Fing App 9.0.2 breaks home Fingbox selection

Looks like this affects both the iPad and iPhone. In 9.0.2, if you select "My Fingboxes" on the main page, swipe left on a Fingbox and hit the "Home" button - nothing happens. It's now impossible to change the default home Fingbox shown at the top of the main page.

This did work in previous releases (since it was added) so I'm assuming that it was broken in 9.0.2. Same problem on both my iPhone 11 Pro and iPad Pro. The slider closes correctly (so it's registering the button hit) but nothing happens under the covers.

    Thanks for helping out @Marc @kltaylor
    To set a different Fingbox as Default, first, you need to uncheck the previous Fingbox from Default, and then once the Home icon is free then click on the other Fingbox who you want to make it default and it will work.
    Thanks

    Hi @smackie thanks for asking your question.
    I don't have an iOS device, so am going to ask @Marc if he has one to try and reproduce the issue for us.  We will let you know as soon as we find out more information on this.

    Regretfully I have but one Fingbox on line.  I did notice that when I did what @smackie suggested above, swipe then select the fingbox icon, it goes back or white to show selection.  I can bring my V1 back on line later on today if that helps.  Let me know...

    Okay. With respect, that’s terrible UI design. How the heck are you s’pposed to work out that you have to deselect the active home before selecting the new one? Rather than just setting it directly?

    I’ve obviously managed to set it now having gotten that clue but I’d never have guessed otherwise.
