Comment on Xiaomi's timer app tries to be cool and fails at functionality.

I am pretty sure spin dials constitute torture according to the Geneva convention and Cruel and Unusual Punishment according to the US Constitution.
I am particularly salty at the stupid spinners for year when you have to enter birth year. I am old enough that it takes a minute to scroll to my birth year, and every second of it I hate the person that decided spinners are a great UI. Entering a date by keyboard takes 10 seconds, and the spinners multiply that time without providing any advantage.

Those suck. Even worse are the calendars that force you to scroll by month (or hide the secret menu to pop up the year selection.)
Just let me enter a date!

I forgot about those! Enter birth day: pops up monthly calendar of January 2026, and you cry trying to figure out how to scroll back in time.
