I haven't even yet updated my iPad, extra taps are everywhere, Mac and iPhone included 😅

Danijela Vrzan @danijelavrzan.com · 2d

Yeah definitely, visuals I can look past, but those three dots everywhere are annoying and having to wait for animation to complete to use something is not good design 😅

It's when these quirks are getting into the way of use that's annoying 😅

I am really annoyed with the new OS26 on all devices. Apart from wonky animations that are getting in the way and unnecessarily large buttons covering screen real estate, everything takes extra taps to open and it's not user friendly. That's my biggest issue.

Thank you O.J.S.! Happy to hear you like it! That's actually something I have planned to add! It's been on my list of features. There's so much I want to add and so little time 😅
Now that iOS26 update is released, I can finally focus on other features. I'll make sure to add it to my roadmap.
