Why does this app suck so bad?

The more I use this app the more I hate it. Why can’t I see the distance between chargers? I don’t GAF about my charge percent. I want to see the mile range and I can figure it out. You already f’ed me on this trip because I trusted your recommended chargers and percentages rather than just showing miles. I am in a constant state of having no clue where I am on the map. Zooming out is useless because before I can focus on the route it zooms back in. I hate everything about how this app works! I keep beating a dead horse but why TF can’t you just copy Tesla. Manu road trips in my Model 3 and never worried about a thing. 1 Road trip not in a Tesla and I was nearly stranded, and constantly worrying about range and never knowing where I am on the map. Seriously your product is hot garbage.

Advanced Charger Filters of Premium function don't act as I expected

I have purchased a premium account specifically because I travel with a trailer quite often. What do I need for longer trailer route planning? Specifically three things: Being able to strictly choose routes where I dont have to disconnect the trailer to charge. The best option is a drive through charger, like Fastned has most of the time. However, if i configure a trailer option to my car nothing really happens in the planning. The alternative is then to a) select preffered networks manually. However, this is not a strict selection: often you still get other networks. I would like to be able to select one network as a must go! b) use the option “trailer friendly”. I would expect this option to be automatically selected when I configure a small trailer with my car. I dont this works this way, however. And - trailer friendly is a scale, not a YES/NO option. So I basically dont know for sure its a drive through. Others in this forum have suggested to create a boolean “drive through” which I really, really like. I would for sure have me not abandon the Premium function. Being able to schedule drive range more specifically to trailer circumstances. Nothing changes however, in the Kwh consumption index when I configure a trailer. And the range expected is still the same. For sure or hopefully this will change after some trailer drives due to the automated benchmarking, but still I would like to be able to get better predictions at the start already. I need to be able to be flexible in my planning - when i charge earlier or later than planned or charge more KwH’s than expected this needs to be change directly in my planning. I dont think this happens. And then last of all: I cannot show both my time / distance to the first charging stop as well as the time / distance to the final destination in my Apple Carplay screen. And thats very, very annoying. For all issues mentioned - I have seen other request which I have upvoted. So please consider this summary as input from a trailer driver who just needs a bit more functionality to stick with the premium version of ABRP.
