Why the iOS notifications are ruining my marriage
- cmsj 13y agoI don't like the idea of having the notifications be parented under the current app's toolbar (also what if it doesn't have a toolbar), but I do like the little bubble appearing and needing a slide to action, that looks cute.
- sagishrieber 13y agoThanks! Yeah, the bubble is the new concept, but of course the only thing that we can do now as UI/UX designers is make sure we have actionable buttons at the bottom of the screens wherever possible and needed :)
- albeec13 13y agoInteresting concept aside, if your wife gets that angry because you forget to respond to a non-critical text message, she really needs to relax.
- sagishrieber 13y agolol, my wife is amazing. I was just really exaggerating to make the point :)
- albeec13 13y agoHaha, ok good. Because I've been in relationships like that, and they never end well. I just didn't want to be the bearer of bad news :)
- mcv 13y agoShowing notification just in the top bar, and not sliding them over the screen, is much better. Open the notifications only when you're ready for them. That's not perfect either, though. All sorts of apps vomit their crap into that notification bar, cluttering it so I can't see the more interesting stuff anymore. Worse, on my HTC One at least, I can't manage my open notifications. I can't manually remove the crap without also removing the stuff I still need to respond to. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to be fired from a cannon.
- ja27 13y agoHow about iOS just not showing banner / alert notifications if the user is actively interacting with the UI? If the screen's been touched in the last 30 or 60 seconds, wait until they're idle before popping up unrelated toast like that. Same with waking up the phone.
- sagishrieber 13y agoIt should certainly be a feature :)
- mobiuscog 13y agoIf a tap on a notification dismissed it, and a long hold on the notification launched the app, none of this would be a problem.
- sagishrieber 13y agoI agree. It should have been something thought out from the get go of this feature on iOS. Now its too late because people are used to the behaviour of the banner notification as is.
- ttflee 13y agoI am designing an app that would potentially annoy the users from time to time(, the background Core Bluetooth). I am trying my best to fight against the desire of scheduling frequent local notifications. To tell the truth I was annoyed by my own app during the testing.
