Has changed its website, for the (much) worse. There goes my favourite leisure activity.

I know - accessing StreetView is now a bit of a pain compared to before. On my laptop it's still in the old format (yay!) but on my iPhone I've got the new website.

Why have they changed it to something clunkier and not as good? Confused

I thought it was a fault - that my laptop had somehow slipped into the mobile site format. I'm trying to move, but it has put me off searching with Rightmove

Yep, it is shit now. So un user friendly. If it ain't broke and all that........

BlueCowWonders · 21/10/2020 20:39

Agree ☹️
Now I find it really hard to see the floor plans properly.

nevertrustaherdofcows · 21/10/2020 20:46

To make more room for ads?

The floorplan used to be accessible directly under the room pics, so you could cross-check from one to the other. You could make that floorplan bigger , too.

Now the floorplan is unreadably small, even if click through to its own page; its a mess.

Urgh and the photos are now much smaller on mobile.

Plus property thumbnails are along the bottom instead of down the side of the screen in map view, which is No Good At All.

Their competitors must be ecstatic!

I find Zoopla much more user friendly anyway

And it’s harder to find sold prices etc, and what’s with the new section where you can write notes, for your own use, will anyone use that?

FAQs · 21/10/2020 23:14

Oh I was looking in the wrong place for sold prices I may have mown found it!

PickAChew · 21/10/2020 23:17

Looks no different to me. The floor plans have always been stupidly small on mobile. You've been able to scroll through photos without accessing listings for months, now, which I like.

diningroomfloorlady · 21/10/2020 23:18

I just use the app? That hasn't changed - it's great! Spend far too much time noseying

AgileMadness · 21/10/2020 23:25

Same here, I use the app and it's still the same, no changes there

Gemma2019 · 21/10/2020 23:34

I hate it when I try to click on the Rightmove photos for a property and it just opens the first photo Angry

CatAndHisKit · 21/10/2020 23:40

Don't like it either!

Why do they always have to 'improve' things?! Just leave alone.

Used to be easy to hover between map view and photos, it was a lateral experience, now it's one page at a time, lots of back button pressing.

Puffthemagicdragongoestobed · 22/10/2020 11:22

They have also made a right pigs ear of the schools tab. Now primary and secondary are mixed up, we couldn't find a way to separate them out! I mean, who thought this would be an improvement?

nevertrustaherdofcows · 26/10/2020 10:36

The floorplan can now be made larger - though only by clicking through to a new page - but that page is still so cluttered with banners, ads, etc that I can still only view one floor or even part of a floor at a time. Need constantly to move the image about
