 Thats a tough question! I wish I could think of something, but its a world of duplication out there 🤨

 I know! I'm wracking my brain and it's so hard to come up with them. 

The ones that do come to mind actually had terrible interfaces 😂

But they were a window into a virtual world I had a deep understanding of, and as terrible as the UI was, I could always do what I needed to to act in that world.

 I mean, I hate to say it but I always think Uber does a great job.

The UX does what it needs to do, and gets ahead of tasks you need to complete as you go through the process. The nailed the standard ride experience.

- Open app, "Where you going"
- "Heres the rate"
- Pick
- "Hey, your driver is here"
- Ride
- "Hey, you want to tip in advance?" 
- End journey
- Next time you open the app "Hey, how was the last ride"
- Rate
- Repeat

The happy path is a well oiled machine, Id say this is an examlpe where I almost forget about the UI even exsisting.

 That is a pretty good example. I don't think I've ever had an issue with using the Uber app and taking Uber rides. At least in terms of the app itself. And all I can say about the interface is that it's Uber's interface, and there's nothing else really like it.
