3 years agoIs v8 a mistake edition?
Looking around on the internet it quickly become apparent that V8 isn't exactly going down well with the users, and I get a bit of Windows 8 deja vu.
So my question is, does Agilebits acknowledge ...

ag_mike_d on iOS as mentioned the indexing letters don't appear - so presume this is by design - however the header instead wastes a lot of screen real-estate. I have also noticed other anomalies that I will mention at bottom of this post.
This is 1Password 7 on iPhone 12 Pro Max (with a favourites list of 10 items designed to ensure all 10 are visible on screen without scrolling, etc):
And this is the new 1Password 8 layout on the same device with the same 10 favourites - only 8 are now visible because of the large amount of screen bandwidth used by the header:
So basically your favourites list gets shortened by 2 items unless you want to faff about scrolling - essentially being a different variation of the issue above with indexing letters - a list of favourites does not fit in the same amount of screen space as it used to in v7. I hate to think what it is like for people who don't have the luxury of a large device like I do (iPhone 12 Pro Max) - They will have less screen to start with, so will lose a greater proportion to the header - perhaps as much as 33% of useable surface area taken?
This is (for me at least) incredibly annoying on a mobile device, especially when needing to switch between apps to do sign ins (such as when login and password fields aren't auto-recognised to allow use of the system password app, or when they are actively blocked from being pasted into - which seems to be becoming more frequent BTW).
NOTE: This (the above paragraph) is also a major reason why removal of the PIN option is also incredibly frustrating and annoying - as 1Password relocks each time you switch apps so constantly re-entering a long passphrase is infuriating when trying to log into a app or site with these constraints (and not wanting to disable the security in 1Password itself).
As for the other issues/anomalies I've noticed:
- You will note the second screen shot is not in alphabetical order - that is because I cannot figure out how to get it to go alphabetically on my iPhone (iOS) - my main list of all items I have changed to alphabetical and that displays that alphabetically - but the favourites will not follow suit - it always displays in this random order that is not date modified order; I'm guessing its the original date creation order reversed - and I cannot find anyway anywhere in the app to change it from this! (P.S. I'm betting its a programming slip up and someone has forgotten to enable the sorting function on this screen? or perhaps it's not and I'm just too dumb to figure it out.)
- Also you will note that the v7 screen shot is correctly showing "Favourites" while v8 is incorrectly showing "Favorites" (I am in New Zealand and using New Zealand & British English on my device) - so I don't know again if this is an intentional 'feature upgrade via feature removal' from v8 (like the PIN issue), or a genuine bug; but its another little annoying niggle for non-Americans versus v7 and not honouring system language settings. Curiously enough my date formats in v8 are (now?) displaying in correct format it seems on iOS - so v8 as of today is using the correct date format from the OS settings, its just not using the other language settings like v7 does.
Cheers.
