I have to say the graphical changes in the new version make the product look even worse than the previous. People may disagree with what I have to say, and although it may again seem extremely critical, it is because of I am a fan of how you can gone about this project, including how you handled with some pretty unnecessary comments from PT3 designers. If I didn't care, I simply wouldn't bother posting and go and buy PT3 instead.

I am sure you have done lots of work for the back end, and things appear to run smoothly, regarding imports. However, the front end stuff in my opinion is going downhill at every iteration, rapidly. This isn't just simply that I don't like the look of it, my issues are also with regards to functionality and useability. For instance:-

1) The addition of all the hands listed under the reports, why? when you have a hands tab. The old PT, with hands under the summary ordered by the two cards is fine, as you can quickly see how you played say A's etc. But simply the massive list of all the hands by number isn't anymore helpful than reviewing your play in the sessions and hands tabs.

2) You have added the small graph under the session tab, again it shows all the sessions. I can do that in the graphs tab. Why doesn't it simply show the graph of the selected session or sessions.

3) The hand replayer still in all honesty looks fairly amateur

4) Few options on the graphing tab, no where near the functionality currently available in PokerGrapher.

5) The filtering, the way in which you select between x and y date for instance. Why can't you have the x and y selected in the same panel?

I have been onboard since, the first release and those initial impressions were of a clean, clear and smooth looking UI. However, again in my humble opinion, the UI is really starting to look a horrible mismash and generally very unprofessional. Yes UI isn't the be all and end all, but your rival initial glimpses are smart enough but that first appearance of HM still looked far ahead. As an IT professional myself, I have got a fairly decent idea about UI etc, and I would be more than happy to discuss things if you so wish.
