New App, New Look, and yes, New Software!

My excitement for upgrades continues! A new app for the device which accompanies Glass has been launched and with it one of my least favorite parts of Glass is fixed!

The MyGlass app is downloadable for free on what ever Store your device uses (depending on Android or Apple) and, until recently, it has been a bear to use. It was a single screen you needed to continuously scroll down to get to your apps, settings, contact list etc. At first the simplicity was nice, but now their are more apps and more settings, it was time for a change.


The new look, all aspects of the app are organized on the side menu.

Above you can see the new look of the MyGlass app. its tough to see, but in the background on the main page it shows the device's location and ID, then the user must simply navigate to the left side menu in order  to see the rest of the goods.

These buckets are nice and very user friendly, but the best part is how easy it makes the Glassware to use:



Each app gets one line and its settings can be expanded by simply clicking the app, so simple, right? Before each app had a banner which stretched from one side of the screen to the other with logos and names in different fonts, colors, etc. It was... .... a challenge to use. So much easier now!

I'm going to go use this new interface and report back, oh look, another Glass update is going in, I wonder what this one will bring.
