    Missing confirmation for destructive remove action

    Critical
    Destructive Action Without Safeguard (Confirm/Undo)
    The Problem
    The red circular minus buttons clearly indicate destructive 'remove' actions but there is no visible confirmation or undo option to prevent accidental removal.
    Why it Matters
    Users may accidentally remove items and lose tracking or configuration without a way to undo or confirm, leading to frustration and potential data loss.
    How to Fix
    Add a confirmation dialog or an undo option triggered immediately after the removal to safeguard from accidental destructive actions.

    Purple status text has insufficient contrast

    Moderate
    Color & Contrast
    The Problem
    The purple text label '已代理' next to app names like 哔哩哔哩 (Bilibili) and Google Play 商店 is a medium-light purple on a white background, likely failing WCAG AA for normal text.
    Why it Matters
    This may cause users to miss or misread important status information.
    How to Fix
    Darken the purple text or use a bolder font weight to improve contrast against the white background.

    Small text in data usage legend

    Moderate
    Content Readability & Clarity
    The Problem
    The app names below the data usage color blocks (e.g., 'Google Pla...', 'Google 服务框架', etc.) use a small font size which may reduce readability on smaller devices.
    Why it Matters
    Small and possibly truncated text can cause users difficulty in quickly scanning which app corresponds to which color, reducing effective comprehension of data usage.
    How to Fix
    Increase font size slightly and ensure full app names are visible or provide hover/pop-up tooltips.

    Close placement of colored dots under usage categories

    Moderate
    Accessibility & Input Ergonomics
    The Problem
    The colored dots are closely spaced, with minimal gaps between them, increasing the risk of accidental taps on adjacent items.
    Why it Matters
    Tightly packed interactive elements reduce tap accuracy and may lead to erroneous selections, decreasing user satisfaction.
    How to Fix
    Add more horizontal spacing between the colored dots to prevent overlap of touch areas.

    Red Minus Buttons Suggest Destructive Action Without Confirmation

    Moderate
    Tone, Friendliness & Delight
    The Problem
    The red circular minus buttons next to the apps imply a potentially destructive or permanent action, but no supporting copy or confirmation prompt is visible to reassure users or provide recovery options.
    Why it Matters
    Users may hesitate or feel anxious about accidentally removing apps or data usage blocks since the red color conventionally signals critical or irreversible actions without clear recovery guidance.
    How to Fix
    Provide an explanatory tooltip, confirmation dialog, or clearer labels indicating the consequence of pressing the red minus button to reassure users and reduce fear of loss.
