Exact same issue for me. Had to login again this morning and fix widget AGAIN. No idea why.
This release has made things worse. Keeps logging me out, I also canāt get into hub utilities from my locations to do a zwave exclude. Anyone else have this issue?

Just have the layout optimized for the larger screens.
This is really confusing ā I can understand doing this if there is just one location, but I manage two locations with more on the way. When using the same naming convention for my devices (MB = Master Bedroom, KT = Kitchen, etc) this presents needless cognitive overhead to suss out what Iām looking at exactly.
Plus. One location isnāt even a home.

Yes - I had exclude issues today as wellā¦and now have website log in issues.
Please make your priority:
- iOS landscape mode
- Windows 10 Universal App
Thank you!

For me looking to fit more things on a single screen and better control of how they are displayed.
Landscape support. Hate having to be forced to rotate the device or read things sideways.

āMy Homeā is just a waste of a text location as it cannot convey any information now. Using the location name was useful - this is a downgrade. Especially when someone is having to move everything individually and manually from a v1 hub to a v2 oneā¦ Adding insult to injury.
- if Iād wanted it to say āMy Homeā I would have made that the location name.
- How could this loss of functionality get prioritized above other items heavily requested? Even if it was a good idea.
By the way, it seems that manual location changing is now a bit unreliable, too. It doesnāt always switch locations when you pick it. You have to wait and see room order or devices change to know it switched - just to add a cherry on top.

If I recall correctly they made this change to āMy Homeā in the last Android release and it got so many complaints there too. It replaced a label with a waste of space. 
This is indeed a downgrade. @slagle, @jody.albritton. Why in the world? You had a cool thing, now you blew it off. You can still use the little āMy Homeā label on the bottom to label the icon, but why blow off the location name above? Consistency to avoid confusion? Just means youāre doing a least-common-denominator design, which is never good.

Try smart tiles. ST quit caring about their users the day those fat Samsung checks cleared the bank.
Smart tiles is the only reason I havenāt tossed my hub in the trash. It works well in landscape and you can chose what to display and in what order so you can custom fit it to whatever device youāll be using it with.

Sorry buddy, this is applegeist. Us Androids have been dealing with googlegeist for a while. Welcome to ST one step forward two steps backwards. I cannot believe youāre not used to it by nowā¦

Agreed. A location could be
My home
My parentsā home
My office
A barn
A vacation home
A rental property (or one of several)
The 3rd floor of a large brick house
A school
An Air BnB suite within my home
Etc
Labeling all of these āMy Homeā is unnecessarily confusing.

Looks like this update also gifted me with having to login several times a day with having to reconfig the widget/watch each time.
Can we quote you on our website? 
Weāve actually heard this sentiment from many users, and I, for one, am not hesitant to appreciate and share that praise. @625alex didnāt predict that his alternative client for basic control of SmartThings would earn this ongoing respect. SmartThingsās priorities for their native mobile App(s) are outside of our control ā which emphasizes the value of SmartThings as a āplatformā for developers to address concerns from different perspectives.

Feel free to quote me.
If thereās a place to leave a review Iād be happy to do that as well. I am currently running three different setups. One for my phone. One for my work phone which has a much smaller screen, and one for my laptop which shows everything.
Iāve not had a single glitch.

As usual I havenāt seen a single release to date without a regression bug where an existing functionality doesnāt break. Almost makes me wish ST would stop updating itās apps.
- multiAttribute tile rooms now throw an error while trying to load
- SmartDevice preferences bool and integer input still broken
Stay tuned for moreā¦

Same experience with the iOS app. Need to log in and turn on widgets after updating the app.
