I'm glad automatic GPS location works now but I think the new GUI is slower and clunkier than the old GUI. There used to be more categories right on the home screen before but now it's an extra tap to get to them. When I pick a category, the program seems slow and unresponsive. When I browse movies, the movies are not listed alphabetically and scrolling is choppy. Same thing with other categories. Basically this is a downgrade in every way. I'd rather type in a zip code or manually check GPS location in the old version than deal with this sluggishness. It's even slow to close the program.

The maps are better, but I already have Google Maps.

Yeah the scrolling is horrible and choppy....i don't see a way to change the home screen background either. The app was good before im not sure where they want to head with this but im glad it only a Beta

I downloaded and installed the new version that is said to be for 6.1 and 6.5 to my vogue. I think that Microsoft is being sneaky with this app. I think that they have included a script that runs intermitantly that checks to see what device the app is installed on. That way they can make this new version unusable on older devices like the vogue. I guess they are doing this to push people to get newer devices. I say this because I installed the app ok and opened it up several times trying different parts of the app and everything I tried worked. That is until after what seemed like various amounts of time, a popup would appear and say something like "It appears this application is not supported for your device, please install the Windows Mobile 6 version." The thing is, every time I opened the app everything I tried worked until this popup came up! I even opened up the map part and I got a gps lock in less than 5 seconds! I think they are screwing with us! I hope someone figures out how to get around this. BS!!
