Gripes about UI/UX of Android phones/tablets and so called "openness" that is nonsense to consumers.

If you also have an Android phone, you are welcome to email me your gripes as well. If you don't but you want to buy one, read this blog before you do it. :-)

    An Android designer: great useful apps with hideous UIs or icons... →

    AbsoluteDesignz, a developer/designer on Android:

    I love Android…however, one thing I do hate, is that a LOT of Devs seem to lack any sense of style and design in the market…(also if u look at the Post ur Screens thread you see this horrible sense of design permeates throughout the user-base as well)

    It’s great that some Android developers/designers also realize this. He/she also listed many examples. I agree with most of them. But I don’t think DroCap 2 is a “great” app. It is a “useful” app, since I have to use it to take screenshots and put on Android Gripes. Android system doesn’t allow users to take screenshots, maybe because it is afraid of something?

    I admire AbsoluteDesignz that he/she tried this hard to advocate beautiful design in the Android community. This thread at the end lists several designers who are willing to help. So if you make an Android app but feel short on design, please contact them.

    Hats off to designers.
