I have seen that the upgrade was just about the design and i don't think many complained about the design.
Talking from a TD point of view we need these improvements :
1. a refresh button at pending tourneys - now there is a delay up to 4 minutes
2. a refresh button at friends list ( now i often see a friend 2 times and others not at all, even if they are online and chatting with me)
3. more friendly, easier and most of all faster to do adjustments
4 . Remove the subtitutes button for all tourneys - this one delays a lot Tds work ( many register as sub in all tourneys and they reject all of them minus one if not reject all of them.
5. Bubbles notifiying a friend coming online should last more than 2-3 seconds and put them one over another not to climb like on stairs
6. we dont need to receive any message under director calls when a player is back.

BBo freezes when many calls, if you are doing an adjustment and you have SHOW TABLES open.You have to log off and restart what you were doing.

At next upgrade we need to see the difference and not in design.

Oh, there is much more. Not letting the person who set up a match talk to anyone on both teams privately, allowing a player to object to their partners concession, letting the director give PPs and DPs. Allowing the director to see the travellers, if nothing else then for the post game Zoom chat, enabling weighted scores, playing “real” Swiss Pairs (not Danish, and with MPs converted to VP by preference). I have heard that there are problems with Swiss and multiple teams, and is point-a-board even available?

The sad truth is that it is probably very difficult to make improvements in actual function or playability on BBO; I suspect that. the whole thing hangs together by the digital equivalent of scotch tape and spit, and the market position they have enjoyed so far has not provided incentive to use with they have learned to start more or less from scratch.

Now it is probably too late. BBO cannot buy up ALL of their competitors.

True, there is much more, but if we see some important improvements, we can hope that the others will be done also, as soon as posible.

They are working hard, but also have a lot to do. Part of the problem is that BBO is so vast, it does many different things for many different people and it's inevitable that people complain when they see little improvement in their own corner of the garden. But maybe it's also time to take a step back, decide what is core and really get that right. V3 was a missed opportunity in this respect, then covid set its own agenda.
