Powerpoint: Subtitles feature

I clicked "Slideshow" while connected to a projector and this pop-over was displayed.
I was about to start my meeting so I didn't have time to tinker with it.
This really isn't the best time to tell me about new features. Worse off, if I happened to be interested, but not able to explore they didn't offer any information about how to get back to this.

The button label was off-center. I clicked anyway.


This pop-up was displayed.


Notice the bottom-right corner has a system status label "listening."


Here is a detailed view of the pop-over:


I clicked the "Got it" button, and this was displayed:

Again, why is the button label off-center?
The feature seems interesting, but that is not the time to tell me about it.
Perhaps a learning mode or check my calendar, it is integrated.

Tim Hortons - Allow Access

When first setting up the Tim Horton's app they trigger a branded pop-over:

When I tapped "Allow" that triggered the system's allow access pop-over to appear. 

This approach is good since it eases the user into allowing access. 

I am curious to know what would have happened if I clicked "Don't Allow" on the branded pop-over, maybe they would ask me later.

Waze App - Taking HOV lane or toll road?

When I opened the Waze app this pop-over appeared.

When I tapped the "Add pass" button I was directed to this screen.

I know they want to promote a new feature to everyone, but shouldn't they know if I travel along HOV and toll roads from my route history? 

Kudos to them however for showing the Local passes right away and then hiding the other, probably less used, passes under a button.

MS Flow: Get Started (and agree to terms) button

When logging in to MS Flow for the first time you must select your country.
Then when you click Get Started button you are also agreeing to the terms.

They let you know that they will send you promotions and that you can unsubscribe at any time.
They conveniently place this message in small type, and far from the button.
It would seem they are balancing business goals and user goals very well.

OneNote: Welcome Pop-over

When I first launched OneNote online, this Welcome pop-over appeared.

Tim Hortons: Location request heads up

The Tim Horton's app, when first launching included a branded location request pop-over that eased me into saying yet to the iOS location request pop-over. 

Windows - Format, Are you sure?

Button label should be... 
OK = Format and erase all data

Pocket Extension

Since I had the Pocket extension enabled on Chrome, the top stories would appear beneath my search field.


When I clicked to save one of the articles to Pocket this pop-over appeared.
The message explained that Pocket had a new extension.
Since I was a fan of their app, I figured I would explore, so I clicked "Add to Chrome"

The page reloaded and the Google logo was no longer above the Search field. Although the placeholder text still said "Search Google or Type URL" it felt like it was too far different from what I was used to seeing. I had to disable the extension.


When I clicked "Turn on top sites" the row of my most visited sites appeared.

Demotivators - Lead Generation Pop-over

This email grab pop-over appeared on https://despair.com/

Very clever, and on-brand.

Error - Cannot open archive file

Well, I suppose it is good they let me know that they couldn't open it, but why? or perhaps what else could I try?

Windows - Updates are available

I was using windows and this popped up one day.
I could not click outside the box or escape key to make it go away.
I had to click "Get Updates" button.
It was only on the target screen that I could choose to not follow the task.

GasBuddy - feedback?

GasBuddy asked me, "Do you like this app?" 

I chose Yes. Then it invited me to submit a comment or suggestion. I wanted to find cheap gas, so it wasn't the best time to ask me. Perhaps after I viewed a few prices and locations.
