Right off the bat. The first screen I see is fine, same old. Scanner, OBD direct, VEHICLE HISTORY, etc, Nice and clean.
Tap "Scanner" and a third of the screen is taken up by the last four or so cars that were scanner. WTF? Back a page is the VEHICLE HISTORY button. I saw it, I use it, I know where to find it. Now to access almost half the vehicle makes I have to scroll down. For no good reason. I don't want to scroll down. No one does. Ever. KISS. Seriously, this is awful. It was bad enough when I had to scroll down for VW and Volvo simply because no one had sense enough to shrink the buttons slightly so everything would fit on one screen. Like in 17.4. I swear I am NEVER upgrading my Edge from 17.4 the way this is going. Reminds me of the old days when Microsoft forgot what "User interface" and "ease of use" meant.
That wasn't bad enough. It annoyed me (and still does) a lot when someone arbitrarily split the scannable modules up between what THEY considered to be the most commonly used. Versus just putting them on the screen (KISS) so I can pick and choose as I like. NOW, there's and extra clutter on the screen with big long buttons asking me whether I want to do a first time scan or a scan for after I have done repairs. Thanks for that. That's how I got to where I am today in the auto repair business (being able to afford multi-thousand dollar scanners) by being completely retarded. Appreciate the thought.
There's a very good chance at this point when our agreement runs out on this Zeus that we will be discontinuing using Snap On scan tools. That is from my boss, not me. Autel and Bosch are prime replacement contenders. Sorry.
