Usability Issues after my first day using BuddyFeed

[Phil Glockner]

I'm not sure if you want separate issues in separate threads, so I
will just list them here:

1. When a photo is taken through the application in portrait mode, it
is not rotated before upload and FriendFeed displays it sideways.

2. Attaching more than one photo to a new post causes the app to lock
up, and eventually causes the phone to reboot.

3. The process for posting an update needs more feedback.. when you
click on 'send' the button gets slightly darker and the interface
freezes up. It's hard to tell anything is happening.

4. The subject text on a new entry appears with pluses (+) instead of
spaces. For example: http://friendfeed.com/e/49db4b0e-a4e1-4959-8849-c4f3ed412769/Testing-BuddyFeed-La-la-la/

5. When clicking on an entry in the FriendFeed stream, I would prefer
to go to the likes and comments, not the link. Apparently, the only
want to get to the likes and comments is to click on the insanely
small heart and comment icons.

That's it for now, I will update if I find more issues.

Hi,

Thank you very much for reporting the issues.

I will try my best to get them fixed in the next version.

Best regards,

Yeah, this is a little bit awkward, but I like having the two options
right from the top-level stream. Maybe just make the heart and comment
icons bigger?

On that same note, it would be more intuitive if the heart icon did
the "like" directly, rather than going to the comments feed first. If
both icons were bigger, this would be more feasible.

Cheers,

Indeed, the touchable area for likes and comments is much bigger than how the icons look like. As long as you touches right bottom of the message, you can hardly fail on launching the message view. Try it.
