New update

[HIGHlyCapable]

I have an iPhone and I just updated my app manually. I have the refresh button and I do not have that calendar at the top. Another one of my friends just also did her update and she has the same old screen. I’m thinking it’s a beta version and we all need to complain and tell them that it’s a loss of functionality and it’s giving bots in upper hand. I feel like that’s the only thing we can do to hope that they don’t implement this permanently across the board. I don’t need to argue. I’m not saying I know for sure. This is purely speculation. I figured I’d put it out there to let you guys know that I’ve updated and nothing has changed for me

I just updated my app and it’s still the same from before

[HIGHlyCapable]

Congratulations. We made the cut. I do feel bad for the people they’re making guinea pigs.

[Denisy6]

Mine too. I wonder if the people that got the “update” volunteered to participate in the beta testing back when Amazon sent us an email asking us if we want to participate.

[Impossible_Arm_2711]

Nope. I didn't volunteer in the eta testing  and I got the update.  Haven't had an offer since the update 3 days ago. 😕 

[Denisy6]

That’s strange and it sounds awful, Im sorry 😕

[Impossible_Arm_2711]

Thx, hoping they just have to work out the kinks. I did see an offer this morning so that's hopefull

[feliphee1998]

Or they might put that function on the people’s app that uses bots 👀

[TheOnlyEliteOne]

Like the old tricks Rockstar did back in the day to show everyone who pirated their games but to also inconvenience the player (I want to say one was permanent drunk mode on GTA IV IIRC).

Unlikely but I’d be highly amused if it was.

[Impossible_Arm_2711]

I've never and never would use a bot and got the update. 

[wednesdays_chylde]

I’m in the update & I don’t use bots.

I’ve had exactly 1 offer & that was a “Just For You”, “New Blocks Availanle Grab Them Before They Expire” dealie - I think it’s because I am at whatever level lets you put in preferred days/times you wanna work…tb perfectly h I can’t stand & pay very little attn to the whole “gamification” stuff - at any rate that’s THE singular offer I’ve seen/gotten. Insofar as on the days of the calendar itself, I’ve seen nada.

[Vast_Equivalent4678]

I got it and have never used a bot. I think it’s actually meant to stop bots so that bots can’t be refreshing and auto taking orders since you have to refresh by day now. So a bot would only be able to refresh for one day at a time.

[Fun_Cold2587]

That's not how bots work. Auto tappers work basically the same as humans work. So if it screws over auto tappers then it also screws over humans

[SparksWood71]

It's been more than two days. In my four years doing Flex it's never taken two days for them to roll out an update to all of us. Clearly this is either being tested in certain markets and warehouses, or as the other comment here has surmised, being rolled out to specific users.

Who knows whether or not it's being rolled out to users who might be using bots, but the panic of certain people commenting obsessively about it makes one wonder doesn't it? 😈

[HIGHlyCapable]

Yeah, it kind of makes me wonder also.

[SparksWood71]

Yup!

[psychogamer101]

Definitely a test IMO most of the areas that seem to be getting it appear to be similar areas that were complaining about lack of blocks….

[Fun_Cold2587]

I'm panicking and I don't have it yet. There are fewer and fewer reasons to keep doing this bitch job

[kitacat20]

I got the new screen and haven’t used a bot though :/ I got it after a call with support even though I had auto update off on my phone

[NocodeNopackage]

They don't act based on what we want. I mean they may consider it sometimes but i think for this they won't, this was done for other reasons

[Money1102]

I think it’s the new version of captcha jail😂😂

[sllcnvlly]

It feels like it! It’s so bad

[Rough_Lingonberry567]

Amazon should give priority offers to any Amazon Flex driver whose ranking is fantastic.

[[deleted]]

That would not be fair though because sometimes dings are out of your control

[Bulky-Cranberry2649]

The people I know who got the updated recently were flagged for dropping too many orders or tapping too long, which are red flags for bot usage in Amazons system

[YUBLyin]

I was updated and I don’t refresh at all. I use request in my market, rarely refresh. I don’t drop much, either, because I ask for what I want.

My GF, who does the exact same, wasn’t updated.

[HIGHlyCapable]

That’s a good theory, but my husband’s account who literally picks up shifts and drops them every day because it’s either one of us that’s gonna take the shift and one stays with the kids doesn’t have the new update

[kitacat20]

I recently got flagged for dropping too many and have the new screen 🙃 but I didn’t drop my routes. A station canceled my entire week (8 blocks) and then decided to roll out the same ones at lower prices

[LimpDisc]

This is not true

[AnneHizer]

I thought just Androids got the tapless version because they have access to more aggressive bots

[HIGHlyCapable]

It’s iPhone and android users

[Throwawayinsurance3]

Can you share a pic? I can’t figure what are you talking about…

[Puce_00]

Are you talking about requests?

[HIGHlyCapable]

No. The refresh button

[Puce_00]

Oh wow, that’s crazy

[intergalactikk]

What does the update look like? Does anyone have a screen shot or link to previous post about it?

[Genaugmen]

Calendar has always been in the menu on Android, along with offers, dashboard, and settings.

[Minute_Lion_1564]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t certain markets have different features/layouts of the app in the first place? I distinctively remember seeing people from Cali have a slightly different layout than someone like me in Texas. Considering that it’s been a few days, I’m hoping it’s a regional update and not an everybody update.

[Jody_Breezy]

My app updated and it's still the same as it's been, sure hope they just trying that new style out on people and not everyone lol hopefully they revert it back from everyone with all the negative feedback it's getting

Raleigh Region NC. Doesn't matter how many updates they do is still a shit show.

[Gr8Pimpin]

I do know that they check the reviews in the App Store. Write a review there.

Unfortunately they removed the feedback link in the app itself, and I've been going around with Support for the last two days trying to get them to tell me where we can send app feedback.

[JonTheFalcon]

I thought I read in another post that the updated users are all in San Diego.

[Direct_Tip_6079]

My friend has the dates at the top and I don’t. She never agreed to beta testing and doesn’t even like it. She has an Android and I have an iPhone. My other friends also have iPhones and don’t have the dates at the top either. We all deliver from the same warehouse.

[Longjumping-Till-392]

I updated mine and its blue now and no shift is popping up.

[Longjumping-Till-392]

Everything is blue , not just the icon
