This is the photo I added, I can insert images on website but not on mobile. It’s inconsistent between this two version. Also, the photo function don't have the title area, which is the reason that I need this two functions combined together

Sometimes I would like to use tumblr app on iPhone to post. But the functionality is not satisfied, for that I can't send photos together with words inside of text post which is the way I do on website. The gap between the PC version and mobile version is disappointing.
Macs
The Macbook Air has a troubling interface layout problem. On the laptop’s keyboard, the power button, which on most computers is placed near the top of the keyboard, isolated from other keys, is inexplicably surrounded by two commonly used keys, the increase volume key and the delete key.
The obvious issue with this design is that users, including myself, will often hit the power button when intending to pound one of its neighbors. The designers attempted to account for these errors by requiring the user to hold the power button for the computer to shut down. But what the designers did not consider is that users often hold down the delete and volumes keys, and a mistaken key press could accidentally shut down the mac.
It’s totally obvious that users may accidentally hit on that button. I do it sometimes. Lacking of fully consideration or test perhaps ends up like this.

The iphone app of tripAdvisor is kind of not easy to navigate. Instead of list all the functions in a list, the app can totally separate the function and categories them. In this way, the efficiency will be improved.

Amazon’s website has always been a problem for me. I understand the concept that a website this large must be accessible for people with all speeds of internet connections and computer systems, but that does not excuse poor design. Apple, a website that is also just as popular, has a simple design, is aesthetically pleasing, and is easy to navigate. Amazon should simplify their menu. There are also an unnecessary amount of ads, which do nothing but distract the user. Amazon should take the approach to simplify, as people might actually buy more if they could access more.
I totally understand your experience. I found the ads distracting and slow down the speed for me to navigate through the browser.

The SnapChat’s interface is not easy to learn, for the chat page should slide to the left of the home page. Also, there is no information that tells people they should slide to the left! The home page is camera page. This kind of design is not intuitive.

The design of Yale University School of Art website is truly surprised me!
The layout is soooooooo awful that this is a textbook of bad design! I guess the background of the home page is a photo of Art building but why not using a high resolution as well as big enough shot? It is horrible for people with trypophobia.
The alignment for the content in the home page is also terrible. It is aligned on the left part of the page first with waste of space in the right and suddenly aligned to middle in the end.
The backgrounds for each individual tabs are not relevant to the content and some are even gifs which might distract people from main content.
Reference: http://art.yale.edu
Gifs is in the current students tab:http://art.yale.edu/CurrentStudents
Woah that is god awful design. I think the Yale Art website, in its pursuit of artistry, has completely sacrificed usability. The background is distracting, unhelpful and downright unpleasant, and has no consistency of alignments across it pages.
Yeah, the design makes people dizzy. The study materials are already complicated for learning. Putting more unrelated information inside the page makes looking up less efficient.
Post #5: Xbox
Today I would like to talk about the usability of Xbox.
Although it is my favorite game console, it actually has pretty low efficiency and learnability in terms of its user interface. The system only receives one type of input, from the controller, and nothing else. Suppose the controller runs out of battery, there are no way for the user to interact with the Xbox and watch Netflix for example. Furthermore, for a first time user, users have no idea what each button means as they have no intuitive meaning, and thus may be very difficult for a new user to get used to this game system.
Totally Agreed! Probably that is the reason I don’t believe the investment of the XBOX is well-worth. The learnability as well as the memorability is so poor that as a beginner, I prefer the PS4 more because the controller of that is much more matched with my mental model.
It’s so true that first users have a difficult time to interact with the buttons. The learnability is also poor. Memorizing the X, A, B, Y abstracts without Metaphor is hard

When I click the expand button, the page display the hidden information. However the button don’t change. When I click the button again, it hide the page.
Surely, this is not a good user interface. There is no way to tell whether it’ll display or hide the information before click the button again. The efficiency is low and the learnability is not satisfying.

I would like to share two types of alarm clock for VERY HEAVY SLEEPERS.
The first one is the alarm clock with math problems. The basic idea is that you have to solve some math problems before you could dismiss the alarm clock, like the following:
You may customize the number of exercise before turning it off and how hard is the problem will be. Technically, these are all easy problems to solve since it’s just some basic arithmetic calculation.
The second one is called “Sleep if you can”. It asks you to take a same picture you took last night to dismiss the alarm. By the way, please don’t take a photo of moon the night before; you will never dismiss such alarm!

I’ve used this app. It’s very useful! Since I really don’t want to wake up if I don’t have classes in the morning, I just uninstalled it..LOL..
forgot to add tags~~

This is a Profile page of an Apple App. The bottom is the menu bar. Every time I want to look at my profile and setting, the app shows me unread message page which is not what I intended to look at.
The designer supposed people will need to look at the unread message when they point at the Profile button if there exists unread messages. But this assumption needs to be verified though sufficient experiments and tests.
Post #6: iPhone Language Selection
Apple Products are known for its user friendliness, and I am surprised by my frustration with one particular function of my iPhone. Below is the interface when I type a message.
The globe icon at the bottom is for users to change language to type in, but more often than not, rather than changing the language, this appears:
This is extremely inconvenience for users who have to change languages often. The key to avoiding this is to hold the world icon for a second or so, before scrolling up. But this is so unintuitive and low efficiency and is causing so much frustration whenever I wish to type in Chinese. Step up your game Apple.
I totally understand this! I change my input language quite often. This design is lack of fully consideration of user usage. And perhaps it lacks enough test for the icon.

The USB cable seems to be have three different orientations, like this:
“First time you try to connect: Ahh, doesn’t work.
You flipped, try the second time. Failed as well.
Then you flipped again. It worked. $#@$#@%$#@#&^%^&”

I’ve encountered the same problem! The bad user experience is really annoying. Also, the learnablity is really low. Users can’t say which is the right side to plug even after a long time use.

This is a photo sharing platform. The limit of upload is 9 pics 3×3. If I want to put the second picture in the first place,I have to cancel my work and upload all the pics again. The designer didn’t consider the full usage of the platform.

Post #4: Linkedin App
I’d like to share my experience with using the LinkedIn iOS application.
When I connect with another person and he/she accepted my connect, I get a notification saying “John Smith” accepted your invitation to connect. If I press into the notification, I will be on this page:
Intuitively, when someone accepted my connection request, the user would want to view the new connections’ profile. However, you can only click into the profile by clicking on the tiny “View John Smith’s Profile” line, clicking anywhere else would land you to a page to people you may know. This relates to Fitt’s Law: the smaller the target is, longer the users take to reach it.
I see your point! I've been through the same experience. It is surly inconveient to click another page to view others' profile.
