Since the rant floodgates have opened, I'd like to add my current "favorite": The complete mess that is navigational UI in iOS/iPadOS, especially regarding "go back". The App Store alone is a great show case. You have: * upper right "Done"(Image) * upper left "X", hidden (Fullscreen Video) * upper left small arrow or "<Name" (App Detail page not on Frontpage) * outside Panel (Only for Frontpage lists/articles, it uses a completely gratuitous modal - the surroundings become black and there's no state to speak of) * upper left arrow or Back inside Panel (App Detail page, which also opens inside the modal when coming from a list/article on Frontpage. careful not to tap outside, or the whole modal closes. I'm quite certain there's an entry in the Apple HIG to not use modals this way...) * and of course the tiny, almost shameful status bar back arrow when a tap opens another app (say, pdf or browser) (I somehow got the feeling I even missed one, ah yes - I think there was a modal you had to close with the x) C'mon Apple, get it together and implement a consistent navigation stack. We're in the Browser Age now. (And hey, you've already stopped being shy about borrowing from Android. So, go for it! Great Artists Steal! :) )
