Stephen FryInvolving myself in the sweat and infarction inducing horror of British Airways’ horrifically terrible mobile app has made we wonder why there is no equivalent of the #razzies for apps? My suggestion would be for an annual #Crappies Awards ceremony. Worst design. Worst UX. Greediest In-App Purchase Demands. Most Endless Ad-Loop (I’m looking at you, CandyCrush) Most Pointless Function. I’m sure between us, Mastopeeps, we can think of 10 or 15 categories.
ZhouYiDao@stephenfry I nominate the hideous intern-designed Amazon Prime streaming app on Android and Roku, and the Roku-crashing Netflix app.
Mirko Schenk@EasyWay @stephenfry I'd nominate all Amazon apps. They've all got terrible UX and are trying to sell me stuff I don't care for.
🦇 Jennie Rigg 🏳️🌈 (she/her)@Mort the one that particularly annoys me is this:
- open amazon shopping android app.
- big splash screen saying "sign up for prime! Get free postage!". This screen has no dismiss button, and declares that you cannot sign up for prime on mobile anyway.
- the only way to then get to the shopping app is to hit back.
- I already have prime.
