Here's a strange one for any Android/Apple devs or tinkerers. Many years ago weightwatchers released a set of bathroom scales with an app. This app seems to have been abandoned, so does anyone know of an alternative app for said scales?

Sometimes I wonder if the goal of the DoorDash app is just to frustrate you so much that you give up and settle instead of actually finding what you want.

I don’t know if I can think of another app that is so horribly designed. It seems literally impossible to drill into a restaurant, decide you don’t want that, and pick up where you left off in you search/scrolling/etc.

The app has short-term memory loss and just resets completely when you back out 80% of the time.

Why is the DoorDash app so terrible? Why does clicking back throw away your search position as if the app can’t hold it all in memory?

Looking for something to get, drilling into a store, deciding you don’t want that, clicking back, and completely losing your place.

Frankly, it’s embarrassing.

Yksi raivostuttavimpia piirteitä nykypäivässä: joka ikinen helvetin palvelu haluaa asentaa oman appinsa puhelimeeni.

Viimeisimpänä on Klarna, joka ei suostunut suorittamaan verkkomaksua ilman appia muuten kuin kortilla. Mistä veto, että systeemiä hallitsee jokin kälyinen "AI", jonka koodissa on puolipiste väärässä kohden?

Ei, minä en halua puhelintani täyteen roska-appeja, jotka vain vakoilevat ja myyvät tietojani. En Klarnan, enkä muiden. Kiitos!

Oh dear. I've left a few of these but still have too many.
How reliable is the list?
