  • I like the feature but find it unreliable and the implementation is a bit messy for my liking. I use it for timers (when it works, which is usually after 2-3 attempts) and for dismissing notifications. The issues I’m having:

    • It doesn’t dismiss timers at the first attempt, it always takes 2-3
    • For many notifications, it doesn’t dismiss them, it opens them. I find this really inconsistent and rarely what I want, since double tap means I can’t use both hands and opening a notification is more interaction than I’ve already indicated I’m capable of at that moment
    • I don’t find the widgets/stacks useful. I would much rather double tap to open and scroll through the notification list. I put two weather widgets in the stack to at least make double tap slightly useful for now.
    • For my morning alarm, the screen doesn’t always wake up immediately and double tap doesn’t work when the screen is asleep, so this is a bit pointless. It feels like a bug though.
    • Why can I start a workout with double tap but I can’t end one? At least show me the screen with the End and Pause buttons and let me double tap End, then it’s relatively certain I’m not ending it by accident.
