As you can see, he clicks fast and the icon remains "pressed". If you keep the pen near the screen but not in contact with it after you have pressed, you will not have to click again as he does. |
I don't blame him on this. By 2017 tablet's standard or human nature, you'd expect your action on the UI has an immediate response.
The "pressed" UI is a square around App icon, which is OK but not quite obvious what that means to most Windows/Mac or even tablet users. The square is slow to show up and takes at least 500ms.
Because tablet has no mouse cursor. By convention, you'd expect App pops up or even show up a splash screen immediately. But none happens except a square.
This is back to my open source suggestion -- find a better UI for a slow e-ink device. e-ink display is slow but single core caused the problem much worse.
For things like this, I'd suggest either show a blank screen immediate or show empty icon with a blank square or even draw a small Window wait cursor.
The goal is to let user know immediately that UI receives your action. Most of time you really don't know if stylus action is accepted or not.
BOOX UI sucks, too. In Notes app, who the hell know the T-Shirt icon represent background. I'm a native Chinese speaker. I don't even know how the heck is related.
