We've all got different preferences. Although I was initially bothered by the new homescreen, I made my peace with it. Doesn't bother me at all anymore now that I've figured out how to keep unsolicited recommendations from appearing on it. However, it seems to bother a significant number of other people for a variety of reasons.

I can quite understand how such a pop up feature might be annoying to some people if it constantly popped up and demanded attention. I can also see how the feature might be appealing to others.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a box one could check that said something to the effect of, "Do not show this message again"?

Enough other apps seems to employ just such an option that methinks it wouldn't be too challenging to implement. And then everyone could be satisfied with the same software rather than assuming a one size fits all approach.
The thing is, the way it was said, it was aaid like it's a glitch in the new firmware and it could put off some from installing the new firmware. So I'm saying it in a way that will reverse what was said so other can give the new firmware a try,
