Dear iOS app developers (including you, Apple),
When my iPad doesn’t have an Internet connection for whatever reason, popping up a dialog box to tell me it has no connection is somewhat annoying, but understandable. After all, it’s good to communicate what’s going wrong to some extent. You can probably find a less obtrusive way than a box that takes over my whole iPad until I tap it, but whatever.
Popping up the same box 15 times in three seconds, and constantly popping it back up as soon as I dismiss it, again and again until I hit the home button to shut you up, is just plain stupid. And it makes me want to stab you in the eyes with a hot poker.
I got it the first time. No connection. Check.
And Mail app, I don’t need to know you couldn’t get mail from each one of my accounts in a separate dialog box. Just tell me you have no connection; I can deduce from that that none of my accounts will get new mail.
Really? Retry is my only option here, Netflix? How about “Stop Trying?”
