W1 app on android play store had update just recently (I saw early Mar 2019) the app shortcut disapeared from my home screen and I needed to bring it back from my all apps area and pin to my home screen again. After I opened the app I was surprised to see they have reverted the app back from the sleeker looking APP to the old school version.
Has anyone else seen this. One thing I did come across looking at Kerui background is it seems that some of the alarm control panels are made by different companies which explains why the apps and settings on the units are so completely different.
My guess for the rollback is they lost partnership with another company that was supplying the app or maybe it was costing them to much fees and they dumped them and re-instated the original app they own outright.
Does this mean all the bugs we had in the previous app which has come back are also going to come back (eg it hasn't receive any updates since it was sidelined a few years ago). One good thing to come out of it will be that the old app tells you which sensor triggered eg front door sensor as the newer app would only ever tell you Zone 1 (or zone 2 etc..) was alarming which did not help diagnosing false alarms on certain sensor.
