UX Fail 8

The wrong field types are preventing me from continuing...

The difference between check boxes and radio buttons is an important one.

It may seem trivial but the difference between check boxes and radio buttons is a big one! A check box is used when more than one option can be selected; whereas a radio button is for only allowing a single option. This iPhone app presented me with a choice - one that I wasn't able to complete because they were prividing me with the wrong answers! Poor, poor UX.

The solution

Use the right form input fields!
