Now… you can elect favorites… Great! you may think… But wait! You cannot simply right-click on a station and add it to Favorites, you have to page to the details, select Favorites, and go back to the list in search of another station.Īnd there is only ONE list of favorites! What's wrong with multiple collections like iTunes' playlists?Īnd the favorites are also painfully shown as pages again. No! This application can't show the list together with the details of the selected station. What wrong with scrollable lists, spreadsheets with rows and columns that I could scroll quickly with the mouse wheel/trackpad/magic mouse? …with meaningful columns that I could sort by, with a filter to tune-in within the search results, etc, etc…?Īnd to view the details of one particular station, I have to click on it, and I get to another page to read it, and then page back to the list (and the animations are making it even slower) and then carry-on clicking and clicking and clicking and clicking… What's wrong with an Info panel that details whatever is selected in the list. This sounds great, right?īut wait! The results are shown in pages of 10! So I need to painfully browse 63 pages!!!! Click, Click, Click, Click….
Let's say I search for "Jazz"… I get 629 results. What's wrong with an iTunes-like User Interface? Apple, and others, have thought through many usability issues, so why that desire to imitate the mess of a badly designed web site instead?įor instance, RadioShift has a great ability to find radios, but the results are useless because of the UI: The UI is a mess, absolutely awful! This app is in love with paging and clicking… lots of it! Somewhere, it contains a lot of functionality, but the awful User Interface makes it extremely hard to access. I really wanted to like this application.
