Please sort out these IOS and IPad updates that actually make the app worse for the user.

I just started with workflowy a few weeks ago, I use mostly on both IPad OS and IPhone IOS and the recent update is really taking this app in the wrong direction and is very clearly not through through at all. The expand / collapse graphics are unreadable to me too and I don’t need glasses. The quick add function (with the round circle with cross in it) at the bottom right of the screen has been removed, so now I have to scroll all the way down the home screen to find something at the bottom left side just to add/input a new line of text. Pointless and disappointing that changes like this are even taking place as they are obviously not well thought through and this does not inspire confidence if your updates make the app worse. Sorry to be so scathing, but I was just about to subscribe but I will refrain until or unless you can correct these silly errors. 

Bring back the quick add function on the right, who on earth wants to scroll down their home page to find an input graphic on the bottom left! And please bring back the old + or minus graphic as the new triangle shape  is so difficult to even see, never mind which it is pointing to, and makes life more confusing for the user.

  Agree. Also it’s now impossible to edit at the beginning of the entry; instead, it brings out the menu. So you have to delete and retype the entire first one of the line, just to get the first letter capitalized.

  I also cant distinguish between opened and collapsed item when looking at triangles on my mobile.

  I do agree with Mr M Ignac. These little triangles are terrible on both iOS and Android; my miss rate is 100%, I mean, I always tap on the wrong triangle when trying to expand or collapse a section.

  The problem is that it is not fixable since addition of big plus button as it would "confuse new users". Nobody asked if big add button was good idea in the first place and adding items on top of current document is a valid use case. Adding on top vs bottom is probably 1:5 ratio in my notes. But having to think where the new bullet will appear is just slowing me down so i never use it. Also it's jarring as it clearly comes from Android and Material UI making less sense on iOS.
