Why on God’s green earth can I not have an #iPhone interface that works?

To say that Apple’s “gestures” suck is entirely too kind. They are a fundamentally broken idea anyway, but that gestures have regions and therefore that a gesture may mean any of three different things, makes my phone desperate–and I do mean desperate–to do anything other than what I’m telling it to do.

    The pinch to zoom and scrolling features generally work fine. I did explore the accessibility features and found nothing that addresses my need for easy predictability.

    The reason I like the buttons is because I know what they do. And they do it every time.

    The reason I hate the gestures is that I’ll think I’m doing one thing and get something completely different, often when I needed it to do the right thing five seconds ago.

      What specific gestures are you talking about?
