I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

  • Ima springboard right off your’s:

    Inventive app names.

    It’s not uncreative to call your app “Image Resizer;” it’s descriptive. If I’m not using the app every day and it has a creative name, I’m going to forget what it’s called. And because I’m installing and trying new apps all the time, if it isn’t a descriptive name, I’m guaranteed to forget it. It’s going to get lost in a sea of other apps, and I’m sure to never find it.

    I’ve developed habits to work around Inventive Names, but… just call it what it is, or some variation. “Resizeratus Rex,” or something.

      Agreed, but if everyone named things merely descriptively… we’d end up with like 200 apps named “Image Resizer.”

      So it’s a bit of a conundrum, because descriptive names are clearly far superior, but if everyone used only descriptive names, most apps would be very similarly named, and then you’d have to filter based on author/developer.

      And frankly a lot of us aren’t clever enough to make up a name that is both descriptive and memorable like “Resizeratus Rex” lol.
