Wanted to see how everyone in the community felt about the using the android navigation bar buttons vs using gesture control.
I’ve used the navigation buttons since they released on android and just recently started trying to use the gesture based navigation. It’s been a little difficult for me to adapt to it so far, but curious what others experience has been.
I’m the weirdo who misses the hybrid two button layout. It has some gestures and some nav bar and once I got used to it I did like it. The new gestures nav throws me off something terrible.
3-button nav bar all the way. gesture navigation just feels so ambiguous and inexact compared to discrete buttons. I never understood why google decided to copy that stupid anti-feature from ios when they already had a superior system that worked (and still works) perfectly well.
I prefer navigation bar, but I tolerate gesture controls due to the ease of swiping between apps.
I really dislike gestures as I’ll accidentally trigger them all the time. I just want physical buttons back. They’re far superior for me. Sadly it is not a common opinion so I’ll just have to deal with whatever is popular.
Gesture, it’s a lot more elegant than navbars UI wise.
