There are many terrible applications in the Play Store-sometimes it amazes me what gets published. However, there is on application that I think stands above the rest: Huntington Bank. This is an app that has been around for a couple years now on Android, and it’s failures have continued to endure. Let me illustrate it’s failures:

Do not excessively override the native back button

This app has had this problem since the beginning. To understand this, go two pages deep and start hitting the back button. You’ll be bouncing between these two pages over and over again. Better yet, just launch the app. Hitting the back button will do absolutely nothing: no returning to your previous app, no returning to the home screen. Actually, you get a spinner and the application stays on the home screen. Fortunately, there’s an iPhone style back button at the top that totally confused the platform.

There is an X in the top right of the screen

A Windows designer must have made this. Once you’ve navigated back with the iPhone arrow to the home screen, you need to hit the X to close the application. To me this illustrates a fundamental failure to understand any of these platforms.

There is a spinner used for every screen

Whether you’re going forward or backwards, viewing dynamic or static content, there is a spinner and delay for every screen transition. Likely these are WebViews, but it appears no attempt to cache the content for quicker navigation.
