iOS 7 ‘UX Critique’ 

Only 11 entries total, but I agree with every single criticism on this anonymous Tumblr pointing out iOS 7 design flaws. The first entry says it well:

In this iOS 7 screen “Edit” is a button. But “New List” is a label, and tapping it does not cause a new list to be created.

When content and chrome are rendered the same the program becomes hard to use. What is a button? What is just a label and is therefore not meaningful to press?

My thanks to Padded Spaces for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed to promote their clever device accessories.

Prop ’n Go is a comfortable stand for iPads and MacBooks with 14 easily adjustable angles. Wrapped in cozy memory foam, Prop ’n Go is perfect for keeping gadgets at just the right angle while lounging on the couch or laying in bed. Check out iBedside, too — an elegant bedside pouch for storing and charging your iPad and iPhone overnight.

Hint, hint: these things make for great gifts.
