What Is The Single Most Irritating App You Have Ever Had To Use?

I can't think of a single most irritating piece of software that I've ever had to use. But I must say I hate the calculator app on my iPhone. I do things quickly. It's just the way my nervous system works. I have a dozen things on my mind at a time and I want to get through whatever task I'm doing quickly and efficiently particularly if it's a routine thing like doing arithmetic on a calculator.

But the iPhone calculator app won't let me do that. The virtual keys are slow to react and I end up missing numbers and having to retrace by, for example, dividing by the wrong number I just multiplied another number with. And like virtual keyboards on Apple phones, the keyboard on that app is a bit too small for the sausages I have for fingers.

There's a silver lining to this. The calculator app is teaching me the zen of controlling my impulses and doing things more slowly and deliberately. If I can master using this little app, I might be ready for larger challenges!

We have all these crappy 'security apps' the government and banks make us download to use online banking.
Most of them are barely functional, error-prone and constantly requiring annoying updates that require permissions and passwords.

Personally, I think being forced to use something terrible is much worse than using something terrible because you have not downloaded a better calculator app. I have never used the Samsung calculator app and just got my own which has like 20 different calculators including my favourite 'simple'.

I'm sorry your banking apps are bad. The online banking app that my bank is very good. The mobile app is top notch as well. If only we had that smooth apps on Hive.

You're right, it's much worse to have to use crappy apps than be too lazy to download something better. But as I said, there is a silver lining to using that calculator app. :)
