Why on God’s green earth can I not have an #iPhone interface that works?
To say that Apple’s “gestures” suck is entirely too kind. They are a fundamentally broken idea anyway, but that gestures have regions and therefore that a gesture may mean any of three different things, makes my phone desperate–and I do mean desperate–to do anything other than what I’m telling it to do.
As an Android user who’s glad that iOS gestures have been “copied” on my Samsung phone, I respectfully disagree. Gestures seem to work relatively reliably and keep navigation muscle memory uniform between my iPad and phone.
Let’s not forget the fantastic bonus of having all that screen real estate not being taken up by software navigation buttons like on older android phones.
I pine for those buttons.
If you haven’t already I recommend one hand gesture plus. It’s replaced gestures for me, and something I wish was standard, since I can perform various navigations actions and shortcuts without having to reach down. Very helpful on large phones when one handing it.
