Thanks to others here I've become aware that I can, in fact, create a link to replace my previous one, in which I just look for items that I've bought but not downloaded yet. Remains to be seen if ancillary releases, like "extended extras" off the main range, other perks like Subscriber Short Trips will show up like they used to, but for now I've been able to re-create the link that I've used for BF ever since they axed their Forums.
Above, a menttion of "refreshing" ones downloads, I remember that existing before... I know I clicked on it a handful of times over the years (not expecting any result, but then again, you never know if some rare bonus content might have popped up)

I decided to give it a few days break before I looked. Speaking as someone who's been elbow-deep in website design, the initial week can be, erm...
Yeah. Yeah, sometimes it can get rather interesting... I'm enjoying a lot of the changes, so far though. My favourite's got to be the dropdown menus with the old panel-style page behind each main link. The "What's New" page is nicely prominent and the green "You've Got This!" badges on purchased releases have the nice tickle of a Kroton teaching machine.
The price on the website for Australian purchasers is before the 10% levy (natch), just bear in mind. Nothing too excruciating for a $30ish purchase, it was an additional $2.00 on top of that, which is acceptable. Unfortunately, I've noticed another bug. Not to do with purchases, though. The Sixth Doctor Collection has somehow managed to acquire Dark Shadows: Beyond the Grave in its retinue. Looks to have been one-way, none of the Dark Shadows ranges look to have picked up a Sixth Doctor story (the marvellous House by the Sea and The Blind Painter, notwithstanding).

I really hope they bring back the collected doctor ranges in the app, I never used them on the site, but goodness they were a lifesaver on the app.
Also, and bring the master collection to the app. Or alternatively in the filter, give it a drop down menu that sorts by monster.

Oh yes, please! To both.

Yeah, I'd also like to see the option to filter by monster at some point in the future. The keyword system is marvellous, though. Click on Sophie Aldred's name for The Harvest's cast and you get... Good heavens, almost ninety releases. Seventy of which are Ace. I'm deeply impressed, she must know that character back-to-front by now.
Anyway, it's possible to divide the contributor's bibliography by character. Dan Starkey's page, for instance, has the option to search up "The Sontarans" as a keyword. If the app now works the same way, that could be a partial workaround in the meantime.

I find it faintly ridiculous that the "what's new" page doesn't show what has and hasn't been released yet this month.

I like the recommend tool where you can flag up releases you enjoyed to new listeners. Heh heh, think I'll vote on Necroma....DAMM! Someones beaten me to it! (Indignantly) "This is a terrible abuse of the voting feature! How can people rely on recommendations when others spoil things for everybody?"

"Unlocking" the freebies is a lot easier than going through the whole basket-and-'buy' business.

And the releases are now listed according to release order, so that's something.

I'm so glad you can search by writer now. That may be my favorite feature of the new design.

As others have commented, I wish the cheery green 'You've Got This' spot would also appear on pre-ordered releases on the 'What's New' pages when you're logged in, that's my main entry point for pre-orders.
