Bridge 2023 and 2024 is practically unusable

[NetPixel Studio]

Dear folks in the Bridge team! It's beyond understanding how you don't realize, these versions of Bridge are a big failure!? It's like an early beta version. But already 2 years in beta...

Compared to version 12, the newer versions have numerous bugs, the UI is almost non-responsive, etc. The overall feel of the software is like a bunch of libraries put together in a hurry, by a student.

Annoying things:

- The window often misses the clicks. Yes, clicking in the window, too often does nothing. Tested on multiple computers. (I have to connect this bug with the annoying sticky hand tool bug where the mouse button release is missed, making the hand tool and the lasso tool unusable in photoshop, and Lightroom Classic is affected as well with this sticky hand tool).

- Scrolling is painfully slow, to the point of unusable. I see, the scrollbars were reinvented, just to break the things, because there are absolutely no benefits having some super minimalist fancy scrollbars. Instead of fixing the bugs, the team was busy reinventing the wheel.

- Search is slow. I'm typing the file/folder name, then the window stays, doing nothing, then after some time passes it jumps to the target. But careful, because if something isn't focused well, search isn't working.

- ...

- Countless UI glitches, like awful blue focus outlines, bright white title bars of windows, forgotten menu separators, etc. Even amateur software writers care about these.

- Countless other issues, mentioned by other members in this forum.

I had to reinstall v12, that's the last usable version.

About refunds: due to a non-working software and broken features, do we have a refund?

Adobe Bridge has become impossible to use. I am looking for an alternative to use to sort through my images. Typical 1000's per day. Any suggestions?

I'm only getting empty words from them, they never answers any questions. Only giving newbie-tips. Use latest drivers and bla bla. Since they wont help me they are about to loose a long time user here and I'm also have begun looking for alternatives. Feel free to give tips on apps that have usable performance.

Thanks!

2025 is much better.

The 2024 version is also completely unusable. It constantly crashes, it's unbearably slow and the interface is from another age. And now I learn that Adobe fires its ambassadors if they dare to say bad things about one of their software (After effects)!!! Gentlemen of Abode I will tell you, you are losing the battle and your future is bad. Look, you lost Premiere Pro and After effects with this policy. People use DaVinci now.

it's 2025 and this product is still trash. Every day hiccups. Every day bugs. This is such a bloated and sloppy corporation. Adobe - keep an eye on what's happening to Tesla's stock prices right now.

I downloaded the beta version of Bridge and I am happy to confirm that the lists are scrolling with the expected speed and the overall UX is greatly improved. Thank you!
When will be this change available in the normal version?
