What exactly makes you think that? And more importantly, if these were backed by real experimentation why don't they agree on their conclusions?
As stated the biggest problem is that they don't provide a consistent model for how developers should build their apps. And that shows, 3rd Party Android apps are far far less consistent than those on iOS.
- natrius 15y agoI'm not saying they attempted consistency then decided against it for usability reasons. I'm saying that inconsistent interfaces can still be usable. Third party apps on iOS are similarly inconsistent. The Facebook app works very differently from the Twitter app. I think that's okay.
