here's the thing though, If google would have released an UI as bad as this (just my oppinion as an iphone user) all the tech press and the hardcore apple fanboys would have trashed it online and offline for months. Who will be the role model from now on for "near perfection", "attention to detail"? Just look at this: http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/hon.jpg?... and tell me how you feel about it :)
This reminds me of US political fanboys - "well if GWB had done this", "well if Obama had done that".
I don't care what fanboys say or do online, on any side. I'm here to build good software. If someone has some constructive criticism, let me know.

#53The "no return key in the twitter compose view" is intentional. That is a keyboard style option, and Twitter it using it to discourage users entering return characters in tweets. This is not even Apple's app.
A lot of these "sloppy UI" examples are in non-Apple apps, intentional, or otherwise misleading from the screenshot.

#54This is quite bad -- only a small percentage are genuine examples of sloppu UI. It seems to be put together by one guy (instead of user submissions like similar sites) and not quite design savvy at that. Case in point: 1) http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61441688489 (this is supposed to show "poor alignment") 2) http://sloppyui.tumblr.com/image/61439801745 (this is supposed to show "stray dropshadows" -- didn't they…
I agree that not all examples are good, but how can you defend the blue text/red caret? There are also quite a few genuine design errors (Z index of updates available, alignment in the timer, ...) on the site.
>how can you defend the blue text/red caret?
Great contrast?
Nice bold color pair?
Not losing the caret because it looks like I or 1 or l?

Newlines are supported on twitter in 3rd party apps, but not in the twitter card nor twitter app indeed.
Also, the blog is not called "Apple Sloppy UIs", but "Sloppy UIs". That still qualifies.

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
My point exactly. We love all things Apple, and I want to see those fixed.
I've only been running iOS since it GM'ed ( which wasn't too long ago) but havn't seen some of the stuff shown there. iMessages certainly do that on my 4S. The notification badge on the Applications icon is always on top. I run into the battery low notification every day and it hasn't yet disagreed between values shown at the status versus the 20% and 10% thresholds you get these alerts from. Are these possibly from…
This is GM

Google HAS produced a UI as bad as this. Actually worse. The Android UI, up until 4 was amateur hour. And still is not up there yet.
It's just held in much less scrutiny compared to Apple, because nobody expects much better.

The only one you listed that I agree with is stray dropshadows. Everything else is lambastable -- most especially the poor contrast one.
Re: Sloppy UI – A collection of sloppy iOS7 UIs
#59Isn't Apple hiring the best/smartest/creative developers? How are these small/annoying issues are passing the test cases? Don't they have the same development cycle as they had while developing the first Iphone which was a huge thing at the time.
>How are these small/annoying issues are passing the test cases?
Most of those are neither sloppy nor issues. The blog does a bad job of mixing a few real issues with a lot of stuff he just doesn't like personally.
Re: Sloppy UI – A collection of sloppy iOS7 UIs
#60Most of these are pretty good points, some are just taste differences. In a different world, if these things were fixed, they'd belong on a "Subtle UI Greatness" tumblr.
