The "indicator of menu's presence" in Android is .. well, better than the indicator of scrollable pages? The issues in Android are countless indeed.

Lollipop flashes the tiny scrollbar on the right in scrollable panes for a second (or less?), before disappearing. I cannot count how many times I just didn't realize I never saw options because the content was cut exactly between two lines. Despite knowing this fact, I regularly miss scrollable panes, even on dialogs I visited before.

The ample (absurd) margins around all controls don't help. They made large (unpocketable) phone screens too small to display actual content!

The last discovery was the red-on-blue color in the clock, which has awful readability.

I never saw any worse as far as UI is concerned, even disregarding the seriously questionable "material design" concept, which might just as well be called "style", as there's no usability designed into it at all.

The bar was always quite low, but has been lowered even further.
