Ask HN: Best and worst UI's you've seen?

9 pointsby cdvonstinkpotabout 8 years ago
The worst I&#x27;ve seen, or tried to use is my city&#x27;s public transportation bus app here:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;centro.org&#x2F;service_schedules&#x2F;mobile-app<p>Best would be ProxmoxVE&#x27;s, here:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pve.proxmox.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Main_Page

My current choice for worst UI &#x2F; UX also is from a public transportation app, to be specific the latest version of the public transportation app the Rhine-Ruhr area (a metropolitan area roughly the size of Greater London in terms of inhabitants. One would think they had at least some sort of quality assurance for a product targeting such a large number of customers but it seems they don&#x27;t ...): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;de&#x2F;app&#x2F;vrr-app-fahrplanauskunft&#x2F;id423533479?mt=8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;de&#x2F;app&#x2F;vrr-app-fahrplanauskunft&#x2F;id4...</a><p>The new UI &#x2F; UX is glossy, somewhat unique, seemingly modern and ... completely useless. You can&#x27;t even perform the most basic tasks anymore like finding a route from A to B.<p>In terms of best UIs the previous version of Headspace (both on mobile and the web) was fantastic. The latest version is still good though not quite as good in my opinion.<p>Trello has a great UI, too. It&#x27;s simple and easy to grasp with no unnecessary frills.

Personally, I don&#x27;t like flushing toilets around the world because there are a million ways to do it. I&#x27;m surprised something like that did not get standardized internationally or nationally or even across a brand. I understand it&#x27;s cutting water costs in a lot of places by having a lite flow + regular with the dual press but it&#x27;s wildly inconsistent. I&#x27;ve pulled the lever, pushed a button, pushed a half button, pulled a string hanging from the ceiling.. is this just something that we mutually agree is fucked? Or is it just me?<p>Shit could be improved.

My favorite web UIs are Joyent&#x27;s mgmt console and the GitLab UI. I find them both clean and intuitive to use - although as GitLab has been adding features sometimes I end up looking for something - but once I find it it&#x27;s very easy to use and it is obvious what the next step is with the big fat green button. I love the big fat button!<p>[Disclaimer: I am now a GitLab trainer and reseller too.]

The new Linkedin is probably one of the worst UI&#x27;s I&#x27;ve seen.

the HBO go mobile app has always been pretty horrible. Even the new one has some pretty obvious bugs. it&#x27;s like they didn&#x27;t bother testing it at all.<p>I thought the Yahoo screen app was one of the more beautiful and intuitive apps. It was really pleasant to use, just has very little content so I rarely used it.
