Does anyone else but me think the UI design in Evernote is truly abominable?
-- Fonts are generally very small, which limits legibility.
-- Color for fonts is low contrast, making it even harder to read.
-- Confused mess of sliding windows and overlay screens with no coherent design cues, model, or rationale.
For example: I know I have a note on an item, and I want to read it. So I do a search. Now, depending on where I am in the Ui I get a VERY different UI presentation of the search box. After entering a search term I get a list of matching items. Click on the note to view .. and...
It appears in an overlay window. Not the main notes window .. an overlay. Why? What good is this to me? if the only way I can view notes is in this restricted window, what is the rest of the UI for? I cannot find ANY way to simply use a search to filter the main set of notes by the search (like the desktop versions). I guessing there is a way, but good luck finding it.
Who thought this design was a good idea? What were they smoking at the time?
As far as I am concerned, the entire iPad UI is an exercise in frustration and utter amazement at the total lack of intelligence in the UI design. To be blunt, I hate it.
