user experience

I get the value of asking the user for some permissions, but MacOS has gone insane. It's not only constantly asking for permission to do things, the system isn't even that good at making it easy to deal with it. Applications constantly have to explain to users how to enable their permissions...

In the recent years it feels like Apple just gave up trying to do a good UI, it starts from the new horrible System Preferences in Ventura, but also from so many inconsistencies in the UI, some of them are cosmetics, but some actually slow down my work :( Would love to see if you've encountered...

Been using Mac for around 5 years now as my sole work/home environment coming from a long Unix/Linux professional career. Almost never a Windows user if not a looooong time ago. Most of the time I spend coding with my IDE (Visual Studio Code) in full screen and also usually the browser and...

Now, don’t get me wrong, FaceTime has definitely been adding features over the years that are most welcome…. But at what cost? I have been an iPhone owner since the 5C, and I feel like I’m choosing regular phone calls over FaceTime these days because the number of issues I encounter most times...

I bought my Powerbeats Pro in July 2019 because my ears are incompatible to the AirPods and the AirPods Pro did not exist back then. Now a little over two years later, the batteries of my Powerbeats Pro are nearly dead. The left piece lasts for 25 minutes and the right piece for a little bit...

Are these affecting anyone else? 1. If I tap the "Pay Early" button and then tap on "Show Keypad", the payment circle moves to the top of the screen and inside the circle, the text reads "NO INTEREST CHARGES", but it's awkwardly placed as it overlaps the circle. 2. There's no way to hide the...

I've noticed a significant jump in network speeds from my iPhone 7 to the X. Just curious what others are seeing and with what carrier? Mine is with Sprint.

How it’s works ? Sometimes it expands from icon, sometimes it’s slide from left to right. This behavior is so confuse. Added videos Slide from left to right https://streamable.com/7s72y Expand https://streamable.com/i69e5

Pardon this rant but...... As of last week, I moved (not by choice) from an iPhone 6, running "8.2.something" to new shiny 6sPlus running 10.3.1. And… what an eye opener that was. 6’1” 210 lb guys shouldn’t cry, but sometimes it’s just that bad. I feel like I now need to run out and buy a shiny...

When iOS 7 first landed, I nearly blew a head gasket. I do UX design for a living, and many aspects of the new flat design language (at least Apple's take on it) just rubbed me the wrong way. I think they got some things right and (in my option) other things pretty wrong. This point is basically...

I'm currently writing an app and I'd like someone's opinion on my current design choices. Any feedback can be publicly posted here but I'd feel more comfortable sharing my designs privately as I am writing this app on my own. I've never written an app to be submitted for the App Store before...

Hi everyone, Would love to hear your best keyboard for iOS at the moment and why!! :)

Mac OS X including OS X and macOS excluding iOS GUI = graphical user interface UX = user experience human interface as in OS X Human Interface Guidelines … The question What design blunders have Mac users experienced recently? For starters An application that requires: Shift-click to...
