Android Lollipop is a 'train wreck'

[thesachd]

Yes I'm the guy who chose the iPhone briefly as I am back with my Lumia. But I still think ios8 is far more attractive than lollipop is and you're right I just hate android/google and it sickens me to even have to use it. There are still aspects of the os that really don't feel cohesive such as the settings and various menus and it has so many features yet they seem to be on excess to the point of being overwhelming. While it is visually more attractive, android is still chaos to me.

I enjoy reading many of your posts because they are well reasoned however I disagree quite strongly with you on this one.

It seems that your hate for Google is blinding you from seeing obvious Android advantages.

The settings app for Android has almost always been one of it's major advantages, it has been better organised than iOS, and much much better organised than Windows Phone.



Also with Lollipop it even has a search function, making it significantly better than the one you find on other operations system.

Also the settings app and all stock menus I've found adhere to the Material Design guidelines, so I don't understand your issues there.

Was not interested at first, but I really love notifications now on Android Lolipop
Double click on notification from the lock screen and done! You need to use it for more time.

I love the new notification system as well, but I do wish that we had an option to select the old silent notifications instead of the heads up ones, I like the new ones but some people don't.

Yeah the new Lolipop settings are looking better than ever. So does the notification center.

Lollipop notifications is a heaven sent, work very well and offer many options.
