Ask HN: Isn't it time to fix App readability

1 pointsby santoshmaharshialmost 11 years ago
Sorry friends I can&#x27;t read your Content&#x2F;UI and that&#x27;s my problem and believe it or not it yours too.<p>My question is very simple, when web fonts have become substantially larger in last few years (see medium.com types) why the hell app text &amp; interface sizes, shapes and colors have become obnoxiously painful.<p>I can see the gray text on white on my mac book, but when I am on the move, sometime under the sun, do you really think lightest &amp; tiniest gray text on whitest background makes sense ?<p>I have given up few apps cos I simply hate them and those weren&#x27;t free, they were paid.<p>1. I hated Tinke&#x27; devices iOS UI, I never used more that 2-3 times. I had paid ~100$s for it 2. I don&#x27;t appreciate MY BASIS ios app either 3. From pure software perspective, I installed Reporter. It&#x27;s by some facebook guy at 4$+ but I never bothered to check again or even provide feedback.<p>I gave paid examples above just to illustrate that this abandoning will be of course must faster and higher in free and more affordable products.<p>Are you going mad as well ? Does app readability needs to be fixed and how ?
