I don’t like the new waiting animation. Could you make the option to turn it off in the settings menu maybe?
Hi guys, just a simple suggestion:
When you want to unblock you see the “take time to reflect” visual, but quite quickly this changes to a visual stating “almost there”. This last visual is quite motivating to wait because why not wait if you are almost there. Why not keep the “time to reflec” visual till you can unblock?

Hey @Peds,
Thanks for the feedback on our new waiting screens. I’ve passed these suggestions along to our engineers to consider as we continue to upgrade the app. Stay tuned!
All the best,
Team Opal

Dear Opal Team,
I really like your app. Even paid for the full version. But! the new design is totally not focusing on the goal of the app.

There is an animated loading bar, making me much more likely to wait for the time to pass by. Not the idea! I want to come to the conclusion I don’t want to snooze. In this way though, I get a visual incentive to wait.

Following on that. After some messages in the same loading screen it shows “Almost there”. Again, something to keep me there. I don’t get it.
In my opinion I really liked the old design. Just seconds passing by, nothing to look at. Much more in favor of the use case.
Please! make it possible, to individually set the block screen. Smth like a old design / new design switch.
I would be super happy, if you make this possible. Otherwise I am not sure if I am willing to pay for another year 
Thank you so much in advance for reading so far.
Kind regards
Soeren
Hey @Peds,
Thanks for the feedback on our waiting rooms. I’ve escalated this to our engineers to consider, as we’ve been receiving more requests to do just this. Thanks for your patience, and stay tuned!
All the best,
