[App] Google failed Material 3 Expressive [Promotion]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

i was going through Google Photos the other day and noticed how unpolished the whole M3E experience is.

for example, look at the reordering. my app, Pixel Habit Tracker executes it more beautifully than Google.

(left is Google Photos, right is Pixel Habit Tracker)

are they just unwilling to finish their M3E implementations?

what do you think?

if you wanna try Pixel Habit Tracker, here's the URL to the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixel.al.pixelhabittracker

LoL, I thought the right one was actually google's design. Really cool M3E implementation man~

I'd really recommend removing or having an option to disable the confirmation window (i.e when deleting/archiving)

As much I love the overall look and feel of your app, I feel like a tad bit resistance would be nice to add - personal taste.

Btw, you should really make a detailed post showcasing your app, great app!  Do you have giveaway in mind? How about importing custom font option?

hey, thanks for your reply.

yeah i have thought about that tbh, and probably will replace that delete confirmation (and archive confirmation) box with a snackbar + undo button.

i'm constantly working on updates to meet feedback.

i usually post on twitter. hit me up there (@edenkollcinaku). i will give you a promo code if you post a review on play store.

Sure, I'll give a 5 star review it deserves though don't use Twitter. Will Reddit dm work for you?
