One of the biggest gripes I have with modern UI (both Apple and Android) is animation times. Try exporting an image from Dropbox app to Photos app on the iPhone. There are so many animations that take up precious time. Do it 10 times and you're tired.

I feel like designers today want "sleekness" more because it sells when people look at it. Ohh...look at that shiny animation, so impressive.

I want instant actions at the expense of not knowing where something poped-up from. This is usually the case made by designers that animations help you understand the "Context" of where something came from. I feel like this needs to be toned down a bit. UI would feel 1000% faster.



An easy solution for developers would be to decrease the animation duration the more often a feature is used. But I have yet to see this approach in the wild.


Oh I’m so tired! Too tired to find the switch that turns off the animations if they bother you so much.
