The [done] button is where the [return] button usually is; and it's directly over the [send] button. So if you don't notice that return is now done, and tap it twice to get a new paragraph, you just sent your unfinished feedback.
I blame Google, but it could be Apple being stupid with the dreadful iOS keyboard.
> possible to get a pretty good impression of whether the user interface was thought about or rather just an afterthought.
I'm sure Google spends a lot of time and money on the UI. Which just makes it more frustrating to me. EG Chrome's (on iOS) address bar does not let you select and copy an address until the page has nearly finished loading. And to paste an url into the bar you don't tap the cursor but some mid-point of the address box - except it's flat UI so you just guess where to tap. Items in the burger menu take five seconds to become clickable.
Hah, the OP article does disable zoom. Disabled zoom is one of the frustrating things lately about iOS apps. Every time I try to show someone older than me something in a Skype chat, or (speaking of google) in a hangouts chat on the iPad... they cant read it - "Hang on... let me find my glasses."
The web interface login page recently changed so first you type in your username, then have to switch to the mouse to click "next", then type in your password. (Perhaps not as bad as one website I know that disables tabbing between the two fields!)
Anyone know if there's a reason behind such a clunky interface change?
It's weird to me that Google fails, hard, on so many ui things.
Here's one example from the Gmail app on iOS, from the feedback screen.
