wish one day…. At least 1 or 2 times a year- someone would come in and move everything in their house!!!

socks, shoes, pots - pans, then they would have to contact the moving company to request where to locate them… & right when they get use to it! Bam!! They move it again-

Then they move all the buttons and controls in their vehicle and they gotta call somebody for that too.

when everyone has different programs (apps) they use…& they change those too.. it’s all unnecessary stress-

i have this app mainly for the games-(just 3-4 I play regularly)….so I can relax… if they keep stressing me out- I’m outa here and so are my payments too!  I’m with you.

I posted this is more than one spot- I wish all would get the message.

On the new page, click a game. 10x10 is on top for me. Next, instead of playing it, click the word Games under the red banner. 
Boom. Old screen format. 
😊

[WandaS273920]

Finally a shortcut that actually works! I was close to just deleting the app from my phone. 

[BonnieG540200]

Not sure why you changed this. I exclusively use an iPad and now half of everything is cut off 

[DavidH334337]

Generally I try to be positive.  However, the new Games page is really awful.  PLEASE abandon this “improvement” and return to the previous user friendly page.  I cannot find the games I am looking for.  It is not easy to navigate this new page.  I really enjoyed doing these games every day, but now that joy has disappeared in one poof.  😒

Hi @DavidH334337, just making sure you saw my post yesterday that helps explain how to navigate.

Hopefully that helps!

Scott,

thanks for the information.  Coming from my computer background adding two additional clicks is not user friendly.  Before it was you click on my games and it opened to the page of games. Whoever thought adding two more clicks to bury the main page, makes me think they did not use the page or have their customers in mind.

[Crochetgal]

I agree.  I liked having my "regular" games in an easy to find spot at the bottom.  Now I have to go hunting...not sure it's worth bothering!!!

[CharKlisares]

I second this!

[SusanG657885]

Not happy with the new format here and loss of Mahjongg Dimensions. I suppose the contract with Arkadium ran out. Wish you would bring it back. 

[JudithK846951]

Not happy with this new format. Lost my favorite marjong game. 

[sandy]

@SusanG657885 Navigating to our Mahjongg Games has not been lost.  To see all the Mahjongg Games, hover on the ‘Games’ link in the top navigation bar at the top of the page and click on the bubble labeled Mahjongg. Clicking "All" brings you to the All Games page, https://www.aarp.org/games/category/mahjongg/, where you can play all your favorite Mahjongg games.

Face it, you guys/gals just messed up.  I hate going thru hoops because it's fun for computer nerds.

[KarenE571433]

I agree Sandy, regarding new format.  I enjoy playing some of the games, however the new format is not user friendly!!!!!

[mk91715267]

The new format for games is helpful in this way: I’ve been trying to stop wasting so much time playing them, and this change will take my time spent on AARP games right down to zero. I’m not willing to invest time to learn to navigate the new system.

[wm8395]

You make a very good point, I agree with you wholeheartedly!

[CherylW887492]

 I agree 100%.  Time better spent elsewhere. I’m done with their games. 

[CherylW887492]

Awful. My games are gone. Nothing but ads that won’t close. Navigation is terrible. Why on earth did they

[l183414g]

Agree. Really difficult to find games that I play 

[DavidH334337]

New large font and larger icons mean I need to scroll a lot more than before.  Can I return to the old page format?  Much easier to navigate.

[ScottS9393]

THANK YOU

[wm8395]

Really poor experience, not even close to being responsive on my mobile device. 

[AARPMichaelP]

If navigating from the top menu you will see "Games" if you hover over that it will show each game category from there you can select which category of Games you would like to play. 

In addition, if you click on "Games" from the top menu. Categories are displayed throughout the page and for each category there is a "View All" button to the right of the category title for you to see all games for that individual category.

[dancingdoc]

Nonetheless, specific games are hard to find or have been ELIMINATED!  Why?? Please return to previous games. These are awful. Will enjoy games from other apps. 

[m432627p]

I certainly agree. I don't like the new format!

[wm8395]

Your suggestion presumes the user is on a desktop or large tablet, it doesn’t work on a phone.
