A few words about the n̶e̶w̶ AliExpress site overhaul, and more :-/

I”d just gotten comfortable using their iPhone app, and they went and improved it to where I can’t use it any more.
(My old iPhone tops out at iOS 7, and when I open the Ali app it insists I must upgrade to the new app requiring iOS 8. Can’t continue shopping using the old version.)

And no, there apparently is no way to let these netwits know they’ve screwed up and lost a passel of customers, no workable contact information option, just default options none of which apply.

There are a LOT of websites that nowadays just flat out don’t work at all with even slightly older versions of browsers. Vipon is one (“filling in” deals just keeps pinwheeling), AX is another (dark frame, but zero content), and so on.

They wanna lose customers, hey, let ’em.

When searching in AliExpress, a “Did you find what you were looking for?” section appears at the bottom of the screen. There you can select from a set of pre-defined reasons, and or submit an up to 200 character fragment of text (I've seen worse). A few hours ago I submitted the following there:

Your last website renewal is AWFUL, TERRIBLE!!!

(please, someone add an option to disable link auto-parsing :-| to this forum)

Hank, my advice is to use the browser. Tried the application on Android a few years ago too, and NO…

Old versions of browsers, Lightbringer? How old is old nowadays?

With regards to the let them lose customers philosophy it may be the less bother causing solution, but if you can't find something constructive to do for at least hit 'em hard with a hammer.

How about setting off a banger like this one under their @%$€$:

Cheers

Hi Barkuti, could you do me a favor and just put the link to the pictures that have explicit language? Thanks!

Well, you could just order from another site (ebay for instance), they usually have the same products, prices are not very different in general (and they are often the same sellers)

I don’t think they are going to modify their site just for the 0.05% of users complaining

You can leave the steamroller roll flat over you, or do something. I prefer the latter.

It seems they were not content enough already, now they have to pester with the @#$%ing stupid bot. It was well laid at the right border without being intrusive, but shite happened.

Had to do something. When you click/tap on Help -> Customer Service on the main page, you are taken to this page where you will find a place to leave feedback at the bottom in a Suggestion button:
