Never did hate the older version. The newer version is bigger and better than ever. More easy to load pics as well. Just took a few days to get used to the lay out. Kinda like riding a new horse or car, you get used to it pretty soon.
There is nothing to hate even more now

Have liked Astromart for a long time. The new look is attractive, but I have found a couple of problems that are, for me, big steps backwards: (I primarily use an iPad to view)
1- prices are no longer shown, which means it requires opening each individual item, then scrolling down to see the price, just to find out if it is even of interest. Hopefully this can be restored. (A thought: Since text can be wrapped, narrowing the title column could still keep rows the same height, since the photo column could still be the same height.)
2- On the old version, the photos could be enlarged using finger motions. On the new, they can't, and the enlargement, which again requires an additional step to open, isn't always large enough. I also can only access one photo per item..
Hope these can be addressed.
Thanks!

Thank you! I will go customize!
On the second item; I did figure out how to get the additional photographs, and the enlargement isn't so far off. But sometimes it is really helpful to really enlarge a photo to see the condition of the item. So far I haven't figured that out but will let you know if I do. The photos are really dark now for some reason.
