ISSUES

  • Search box should activate the on-screen keyboard for undocked touch devices or on detecting touch input. Prefer if programmatically activating the on-screen keyboard it should also be programmatically closed when the search is entered or if focus leaves the search box.
  • Under Settings, no way to drag-n-drop to change the order of Features using touch.

SUGGESTIONS

  • Prev/Next arrows at bottom right are too small for many touch devices and the page doesn't accept swipe gestures to go to prev/next page (swiping is interpreted as selecting text).
    • Increase the size of the prev/next arrows at the bottom of the page or create a larger invisible hotspot around them to catch touch input.
    • Accept swipe gestures to go to prev/next page. Might mean no selections, but is selection useful here? The articles can be opened up for selection if needed.

ABOUT

SUGGESTIONS

  1. Same as SUGGESTION above. For the copyright section, it's hit or miss trying to go to prev/next page. Increase size of next/prev navigation arrows and accept swipe input to go to prev/next page.
