I used to submit a lot of radars (now Feedback). At some point there was very little effort from their side, no responses, annoying replies wanting to get everything served on a silver platter, just no appreciation of us devs. It’s a give and take. With such attitude I’m not willing to do free QA work.

As an example, I can write "notifications animation corner smoothing glitch" and honestly it's hard for me how one cannot know exactly what I mean. This bug has been introduced in iOS 16. Why would I waste my time making a screen recording etc. when something so obvious doesn't get picked up internally

Apple basically remote-bricked my 2yo Watch. Since December the battery drain is so bad that the Watch became useless. Lasts about 3 hours. There are several discussion threads [1,2] where many users have the same problem, even with the latest Ultra models.

Apple's leadership is so hypocritical it's disgusting. They make a cringe video [3] about environmental efforts while they waste so much energy and deteriorate so many batteries with their broken software.

I think Spotify is still quite good overall. They sometimes make very bad UI decisions. But the latest home screen desaster (of huge, almost full-screen size tiles) was luckily already rolled back.

My main gripe is that it carves overly deep channels around what I've listened to before. For discovering new music I find Shazam more valuable. I wish Spotify had some clever randomness.

A good example are Tarantino soundtracks with songs from all over the genre landscape. I've never seen Spotify create playlists like that.

When staying within a genre the autoplay can be amazing though.

Can't take this seriously when there's zero mention of whether the participants are able to touch type or not
