Assuming the bottom is even accesible! I believe it's somewhere in the Amazon ios app where I see a promise of a useful footer that is always pushed off the page by infinitely scrolling things they're pushing at me instead.

That's their mobile layout in general. In their view they must have improved UX immensely since no mobile person has needed help/support since introduction of infinite scrolling

yesterday I tried to access customer service on my phone and I was unable to figure it out. the phone number told me to toss off and the chat link (even in desktop mode) just redirected me to the amazon app page in the App Store, an app I already have downloaded. I had to go on my laptop in the end

My favorite thing is when a website or app places a bunch of icons at the extreme bottom edge, and my tap there is confused by iOS as me interacting with the app switcher bar.

That's always fun.

This is very annoying. In Safari, clicking icons in that style of nav bar instead brings up the browser’s back/forward buttons, and requires a 2nd click in a new location now that the nav bar has been offset by the height of the back/forward buttons.

I literally showed that to someone the other day as an example of nonsense ways to build UIs.

Endless scroll with a footer is one of my favorite facepalm things.

Protip: navigate to a different page, not a listing of products, then you may be able to scroll to the footer.

Unless the app has an infintely scrolling list of recommended products or reviews or reviews of recommended products.
