If there is one category of bugs that drive me nuts beyond anything else, it got to be buggy or unreliable notification badges.

Some of my favorites are:

• When you can’t figure out how to clear all or one of them
• When they clear when you just open the app
  • Even worse: that state is reset the next time a notification happens and you get the old number + 1
• When you have to restart the app for it to update properly, sometimes
• When in an messaging app they count number of unread “entries” not the number of “conversations” that has something unread.
  • If I send you 5 messages it would increase the count by 5
