My vote is Rubbish
Show More
Bits are better, bits are worse. Recommendation: No vote.
For what I use it for it is essentially not that much difference. Both sites are however unacceptably slow.
All the things i used the site for previously you now have to pay for going forward.
The layout and having to click much more now makes it a step backwards. Clearly designed for clueless mobile zombies.
Verdict: Pish

RUBBISH...done for their benefits...not ours...either down grade your subscription or use atr.
Rubbish is too good a word for it......................absolute garbage!
not an expert but i guess it's slow because when you try and load it says... waiting for.... and then lists about 6 sites 
It's poor. So slow to get through. Three clicks where before there was just one.
Rang them to cancel and was immediately offered 50% off for a few months. Could hear another agent in the background dealing with another cancellation.

Like a Cuban car - looks great but clunky and slow as F**k. Really annoyed with the RPs inability to engage with its base prior to this after years of being a customer ...
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click ..........
So slow ...........
Utter rubbish - all we want is a simple site (colours so distracting) on which we can study form .....
Expect a price increase!!!!!!!!!!!

It's now on a par with the "new and improved" Sporting Life website - i.e. a load of rubbish.
Sky Sports racecards are okay as a free alternative: -

It's much better than the Sporting Life site which is now worthless.
Rubbish, I have more tabs open to study the same form. Tabbing backwards and forwards a PIA.
Is it OK if I say I quite like it? 
Bit too much white space on the laptop screen....could've made the form lines a bit closer together to counter this but otherwise it's fine by me

I used to use At A Glance. That no longer works but is now Card with the settings set to Form. No-one at RP told me this, but I now have the same as before. The Analysis is a further click but I don't have to scroll down anymore. Sales often appears in More now. Basically for me it is the same as before.
Much prefer old site this one too much like hard work to where we wanted before in half time, but we are pissing in the wind
Assume they don't even look on here to see what there customers want think they know what is best for us
"Racing Post close up"..Rubbish.....Led early, went clear, made all, heavily eased,,the other runner Editors Whim could not overcome all the overweight the arrogant/ignorant jockey put up...!!
Rubbish and ran by someone who is in the books pockets, paper worse than ever as well.
I buy the sunday times and the racing post on a sunday. Both used to be £2.50. Post now £2.70 (2 price rises) and the Times still £2.50. Times is infinitely better value.
I trust the new site is a big improvement for tablet and phone users as it's been ruined for laptop and desktop users.
I complained as loudly as anyone when they changed the site years ago,but this time I have had only minor adjustment problems. The site seems a bit less sticky than it did,perhaps because fewer people are using it. I suspect it depends which features you relied on in the first place as to how it affects you.
It is taking time to get used to the new site and I still prefer the old one but the real issue for me is the functionality of both sites. Frozen screens, constant messages telling me the site is not responding etc. etc. If I had the same issues from other sites I would blame my internet connection but I don't. I pay for the RP site as I like to look at pedigrees, statistics, bloodstock pages and use my own ratings but my patience is running out.
They said that it was changed (in part at least) to make it easier for mobile and tablet users. I used it for the first time on my phone the other day (to check results/compare form of winners through the day etc while at Newbury races) and it was impossible and i had to go to sportinglife. It works ok on the tablet but opens everything on one page so i can't have multiple pages to look at to compare trainers jocks etc. It works fine on my main comp but now they have put virtually all the reports behind the paywall and in it's current state there isn't a hope in Hades of me paying for it. I suspect there will be lots of copy that is barely read by more than the proofreaders - if they still employ any!
If the improvements don't improve anything (and in some cases makes things a whole lot worse) then it is a worthless 'upgrade'.
