Let me rephrase. Upon which apps are you using Material 3 Expressive?

[–] MaXimus421@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Let me ask you a question.

Which ones do you might think I'm using?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Given that I'm yet to find an app that's implemented MYE, I'm honestly stumped.

[–] MaXimus421@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why are you way out there in left field?

Good Lord.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because you said, and I quote

It feels like beta software that was shoved out the door.

Emphasis mine.

Let me break it down for you.

BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE BETA SOFTWARE

I don't believe I'm required to define for what Beta software is like to use. So instead I'm going to drop one more line about ONEUI 7 feeling unrefined, unpolished and lacking in consistency throughout the WHOLE damn OS.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you're judging something you haven't used yet? Cool!

[–] MaXimus421@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where in the world did you get that impression

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 10 months ago

It's worse that Android 12 and that's sayin a lot. It feels like beta software that was shoved out the door. You can tell the devs are iOS users.

There are so many things that need refining in the UI department that it's actually amazing they released it. I do not understand what they thought they had accomplished with this update.

It's kind of embarrassing, tbh.

These are your words. Now if you said…

My initial impressions are that this is a step backwards and beyond which I feel was the low point of Android 12.

While I agree that much of the UI needs refining, based on the images I've seen, I suspect they've fallen short to the point I'm surprised they're poised to release it. I am bewildered as to what the goal was with this release as surely it can't be as they say, to provide a more tactile and vibrant feeling user experience. You can clearly see they're aiming to wrangle iOS users and I'm not sure this is the right way to go.

As far as improvements I would like to see…

I would be like, 'fair enough'.
