If this is the app: https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/school-morning-routine/id16068...

The I notice quite few things: - low fps animations - delay until the keyboard popups - no support to save the password or use e.g. an Apple account to login - no scrollbars in the modal and the back button out of view

So in general, this would not make the cut for the native apps my employer produces. Especially the low fps is a deal breaker.

Tested on an iPhone XR



I find the claim "No one noticed" a bit hyperbolic. It's more like "and my change was easily tolerated". I certainly notice these things and I'll pay a premium for software that feels "snappy" any looks good.


Yeah, the title says "no one noticed" while the article says "my kid didn't notice" + no users complained. Which makes sense because this is an app that parents are making their kids use. The parents don't use the app and the kids have to. Who is going to complain that the interface changed?
