Seems like Zwift is releasing the new home screen to everyone zoon. Just got the email:
"For most of us, home is where we end our journeys. In the next week, it’s where your Zwift adventure begins!
Navigating through Zwift is easier than ever. Once it’s active, take it for a test ride. Kick the tires, err, check the PSI, and let us know what you think. We hope it helps you have even more fun.
That’s the goal. Here at Zwift, we know that when you’re having fun, fitness, and form follow suit. "
I wonder if it’s still only going to be PC and Mac only though.
Received mine around midday my time on 18 March, booted up the PC when I got home, and found I had the new home screen.
I do notice a couple of differences in the text in mine, compared to that posted by @Aoi_Niigaki :
First para, second sentence =>
Mine: For the new home screen, it’s where adventure begins!
Aoi: In the next week, it’s where your Zwift adventure begins!
I noticed in GPLama’s recent video and somewhere in ZI this week (I think), an allusion to a big push to get the new home screen to a lot more people very soon. Maybe they are sending out emails en masse to everyone who will get it unlocked in the coming week?
They have raised fund a collected over $500+ million in total if I remember correctly. Subscriber’s fees probably go to paying those investors back.
Who cares if they sponsor L39ion of LA, help the Williams brothers collect a 6 figure paycheck while promoting Zwift in SOCAL/LA valley, probably one of the most unnecessary spots in the world for an online training game when your weather is that nice year round. Personally them helping (throwing cash) at women’s cycling is great and the women actually race hard on Zwift unlike most of the pro guys that don’t care about it.
Oh no, subscription fees just go towards convincing the next investors to pay even more. (But yeah, happy to pay mine just for the race-name-here Femmes avec Zwift division.)
You don’t want it! My wife got it and its TERRIABLE, its a massive step backwards. I’m so happy with my older interface. I wonder if Zwift has any UX people?
Next week, maybe the new home screen will be expanded to German, Japanese, Spanish and French as well.Italian,Chinese and Korean haven’t been expanded yet, so maybe you can use these language settings to get an old home screen.
(If this doesn’t work, I’ll be a ghost again in my club.)
This UX is very low quality.But the worst thing is that the menu function is limited and forced.
The home screen development team that publishes this UX and asks for feedback seems to be a group of amateurs.It’s called feedback, but it’s just a bug check.I don’t think it’s been updated with months of feedback.
As far as I can see I am still using the old interface. EXCEPT my settings screen is different, and is ridiculously tiny. I can’t read it. Way out of scale compared to the other screens. (This was when I completed a workout and just saved the ride and went into settings to check them)
One of our QA testers says that he had a similar thing happen on his mac with a 29" monitor. Would you try adjusting your Home Screen Scaling to Extra Large?
That XL should adjust the Settings menu without changing any other screens IF the rest of the home screen is the old version. Would you try that and let us know if that improves things for you?
