The FordPass layout is a messy mess. In this thread, I’d like to make some proposals to clean it up. NOT burn it down and start over, which @Ford Motor Company obviously isn’t going to do, but clean it up around the edges, organize it a bit better, etc.
They are obviously taking some of our suggestions - at least in a half-handed way - so let’s keep trying to nudge them in the right direction.
I’ll start. I honestly don’t care about most of the guts of the app - I just want to be able to access all key functionality either on the home page or one tap away, without scrolling. Here’s how to do that….
Alright, so here’s the home page in two screen shots because dumb scrolling. Starting from the top….
Here is the stuff from the vehicle tab that is useful enough that it would be nice to reach with one tap from the Home Screen:
Shrink down the Locate Charger Button and add buttons for Departure Settings and Charge Settings in that row.
Ok… I think that’s all I would do with the home page.
Thoughts? What else would you do, on the home page or elsewhere?

- Get rid of the new “shrink / expand” button for the car picture and just go with the new smaller view. Really guys? I’m trying to envision how this conversation went down. “Gee - they kinda have a point that the bigass car picture is wasting a lot of space and it’s totally pointless…. But hold on - what if there are people who like the bigass car picture that wastes a bunch of space and is totally pointless? I’ve got it! Let’s add another freaking button to allow people to toggle between the bigass car picture that’s totally useless and the much smaller but still totally useless car picture!”
- The My News tiles and Actual Range disclaimer are totally useless on the home page. Get rid of them.
