, tap to enter an item and then swipe right to go back to the Tag menu, the GUI will glitch and go to the All Items screen and from there you won't be able to select any items at all. This only happens if you swipe right out the item, the bug will not occur if you use the back arrow button.

    This is something we're aware of and hope to have sorted soon.

    As I know 1Password staff is on wellness day today. So I think that no one will be answering until tomorrow at the earliest. 😉

    Can a support staff member please acknowledge at least the bugs I’ve mentioned? The Tag menu glitch one is particularly annoying.

    Adding in another GUI bug I just found.

    If you go into a Tag menu, tap on a tag, tap to enter an item and then swipe right to go back to the Tag menu, the GUI will glitch and go to the All Items screen and from there you won't be able to select any items at all.

    I like it, and welcome any improvements over time.

    I like that I can use face ID to open it now.
