Hide AppBar option for full screen visibility. Currently screen is squashed with side bar. Should be hide-able to lockable on/off
Currently the side bar reduces full visibility significantly as in classic, which had excellent viability and a color contrast that was significantly easier on the eye.
Many may use the side bar, I do occasionally, but when not in use, I want it to hide (as is the case with many dock's/side bars).
Also full screen visibility with improved color contrast would enhance daily use significantly.

Surely, there is a setting to move over the side bar? I use it only for DD-book otherwise I want an entire screen. Where is the setting to move it out of the way or at least auto hide?

Hi Joshua
We aren't ignoring you and have previously acknowledged your feedback.
We've called your pharmacy today and confirmed that the AppBar is using about 15% of the screen space to the right hand side i.e. there is screen visible.
Keen to get feedback from other users -

Why is this being ignored, I cant use this product with no screen visible. I will go back to FRED classic if ignored. I do not require price comparison, I use medication resources in chrome. No program on the planet has a fixed bar with useless information that cant be hidden. FRED NEXT IS THE MOST CLUNKY UGLY DOWNGRADE EVER

Yes please!
Side bar takes up wayyy too much space and significantly reduces efficiency and visibility of other more important features - which are proportionally much smaller!!

Hi Anthony, thank you for the response. I do not believe that is accurate. The majority do not use it regularly. And any way you look at it, the visiblity is significantly reduced. There isnt a program I know off that forces significant screen real estate to reduce visible usability and visability without at least the option of hiding what I simply do not use ever. It looks busy and terrible. This is not in keeping with FRED classic at all. I realise this is based on popularity, however please understand if not actioned I insist on returning to FRED classic

Hi Joshua
Thank you for your feedback. For many pharmacies the AppBar is an important part of their core dispensing workflow so the 'entire screen' is already being used. We do value your feedback and will consider the optional ability to hide the AppBar in the future -

Side bar has significant information that is not required. Visbibility is significantly reduced compared to FRED classic. Should be able to hide side bar completely. FRED classic was clean, simple and aided in fast dispensing. Please do not ignore this. I HATE FRED DISPENSE PLUS and want to go back to FRED CLASSIC. How can you not see that using the entire screen makes much more sense. HIDE SIDE BAR IMMEDIATELY

This is a great idea. The screen is too busy already!

It would be great if we could hide/minimize the active tiles to the right of Dispense screen
