While I really appreciate the need for the upgraded gem habitats, I haven't actually used it since I only have 6 gem dragons. Perhaps by January
As such, I vote for the Retry Button and the ability to buy more habitats.
The changes to the Dragon Track are noteworthy as well, though in the end it seems to be more of a nerf. Definitely faster and smoother now that we don't have to spin the wheel.

I picked the retry button as well. I've been having trouble with the new gem collecting/gifting interface. I can collect one or two gems, then I crash. The same with gem gifting. It's more of a hassle now.

The retry button, love it. And the gem receiving window, no more "and others" which is a huge improvement which we have been asking since the beginning of DV.

The same thing happens to me. The only way I can collect the gifts is to do it one at a time. So I click, "Collect," close it, then re-open it and do it again. I have to do the same thing when I clear them. I'm sure it's a pretty common bug and that BFS is working on a fix. At least I hope...
Or... Collect a gem, wait 2 or three seconds, collect the next gem, repeat.
By far, the retry button. A distant second is the reworked filter buttons, especially adding it to the breeding stations. But even if they hadn't, the rework makes it much easier on the phone
The worst by far, but only because theY got the implementation wrong is the rejigged friends panel. The concept is great BUT Get the bugs out please!!!

I voted for the friend interface. I've had a beef with the friend interface since DV started, with the list being in no particular order. Looking back at how often and how well BFS has made improvements to the list, it is the most significantly improved feature, IMO.
Without a doubt the retry button. So useful, especially if you're in a place where your connection is really iffy! (Also, it seems really useful for the testers as well)
I've been swapping dragon pairs, so the retry button isn't a biggie for me yet.
My favourites so far are the gem habitat upgrades and the increased number of habitats, even though 50 gems is a bit steep a cost.
I also like the treasure chest for the race track reward, much faster than that wretched wheel, but don't like the lower prizes. It was the main way that I was levelling up my dragons and earning coins, as I have no Rainbow/DR coin factories yet. But soon, soooon....

Kindle park1: nearly all dragons are frolicking in their habitats! (A Thorny little problem to resolve...)
Smartphone park2: Geode, a dragon with rocks in! Still to breed 4 dragons...
Ah. I hadn't seen that. Not good, looks like I'll be re-jigging and swapping some small habitats for rainbows soon.
Yeah, it's kind of a downer! I'd be okay if they were each 50, but it bums me out that you'd have to spend 750 gems or so to get all 5 slots.
It's definitely for the hard core, and not a necessity, which is fair enough. I still have a spare regular habitat up my sleeve that I'm not sure what to do with.

I love this new update, just wish they would of added "speed ups" to this update, just like gizmonauts has haha. It would be nice to help others with tasks in their parks in conjunction with the normal gem gifting,.. would be so COOL haha.
I voted for the gifting list and the up of max habitats.
It was very unsatisfying to see the "and others" nearly every second day. Always somebody that you miss. And it was very sad to have the eighth island without more habitats ( or only two new habitats that we have been given with the up to level 45)
The retry button is ingenious too, but the other two points were more important to me. Now I can rename back my two Rust dragons which had gotten a "0" in front of their names in order to stand on top of the list.

I love the retry and the gifting list. But sadly, the new update bring misery for us, android user. I have to see the first level park and log in each time i play dv. If i am lucky, my park will load if i am not lucky, the game will crash. If not for my addiction to dragon breeding, i will leave dragonvale.

After using the new gifting and the retry on breeding and the sorting options, I have to say this update is pretty awesome and was very well thought out. Good job BFS!!! ;D
