1217242 - [FM-Radio] User will not expect tapping the star next to a favorited station to unfavorite/remove that station.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::FMRadio, defect)

Description

[Martin Shuman [:Marty]]

Attachment: logcat_FM-Radio_star_unfavorite.txt

Description:
If the user has a favorited stations, and they tap the yellow star next to the favorited station, that station will be removed from the station list.  There isn't any indication that tapping on the star will remove the favorited station.

The user may tap this, expecting the radio to tune to that station, or may just be tapping the station list item, happen to incidentally tap the star, and be confused why it disappeared instead of tuning (this is what happened to me.)

Note: This refers specifically to the stars next to each frequency listing in the Favorite Station list, and not the Favorite/Unfavorite star in the top right of the app.  The video URL demonstrates this.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame to 20151021064220
2) Plug in a pair of headphones and launch the FM Radio app
3) Tune to 99.9 MHz, and star that station
4) Tap the star next to the 99.9 MHz listing in the Favorite Stations area

Actual:
The 99.9 MHz favorite station will be removed from favorites.

Expected:
The Radio app will tune to the 99.9 MHz station.

No-Jun, is this by design? I think the reporter believes this could be confusing to the end user because tapping anywhere else around that favorite station changes it to that station.

I believe this is by design, since this behavior was from the beginning.  Perhaps there is a UX rationale behind it, pinging :tif for more info.

Chiming in for Tif here

I agree that this behaviour is unclear. Temporarily, I think we should remove this function and just let the user remove the radio station through the star button at the top. 

Right now its unclear that tapping the star will remove your favourites and its a bit destructive in the sense that you can easily accidentally remove your stations.
