    naming is essential

    if you make and kill four separate apps all called variations around “google pay” there’s a tiny chance people gets confused

      A lot of people hear the app is dead and assume they no longer can tap to pay and just stop doing it altogether. My mom’s like that.

        Exactly. At the end of the day, naming is not that relevant as long as it conveys the message of what the app does. It only gets confusing when you have a bunch of apps doing the same thing

          Google isn’t interested in good UX, so they prioritize the next “new” internally to their staff. This is the end result. It’s why I switched from Android (and I was pretty huge fanboy in my teens haha) to iOS. Apples got its own issues but the user experience end to end is leagues ahead. Phones don’t innovate anymore so in the end I just want a solid pocket computer with a great camera.

      I’m confused just by this announcement. +1 to that.

      Edit: I thought wallet was “pay”.
