He’s not an idiot. This app is intuitive. That feature was requested by users. That’s how it worked in Apollo and users liked it. Just because You don’t like it, it doesn’t mean it’s not intuitive.
I love the app. The app is intuitive. I think is great that the feature was requested by users because Apollo did it in the same way.
But, that kind of bottom bars usually are not used like this, long pressing one of the tab options.
I like the feature but it’s not intuitive. There is no indicators that show the user have to long press there. And as a sample you can see this thread.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.. All of them have at least one long press features at the bottom bar. I do agree it can be unintuitive if you never used it before, but it almost feels like a standard in apps nowdays. I feel like it’s pretty well used feature and it would be unused space if they moved somewhere else, you can access it in literally single click.
It’s true. You are right. I’ve checked Twitter and Instagram and both do the same behavior in bottom bars. I’m a user of both from 2008 and I didn’t realize that you could do like this.
Why? Because there exists other way to do it in both apps (l’ve checked) Why? Because it’s not intuitive.
@kr0n @Amcro I find this conversation interesting in that you are both talking like intuition is a binary that you either have or not have, where this could be cleared up by a disciptive label
