Great app/device (Zappi 2 in my case) but UX is a disaster. Aesthetics: a combination of neon on black & brushed steel make for poor accessibility. Controls are awkward and laggy: text entry fields disappear off the side of the screen & activity is blocked on network traffic. But worse, modes of operation and their presentation. 'Boost' seems to replace 'charge' arbitrarily. Desc. for Eco and Eco+ are identical and opaque. Great hardware fights against frustrating software.

The actual Eddi and Zappi products are fine. This rating is purely for the app. I can forgive the responsiveness issues when changing settings, that's probably more to do with the integration between whoever built the backend and device settings retrieval. BUT, the UX of this app is probably one of the worst user experiences I've ever seen. It's like someone in the company insists on these dated design elements because they just don't know modern design patterns. Find a good UX engineer, PLEASE

Very disappointed in the last update where someone has decided their "design philosophy" was what we all wanted and replaced the perfectly adequate black background with grey. It now looks washed out and I don't understand why UI designers feel a need to constantly "add value" where it was not asked for or required. It was fine before, please just bring back night mode or black background for OLED devices. Still no data history beyond the basic month and previous month.
