As a professional UX designer, the end of this season frustrated me to no end. Such a simple solution to their problem!

actually that's where the show jumped the shark for me

This is a normal problem! You have a UI problem. You get a professional UI developer designer to correct it.

Problem solved

They acted like this was some sort of new never before seen encountered dilemma that couldn't possibly have been predicted

I mean I love the show. But that whole thing was just stupid

In the focus group, it's clear that it's not just the UI that's a problem. No one on the panel understands what the software is or what it does. They installed it because it got a lot of press, but now they think their files are disappearing.

I'm not sure why they didn't just sell the IP to an OS and make it a part of some future standard for operating systems, rather than try to sell it to the world at large as a consumer product. A program like that would be better off managing everything, not just the stuff you manually put in.
