You have to specify if you want observations near by or global observations in the explore filter

As @theresephillips said, you’ll have to choose to see Observations. It’s definitely one of the biggest points of confusion, we’re working a redesign.

I haven’t put the time in yet it probably deserves. The very big pictures under “Me” (which I do for example to see what I have collected on the current trip and which ones have been commented on, and how recently they were taken) is a negative. I can now only see 6 recent observations at a time rather than 11 and I miss the red comment that shows someone has added info.
You can switch between grid view and list view here:
And if you’re using Advanced Mode, you’ll see a lot of info in list view (which I like).

Or maybe just have it automatically use the one with the best accuracy?

I do like the list view more, so appreciate the pointer. It does still only give me 6 observations viewable at a time on my iPhone screen compared to 11 in Classic. I assume this is because it is providing 4 lines of information as opposed to 2 and the pictures are still quite a bit larger than in classic. But I’m looking at a list of pictures I took (and remember), so I don’t usually have to look back at the picture in detail. A very typical use case for me is to see how many of the observations I made have pulled in confirms/comments–particularly when it shows red to show I haven’t reviewed it yet.
I found a new use for New iNaturalist. It works pretty well just pointing my iPhone at my computer screen (and selectying Use iNaturalist’s AI Camera) when I am trying to get a second opinion when doing identifications.. In the past I was making screen prints of the section of interest and uploading to a separate instance of iNaturalist in my web browser–tedious. The “suggested” tab in the web version has never worked well for me.I’m still mostly using Classic in the field.
The CV suggestions/AI has become absolute hot garbage, so much worse than before, AND the feature where you can hold down on a taxon name on the info page to copy it is worse than before, because I don’t want to copy the words “Genus Gaesischia”, I want to copy “Gaesischia” and slap it into the search bar, AND I don’t get notifications for my own content anymore, AND the new grid format for the “Explore” page is horrendous, and didn’t need a single change from the old one. That’s all. There are good things, and those are nice, but the bad very much outweighs the good here.
