iSmart Update to 3.0

It seems that the latest V3.0.1 for Android has several advantages, such as having a refresh on the front page (top right), and showing the battery percentage, charging power, and time till target charge (time left as it is labelled) now all on the front page which is convenient.
However while charging on a Pod Point up to 7kW charger tonight I noticed the difference in how it now displays the charge.
So the app no longer shows when it has reached its target that it is equalising by displaying a low and variable charging current, and the finishing time showing the current time.
Those fields are now blank, ie charging power, time left on the front page and finishing time and charging power on the ev management page. This is while still saying charging on both pages and the 75 % to 100% green segment pulsing on the car.
Definitely retrograde compared to the earlier version that had these working correctly.

Mine does that quite often but if I then refresh the page it usually fills in the missing details.
 
I really HATE this iSmart app. Tried to use it this morning and it's decided that the token has expired and I need to log in again, it also wants me to rebind to the car. Who thought of this nonsense?
--edit--
Ok, the rebind demand was because it messed up the userid field and decided I was a new owner.
Once I worked out what it was looking for wrt a phone number and edited the mess it made I was able to log back in again. Do they not test these things?
Uf you don't like the app, you can use home assistant instead. With MQTT bridge, you basically have the same functionality as the stock app, but you can configure it how you like. And with custom cards, you can mimic the design of the original app (there seem to be some floating around this forum).
