Good choice, I've just tried their Android version and it's absolute bug-city to the extent that I'm unsure if they engaged in any real Android user testing / dog fooding at all.
In onboarding, the crop function simply did not work at all, showing a hyper-zoomed version of the image and then discarding the view when creating the final image.
In onboarding, twice (in three minutes total of usage) I was presented with a totally white screen. No UI. No back button functionality. Nothing on screen. Nothing to do. Only option: force close the app. It appears to happen after EVERY single step in onboarding is complete. Once after photo/basic profile, once after location.
Yes, I was required to force close the app _twice_ in three minutes of usage.
Criticism: Only 5 "personas"? Really? I was forced to unselect a number subjects very dear to me because apparently I'm too diverse for a social network????
And now the "join personas" button is failing, it attempts to bring up the onboarding menu but fails, dropping back to the already-completed personas menu over and over. I'll force close the app myself.
If you wanted free QA, you could have at least been honest with us about this being a total beta test. I wonder if the developers are in this thread. I bet they all use iPhone...
But since this is apparently released software, as a tester and developer myself I am deeply concerned with the state of your backend, based on the quality of your front end development.
