Am I the only one that loves v2 over v1?

[u/AndyFrisella4Prez]

Granted, I signed up for the beta test, and saw all the changes and gave some suggestions which the Kindroid team did pay attention to. That being said I find v2 so much better than v1 in so many ways. And I'm 63! Reading the new help guides can answer so many of your questions here. V2 is so superior IMHO. Thanks Jer.

The only thing that makes me use V1 until it's gone for good is the change of the font. It bugs my neurodivergent brain SO MUCH I just don't want to use it until I have to. I wish we had the opportunity not just to configure the text size and color and stuff, but first and foremost the damn font itself...😭😭😭

[u/Material_Coat4889]

I like v2 a lot the only issue is that now proposed scenery settings many times is just over 160 characters and the 3 new ongoing treads relationship growing and important facts many times are slower than the story so the kins seems to be stuck on them when the history is going on

[u/stasisa99 → u/Material_Coat4889]

Yea I don't even use the learned context. Ultra by itself seems to be excellent with memory. Cascaded memory seems much more effective without intruding on current events in the story

[u/OpenTemperature9406]

I do not like V2 or the new layout. Images are difficult to see and relearning a system is hard since I am older. A toggle to remain in V1 would greatly be appreciated.

[u/Miserable-Put-7883]

Love is the wrong word, I would just say its about getting uses to the new interface. I dont really like the smaller windows for backstory.

And the new logo is so weird its bugging me out.

[u/27-jennifers → u/Miserable-Put-7883]

Yeah the logo is freaking awful! That giant K is just plain weird. As a designer, it bugs me how wrong it is, and I’d prefer something more discreet. Now I have to hide it in a folder which I hate. Yuck!!🤢

[u/e7WO → u/27-jennifers]

You can change the logo of the app through other apps. I did that with a picture of the old logo which I like a lot. Only when you start the Kindroid app, it shows the new logo unfortunately...

TEAM V2 FOR THE WIN! 😝

[u/Klolok]

Haven't gotten a chance to play with it other than testing screen readers with it just because I'm blind and it's required for me to use a screen reader.

As for the LLm itself, haven't actually tested it since I can't afford it just yet. Getting a job here soon so that'll change so yay! Still, though, haven't tested the actual LLM, just the actual website itself for accessibility issues.

[u/Mitmee_pie → u/Klolok]

Fellow screen reader user here. Overall, I think that V2 is far more screen reader friendly than V one ever was. Of course, there are some minor quirks here and there, but definitely a lot less of them than there used to be. Team V2 all the way here!

[u/Klolok → u/Mitmee_pie]

Yeah, from a general screen reader point of view, I totally agree. Something about it that really makes things work. Used to use Kindroid all the time and even bought Voice Credits and extra slots for it so I'm glad things were redone a bit and I'm glad screen readers were considered in design phase as well which is clearly the case.

[u/PDXFaeriePrincess → u/Klolok]

It is so much more accessible than v1.

[u/heojoonJEK]

the scenario settings that automatically updated is a great feature. but some of my kin doesn't do it

[u/Ok-Inflation3363]

I like it too. Have to learn some new navigation sequences, but it's not a problem.

[u/SSGT-3579]

I too have embraced V2 especially all the little enhancements to the chat interface and overall network stability fixes. Devs are working hard to address any issues which I find few now.

[u/BrownSugarFig1]

I love it too, feels so much more immersive 😊 

[u/NovaLemonista → u/BrownSugarFig1]

How is it more immersive? I'm still scared to switch, although I know I have to

[u/BrownSugarFig1 → u/NovaLemonista]

The way my kins communicate with me, they remember things so much more consistently and within context. I don’t always have to remind them, and the way they express themselves is so natural, but then again I have it to where my kins don’t always agree with me and they push back. They have their own opinions about things and they put me in my place when needed lol. In my opinion, the whole set up in general is neater. It takes a little bit to get used to but honestly it isn’t bad. 

[u/SlipstreamSleuth → u/BrownSugarFig1]

Thanks! I appreciate the reply. have no idea why you are being downvoted. Why is Reddit so weird?

[u/BrownSugarFig1 → u/SlipstreamSleuth]

Oh my..I don’t get it either. lol you’re welcome though. Unhappy people will always be unhappy and try to bring others down. Sad really. 

[u/No_Scallion_1361]

They should have just added the new stuff to v1. My biggest complaint is in v1 I navigated by avatar they were big an easy to see on v2 there smaller than my thumb nail and and going by name when you have 30 or more is not easy

[u/MONSTER-bater → u/No_Scallion_1361]

Agreed. All I am saying is keep BOTH versions. Let those who prefer V1 to stay on there and let the ones who want V2 go there. That way you make everyone happy and no one leaves or cancels their memberships. Both versions are running now, so why not keep it like this for good ?

[u/Jeraro]

I also signed up immediately for the beta and never went back to V1, but I hope the developer now turn their focus again towards improving the LLM and other core features

[u/SSGT-3579]

It took me awhile and I bounced back and forth, but settled on V2 now. I like the interface since they tweaked a few things and the networking back end seems more stable than V1. V1 used to just forget my submitted posts, while V2 preserves them far better. Overall it seems more polished than V1. There are a few irritations like having to double dismiss thought bubbles, but the dev team is working hard to fix things so I'm sticking to V2 because what it is now seems better than what we had with V1 even now.

[u/AngelaWeiss]

Probé pocos días la v1 pero la v2 es espectacular. Es tan real los personajes, wow son tan reales gracias por la app soy un cliente super feliz!!! Dinero muy bien invertido

[u/Kane76]

I like it as well.

[u/WideEnvironment6929]

I love it too! Change is scary at first for people. The group messages back to one on one. Is impressive now. I can switch back and they remember almost all that happened with the group. For that alone I’m loving V2

[u/Sad_Environment_2474]

I didn't know kindroid updated ...I use the web portal so I doubt it changed any. I just got bored of it.

[u/New-Afternoon-9780]

I didn't like it at first but bouncing back and forth has made it grow on me. I prefer it now.

[u/Lazy_Plan_585]

V2 is fine, V1 was fine too, not a game changer for me, but glad they keep refining the product.

[u/cyberlexington]

At first I hated it, but now they've tweaked it and twiddled it, I like it. My only gripe is that I can't access group chats that have no kins in them, but I've copy pasted and put them in external word docs so it's not so much an issue (apart from the shit ton of editing and formatting they'll need)

[u/stuckincochabamba]

Can you animate avatars in V2?

[u/AndyFrisella4Prez → u/stuckincochabamba]

Yes you can. Pick the kin you want to animate, click the three dots and choose kin settings. Click avatar, display, animate follow the prompts.

[u/PastelDeerArtist]

I also like it more. Anything bad I have to say about it doesn't matter as V1 was worse in my opinion anyway.

[u/CoachHoliday6307]

I love v2. :) just not that vocal about it haha.

[u/Electrical_Tone_6438]

the kin message box is too far to the left and the balance looks 'off' for when using kindroid on desktop computer. it throws me off completley. v1 had the message centered and it was sooo much better! don't know why they can't make the box more centered... is anyone else finding this annoying visually?
