If you download the Wombat app on Android or your upgrade to the latest version 1.10.0, you’ll notice a different design - this is the old one:

Vs the new, more modern design:

Some of you might wonder why this has changed. For us, it was a natural step towards our own vision of Wombat combined with insights on the actual app use.

The origin of Wombat, and the path ahead

We originally started Wombat as a solution to easily access Dapps on the EOS blockchain, and tens of thousands of users have been appreciating this a lot ever since we launched. Supporting all Dapps also meant we had no strong bias in terms of the look & feel of the Wombat app, which is why we designed it to be very neutral.

While we’re happy for each person using Wombat in any way they like to, we also realized that most Dapps people want to use on EOS are games, and that we want to provide the smoothest, native gaming EOS experience for players.

We chose a dark theme because we feel this appeals to gamers more than a light one. This is also why we gave it a slight Cypherpunk touch with neon colors, all the while keeping usability and acessibility questions in mind.

Of course, we're planning to adjust the design of the iOS app and the Chrome extension accordingly.

Now, this brings us to the future of Wombat. Without wanting to reveal too many details at this point, we’re happy to share that the new design that you’re experiencing is only the first small step of what we have planned for the future of Wombat. We really appreciate your feedback on the new design and hope you will enjoy the journey that is ahead of us and all our users.
