Come on we've all sent the new boy for a long weight or tartan paint

Sky hooks and bubble for a spirit level was what they got me with

Forgot that one. Mate worked at a PLC repair place whilst at college and they called him Bubble after the first week!

Explain please needs work doing?

the main thing i dislike is the keypad, its a pain to use especially on smaller phones.

in my opinion the idea of having a picture of an actual keypad, with interactive buttons was a good one in theory, but the app would be easier to use if it had a UI specifically designed for a phone.

I've not seen the app yet, but skeuomorphism (copy real world objects in virtual interfaces) is quite often the downfall of apps.

Presumably not from a security point of view?

 

From a design pov it does make sense, providing the need for absolutely zero

additional training or familiarity should someone used to using the hardware

decide to use the app long after the installer has explained the system...

skeuomorphism

I'm going to see if I can use that word today in a conversation.

Take Mrs Norm to the carpet shop...

 

 

Blimey, look at that classic skeuomorphism!

Do you like what they have done with iOS 7 then?

Is that a swipe at apple for copying windows phone look?

I like iOS 7. Yes, it does appear as if they have taken some good bits of Android and good bits of Windows phones and copied them. It's a better OS as a result.

 

Still on the fence about Android and Apple. My iPhone was far closer to what I wanted/needed out of the box than my HTC. But I can't make it do somethings I want that I easily made the HTC do.
