google-listen-ui-fail <p> </p> <p>Every so often you will hit a user interface that will break your user model. It isn’t often that mainstream publishers will do this so I was quite shocked on the Google Listen App for Android (2.3) in the add podcast option the add and cancel buttons are around the wrong way. Making me accidently click add instead of cancel. The worse part when these events occur you have to think, is that actually the wrong way? but after opening a few more apps I felt happy to say Google FAIL!</p>
