App “Improvements”

[Enough!Participant @enough]

Am I the only one who thinks that the constant barrage of updates to "Improve" the apps on our devices, ultimately succeeds in making them progressively useless?

I was using my banking app to deposit a small ($37) cheque today – a few weeks since I used it.

First, I noticed that when taking pictures of the cheque, the screen is now overlaid with a mine of "useful" information, obscuring the view and making picture taking difficult. Possibly there was some way to turn it off but I couldn't easily find it.

Having got past that and entered the amount of the deposit, it then came back to me and said that, although I had entered $37, their scanning software had determined that the cheque was actually for some $59,000-odd. Which amount did I want to go with?

Don't believe I wasn't sorely tempted.
