ADC II is just another terrible Android application. Correct me if I am wrong but has the Google Android team produced anything that is of exceptional quality? In both looks, usability, and stability? I can't think of anything and ADC II is a prime example of a poorly implemented, poorly designed app. This is how they expected Android users to judge those all important new apps for the Android. What are they smoking?
They seriously need to hire UI experts.... maybe they could hire/steal them from Apple? It is clear that the iPhone does Google apps (mail, maps, etc.) much, much better than the Android folks. Find someone with an iPhone, if you don't believe me... more features and much faster! I have already complained about ADC's flaws in the past... issues such as: 1. You have to delete the test app before you can try the next one - perhaps five at a time with a one week testing period for each makes more sense; 2. The five star rating needs more granularity in order to give the author more useful feedback; 3. The tester should have the ability to leave a short note (for the aforementioned reason); 4. Instead of 'random' selection of apps, the reviewer should be able to choose through categories of new apps to judge. 5. ADC should include more descriptive text on the app plus a screen shot; 6. ADC should remember the apps you tested/rated/and commented on and remind you when they are generally available. Although I did find many already available in the Market.... so why did ADC force me to remove the app before I could review the next app?? Sorry for my frustration here... I just want to vent a little b/c I am stuck with a OS 1.5 phone that will never get updated (unless I hack it). The HTC Magic is so buggy, it barely works as a phone. Missed calls, dropped calls, Forced close on Android native apps. The camera is terribly slow and barely usable... is there anything that an Android can do as good or better than an iPhone? Please just give me one example of an app that is better on the Android!
