Anyone know how to get back to this look for the app...
So after the app update(when they broke the security portion, I started getting a Blue background view where the devices were split by how they were connected(2.4g/5g/wired) and had a Allow access slider next to each device. It showed every Online device PROPERLY and showed EVERY connected device, MATCHING the web page device list. So basically, it actually worked PROPERLY! See the blue screenshot below.
After the Security portion started working again, it went back to the old view(as seen in second screenshot) that is a complete HOT MESS, where not all connected devices even show and when they do, some show as offline, when they are obviously not.
Is the Blue screen one, what the new updated was supposed to look like? And to get the Security working right, did they just revert the app for now? I WANT that blue screen version, as it actually works properly.

What devices is this on?
Apple or Android or both?
I don't have armor however Device Manager on my iPhone is showing blue background, not white:See same on a android pad as well.
There was a similar discussion of recent changes on NH app in regards to background colors, could be following on Orbi as well:
So the blue screenshot is taken from my iPad and the white from my iPhone. The iPhone DID have the blue screen version when the Security Cloud issue was happening this morning.
However, when the security activated itself(I did a reset of my orbi 850 router this morning), the app went back to the white background screen.
I still have the Blue screen on my iPad because I haven't force closed it or touched the security portion since they fixed it.
I think this has to do with the Armor and Parental Controls they offer. While I am in a free trial of the Armor, I am not for Parental Controls.
FYI, this is on an RBK852 system.
Ok, I would presume that this will be a changed as mentioned in that link I posted. Based on if you have Armor or SPC enabled and the system is supporting of it, white background will be seen. Since I don't have either of these subscriptions currently, seems to point to this being what's happening.
