I tried hey and was put off by its bulbous, fisher-price UI. Signing up and having to press "next" after every single bit of information they collected should have been my first clue at the brain-dead thinking that went into this product.

About the UI -- Why is there a trend in designers to add padding to an interface as a disguise for limited features? It's like, does a button really need to to take up half the screen? Oh yeah, that's right, it does if you only have a single feature.

Even the name is annoying. Hey is what you say to get someone's attention in dating app.

Bit of an exaggeration. Extra padding on buttons is more to do with enabling an increased hitbox for mobile and touch users, what with fingers being less precise than mice.
