iOS UI/UX on Android doesn't make any sense

[–] wason@lemmy.ninja 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Settings / Appearance / Themes / Device mode / Android (beta)

Well... It's is beta...

[–] happyhippo@feddit.it 10 points 1 year ago

Someone finally said it. Can't stand it, sorry.

[–] shashi154263@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It has Android mode also.

I must be an idiot, as I cant tell the damn difference. There are posts. They have thumbnails. I scroll through posts, I click on and read comments. How the hell is different than any other Lemmy app?

The iconography, full text up button in the action bar. Doesn't use material elements in the ui and it's themed ios blue instead of using the device theme.

Ya that would be my main complaint. Awesome app for iOS users, but Android here. Doesn't seem the Android mode works ATM but I'll keep an eye on the progress! Good efforts from devs regardless!

[–] shashi154263@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ummm... What's the problem with Android mode? I'm using it ever since it's here.

[–] droidpenguin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I should rephrase. It works, but as of now the Android mode doesn't look all that different. I notice some minor changes, but still feels mostly like an iOS app.
