jankiest

Least polished, buggiest

Jankiest is the superlative of janky, meaning the most poorly made, unreliable, or sketchy.

Janky describes things that are broken, dubious, or held together with the equivalent of duct tape and prayer: That's the jankiest car I've ever seen—the door is tied shut with rope.

Common in informal American speech, especially online.
