because it's more flexible and user friendly than the old one.
Why didn't the programers maintain the same layout as the classic version 4?
sure, why did i bother rewriting the whole application from scratch if the old version was so good...
It will take considerable time to understand the lay out, and navigate in the program: from a marketing stand point this is not good.
i think that first-time users will find the new user interface more accessible and easier to learn.
Most people that buy lottery software are not university graduates, who can handle complex filters etc.
You need more automation to make it easy for people who are too busy, or who cannot read and completely understand graphs etc.
expert lotto is not for most people. most people look for a simple 'point and click' application to give them some sort of 'smart' quick picks. expert lotto is not such an application.
That said I find your help section not too help full in understanding the functions of the program, you need a help section that goes step by step and assumes nothing.
Then again who do you plan on marketing the software to? What classes of people?
If its the mass market, then you need more automation to make the program simple to understand and use.
you're the first one complaining about this. considering how many other expert lotto users there are, i think i've done my job pretty well when redesigning expert lotto 5:)
