It is a lot of empty space, but I see down to my climate controls. Maybe it's a display scaling issue?

Just think....someone got paid to come up with that UI design.
Now my phone shows this...

F150
Waiting
to charge


Cant even fit those three words on one line!! Terrible!

The person that got paid for this probably used a 32" monitor for testing instead of an actual phone screen. haha. So here is my message to ford...

I'm hoping to get a response from Ford on this... let me try to get in front of what I expect them to say...

Some of the font sizes in the app are dynamic and related to the text size setup in the phone's general settings. True, but the 'status' field or whatever its called showing the Waiting to charge, is NOT dynamic and is just huge all the time. Furthermore, the fonts used are much larger than necessary, again, causing too much whitespace and padding between fields. This needs to be corrected so the app is usable and doesn't require so much scrolling. This is getting to be far too common in UI designs, so many websites now are also using huge fonts and spacing to create a 'clean look' but it comes at the expense of useability. Phone apps must be useable first, pretty second.

Really like this new feature of the app- at least I think it’s new. I never noticed a software updating message before!

What SW did you get? Did you update the appropriate SW thread? Anything fun or new?

For those finding gross displeasure with this new version remember to leave feedback on the app/play stores to inform the DEV teams.

Aesthetics only. No new features that tons of people request. C’mon @Ford Motor Company
I'll have more to share on this next week as it rolls out. There's more to it than meets the eye.
I really hope I didn't hype this up too much. It's mostly contextual, but good info nonetheless.
If your info doesn't include "new features that tons of people request" or include a realistic timeline as to when those features are gonna happen, yeah, you hyped this too much.
