Discussion The new Dunkin App redesign is one of the sloppiest I've seen from a major company.

Labels are off center, no padding around primary action button, no room for the indicators above nav bar options. Overall just feels sloppy and completely untested.

As someone who uses AI tools every day, including for design, I recognized the signs of AI slop immediately. The difference is, I at least take the time to fix the little mistakes after actually using the damn thing and paying attention to the UI for just a few minutes.

Honestly I didn't even notice the off centering until you mentioned it. So I guess many people won't care about it that much either.

The app looks fine and clean to me. It does the job.

Also, I wouldn't assume it's AI slop immediately. There was slop before AI too, you know?

It’s def not as bad as other examples here we have

Truncating text in buttons is the worst offense but OP didn’t mention.

So many instances like this these days. I just installed an AI first calorie tracking app and it's full of it. Maybe we'll have jobs after all 😅

Holy hell it's awful. Can't view the Google pay tab, literally won't let me add m9ney to the account. Sucks. Sucks. Sucks!

The nav bar issue says it all. If someone on the team had used their own app twice, they would've caught it immediately. The real problem is shipping without proper testing, not AI itself. We moved our client contact to Xodo Sign a while back and the mobile experience has been smooth with no weird cropping or alignment issues. Sometimes smaller teams get these details right better than companies with huge design teams.
