For an organization dedicated to the older generation, I assume you have a bunch of 20 something designers and developers with no understanding of generational UI.  Horrible.

Well said! Coming from computer background…when I saw the new page, what you expressed was my immediate thought.  Taking a very simple page with a great a great drop down menu,  and burying it with additional clicks which serve no useful purpose. 
 Whoever created this new page did not have their customers in mind and did not use the page.

[SuzanneH822561]

This is awful!  I use the aarp app & play on an iPad mini. There is no hovering over anything. I find the crossword I usually play & it turns into a news page. I foresee an aarp app deletion coming soon 😒

[kd6374]

Where is sudoku and solitaire?

[jlbritton]

The games page is so unstable on my phone (Android S20FE), that graphics breakup and sections on the page are blocked - disappear. I can't play the games I am able to find. 

[6139sh]

This is terrible!  Whoever thought this up needs to re-do and go back to the way it was. By the time I find the puzzles I enjoy - I'm so frustrated I can no longer enjoy them!

“ if it ain’t broke, do not fix it!!”

[AntoinetteV]

Actually the Daily Crossword puzzle is broken and they have failed to fix it. However, they found a way to input more ads.

[bigera]

I do not care for the new format. It takes forever to find what I want.  Please put it back the way it was.

[B8Rice]

I agree! I can't even figure  out how to find the game listings! AARP, please take it back to the prior format!!!

[SheSpinz]

 I agree.  I was really irritated with the new format, then I thought it went back, now I realize it did not go back.  Do the people who created this mess try to use it???  It is horrible.

[B8Rice]

I'm in total agreement!

[PeggyG419870]

Don’t care for it!! Where is Classic Solitare? If it is not reinstated I will find it elsewhere! 

[PaulaL592656]

I feel the same way

[LisaA753570]

Don’t like this

[SilverRaven42]

To access the old format:  (I have an Iphone 13 and using aarp app)  From the main app page, click on bottom right tab 'My Account', scroll down to and click 'My Games', (the new crappy format appears), now scroll down to the first game you see and click on it.  This is where the old format will appear with the drop down menu starting with 'ALL' , (now click on 'ALL' and you'll have all the familiar choices again ALL... MAHJONGG... WORD & TRIVIA... ATARI® & RETRO... REWARDS... MEMBERS ONLY... STAYING SHARP)

[LisaA753570]

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

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

Then they move all the buttons and controls in your vehicle and you 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… keep stressing me out- I’m outa here and so are my payments.

[StacyL365401]

Exactly, I wish someone would come move all the things I procrastinate to get rid of. But I guess this will keep the mind occupied as well.

[cboulia]

Thank you for this tip!

[NancyN889990]

I do not like the new Game Center at all!!!!!!!!!👎

[marjorier631287]
