How incompetent does a company have to be that its product registration site will not recognise its own model numbers, as printed on its own product labelling and packaging?!
🙄🤦‍♂️

Aus familiären Gründen nutze ich seit Jahren zum ersten Mal wieder die Instagram App. Die Usability ist ja unterirdisch! Klar, gewollt, aber wie hält man das auf Dauer aus? Noch nicht einmal die Lautstärke kann man vernünftig regulieren!

The update to the Search bar widget on Android phones. As usual, there's the 'G' button on the left, and a buttons on the right to use the microphone or camera for verbal or photographic entry of a search term. The sparkly magnifying-glass button has been moved from the right side to being on third the way in from the right edge, where there's an awful chance you'll tap it accidentally when you mean to tap in the text entry field.

Previous version of the Search Bar. On the left side of the field is the multicoloured 'G' Google logo. On the right side of the field are the usual buttons for microphone (to begin verbal entry for a search) and a camera (to begin visual entry for a search). A few pixels to the right of the bar, and encapsulated in the same border as the bar is a button with a sparkly magnifying glass icon. This new button is located where the other buttons used to be, and it's easy to press by accident with the base of your thumb while holding your phone and tapping anywhere else on the screen. This launches an annoying "AI" feature, there seems to be no way to make it go away, and it appears the choice of location is a Deceptive Design.

Android UI Deceptive Design Pattern Department: A few weeks ago, we crammed an AI button into the Search bar widget. But, nobody used it, even when we tricked people into tapping the button accidentally if the corner of their phone pressed on the base of their […]

Shoutout to the dev team for the “Infinite Loop” feature. It’s a bold move to save customers money by making the checkout process physically impossible. My bank account thanks you for your architectural oversight. 🌀💰 #SavingMoney #UXFail

Grok Imagine Video Generator feels more like a trap than a tool: auto-generates before you type, burns limited slots, shifts the prompt box 3 times, and even drops a fake “like” before the image exists. UX sabotage disguised as free AI. #AI #UXFail #Grok

I couldn't work the QR code at Westquay car park - Letter City parking needs to be user friendly

#UXfail Southampton West Quay car park pay machines have QR codes sellotaped on scrappy bits of paper in an underground area with unreliable mobile coverage.

No matter how enjoyable a trip has been, visitors’ memories are confused, frustrated and disappointed.

"Print Cleanup Notification
We noticed you have some unused printers. Would you like to remove them?" "Yes"

"Print Cleanup Notification We noticed you have some unused printers. Would you like to remove them?" "Yes"

a useless and potentially harmful notification. it can be a tedious task, and sometimes impossible, to find a working driver for your printer, and this one suggests you should just go ahead and remove perfectly configured printers from your system. for what? #ux #uxfail

Cool to see a recent update of @monocles Chat (Jabber/ XMPP app) added the ability to follow social feeds created in apps like Movim. When I go to the Feeds tab it even suggests a bunch of accounts for me to follow. Unfortunately every one I've tried says "could not subscribe to feed".

„Unbegrenzter Tarif“, „Unbegrenztes Datenvolumen“ … „Mehr Daten buchen“

Die UX von Sauerstoff-Mobile ist an der Stelle aber auch kaputt 😂. Mehr als unendlich? Wenn ich den Button drücke, kommt eine Auswahl, in der ich „TV und Sicherheitspakete“ buchen kann 😅

That's what sharpies are for! 😂

Also, I tell the company directly in public spaces. Both the company producing those products on the cheap as well as the hotel chain - this is dumb.

If anyone is asking, this is one of a never-ending chain of examples of bad UX (User Experience). #UXFail #CXFail

1.5m cable or 3 months?

The things you find on Amazon are both funny and disappointing.

I’ve seen far more ridiculous examples than this, but I thought I’d share one I came across recently.

The screenshot is from a product page for an audio cable.

What weird stuff have you encountered on Amazon?

Saublöd von Apple, den „Action-Selector“ so unter den ausgewählten Text zu packen, dass man nicht mehr weiter (nach unten) auswählen kann, weil dann der „Action-Selector“ im Weg ist. Ganz nebenbei blendet sich der „Action-Selector“ deutlich zu schnell ein.

Why have you logged me out of the app?

And, despite being logged out of the app, how do I still have app notifications??

Anyone else see the window for the Music app on #macOS26Tahoe not remembering its position or size after quitting and restarting the app? It's a ridiculous bug and is a really awful #UX.
