User interface is poorly thought out.

I never bought the NG Atlas previously because of the lack of detail at a world level (and Im not taking about street level detail).

With the redesigning of the app I thought Id give it a try as one reviewer stated so well, skip a cup of coffer and spend the $1.99.

The user interface is ridiculous and completely kills the usage of the app. I never would have dreamt that making a good world map and atlas would become Rocket Science"!

For example. Why is the map key, 1) buried several levels down in the menu? 2) and when displaying the map key you cannot interact with the map and it zooms the map all the way out!! Why is this proving so difficult for developers? Does anybody at NG actually use atlases?
