Huh??? What is up with this update??? All the functionality I used is gone or moved an I cand find it! What's with all those graphs taking up the whole opening page? Almost useless. Can't even find a help page to walk me through changes and find what I need.

Nice Needed Updates Updates to the UI are pretty good; Additional features are good, haven't tried the time based triggers yet. Notification icons are not visible in 4.0, perhaps in 2.3+ as well. (Black on Black)

Update: broke Honestly, before the recent update, this was a must-have app. Now, with my G2, the profile switching triggers simply don't do anything. I have to select the profile, lock my phone and unlock it and then the profile will be active. Not acceptable.
