Snapchat. If I have 10-20% battery on my iPhone 6S, it’s a risky proposition to open Snapchat as it will kill the battery many times just by opening the app. It’s such an atrociously coded POS, and I say this as someone who spent a significant amount of time reverse engineering it. The performance of basic actions, like opening the app, is abysmal and unnecessarily resource intensive. It’s infuriating that a public company with a massive valuation cannot produce better engineered software than the Snapchat app. I also have trouble understanding the thought process behind their latest UI revamp, specifically merging stories and chats into the same screen. It’s so user hostile and was met with such hatred, I’m surprised they haven’t rolled it back. Fundamental UI changes to mature products are dangerous, and often the negative effects of the changes don’t manifest themselves for 6-12 months after introducing them, at which point it’s too late. FWIW I hardly ever use Snapchat now (less than once a day) though I never used it much anyway. It also seems like far fewer of my friends are posting stories on Snapchat, and far more are posting them on Instagram.
