What apps do you hate ?

[RandomGuy1987]

Hello guys,

I think we all had bad experience with application or program in our live, or just hate some applications because they are stupid(I hate iFart and stipid people who use it on public transport :angry: ).

Tell your story in this thread. :rofl:

[treemonster]

quicktime.

i refuse to install it on my pc. even if you get the version not bundled with itunes, when it's update the updater forces you install itunes or not update at all.

i know there's a quicktime lite codec package, but since the only website i go to that use qt is fb and it seems to work without it despite the plug ins missing notification. and i don't care enough about high resolution trailers on the apple site. if i want to se a trailer i can watch it on youtube.

i also dislike adobe reader. it doesn't seem to get much love from adobe in terms of being secure and frequently there seems to be news about some kind of security hole in it. also people tend to be wary of .pdf files. recently i had to install it for a guide on how to install the swg emu, and tbh there was nothing in it that could not have been done in a normal forum post, it seems the guide writer simply chose this method as a barrier to less literate computer uses, and this kind of thinking was rampant on the swg emu forums.

PC: iTunes. I loathe that piece of crap. Damn Apple for forcing me to use it with my iPod Touch.

Also hate Limewire (and most p2p programs) and IE (who doesn't?).

iPod Touch: All the crap that comes pre-installed like the Email app.

iTunes.

iTunes.

My thoughts exactly.

iTunes is excellent on a Mac. But then again, it should be. :shifty:

I personally don't like OpenOffice.org. There is no comparison with Microsoft Office or iWork.

I know you're referring to iPod/iPhone Apps but this is in General. :laugh:

Winrar

Just use 7-Zip already! Its free AND better!

RealMedia (just showed my age on that one).

RealMedia (just showed my age on that one).

yeah that one was freakin terrible.

i came across a website for an artist i liked that use it, and i told the admin he should switch to some other codec for a variety of reason i forget now. he thought realmedia was great and was a good way to promote the artist the site was all about. i facepalmed hard.

Maybe free. but really ****ty shell integration in comparison. and I hate the 7zip format. and the app itself is just not as good. seems to liek to throw random errors and no support various compressed files very well.

and yeah iTunes. and more so QuickTime

iTunes.

Yep me too. The reasons why are because Number one: It crashes or freezes all the time Number Two: It has a very bad codec library and can only play MP3 and AAC, I like my FLAC and WAV files sorry Apple.

Also iPhone/iPod apps I would have to say the e-mail app and music since like I said about iTunes it can only read the MP3 and AAC codecs.

Exactly, In Windows at least, the integration of Winrar is much better. I don't mind most apps but any variation of limewire/frostwire/soulseek etc do my nut in. The programs themselves are fine, it's the sheer amount of viruses they give access to that annoys me. I've lost count of how many family and friends have needed computer help after getting a virus from one of these programs :p

7-zip also has issues with split archives. Or at least it did a year ago when I last used it, before I purchased a Winrar license. :whistle:

WLM horrid horrid program and its going to get even worse by the looks of it, oh how i love Adium

'random errors'? I've never had a problem (bugs/errors) with 7-zip so far, and I've been using it for months

Uh, iTunes and iPods are fine with WAV. FLAC support I'll agree with though, ALAC is a weird answer.

sorry but years trumps months.

whereas over the same and many more years, Winrar is more stable, opens ALL files and extracts ALL files, with better shell integration (No I don't need some annoying GUI for my extraction purposes), and it's faster. and it's not based around a ****ty format where to get to a single txt file in a huge archive it needs to extract the whole archive first.

Blasphemy, look left.

iTunes and Quicktime, Apple's software division for windows must be underfunded or something.

[Ulpian]

All and any browser toolbars !

Everything from Google, exept Gmail (but not as main account), Earth and Chrome (but. Chrome not as main browser).

Nero 7,8,9,10 - bloated as hell and useless.

Outlook Express - it destroys your e-mails

Windows Messenger

Everything from Apple

All spyware (containing) apps, including but not limited to Limewire and Bearshare.

On the iPhone (Don't kill me), I partially hate Angry Birds and for one reason only, because the charts don't change anymore because of it... I want to see something NEW at the top of the Paid charts thank you very much.

Otherwise, not much else, save for Quicktime.

[Ji@nBing]

iTunes. In fact I'm probably going to switch to Android so I can ditch it.
