Week 2 : Two Dots a hit + The Stoic is basic

Week 2:

Good UXD: This week I started playing a new game called Two Dots. It isn't even that great of a game but it feels good to play. The design is based on circles, there is only one action per screen, and there is a lot of clear space.

Bad UXD: There is an app that I like called The Stoic because you can read neat quotes about Stoicism. However, the app is pretty ugly. I'm not sure if it is the type, random type sizes, or Google ads that make it feel odd. It may come down to bad UI more than UX, but that brings up the question... does bad UI ensure bad UX?

I've attached screenshots.

Week 6 : Instagram is easy + Buzzfeed is hard

Week 6: GOOD UX: Instagram Instagram seemingly recreated Facebook, stripped out all of the content, and distilled the experience down to what people truly want and have time for, pictures alone. This model is still relevant and is the app that I can always look at for just a few minutes. Always updating, always changing, never boring. BAD UX: Buzzfeed I really have trouble with overly busy app screens. There is too much hierarchy among the headlines, subheads, and body copy. I feel like it visually resembles a classified ad, but is even harder to soak in the info.
