Ratings and reviews

I want to use this app so badly! However, as an android user the only thing I can do is scroll so I haven't been active since last year. The app freezes/glitches whenever I try to make a post, the section of photos to choose from repeats the 6 most recent photos, regardless of which album I try to pick. I tried to give the app another try tonight and I couldn't select a photo at all. Based on previews reviews android users really struggle :(

I love the app and the idea behind it, but I wish there was a way to report a problem within the app. It's fairly glitchy and often doesn't work for me. Most recently, when I try to post a photo, either I can't click anything (tags, caption, etc) or if I do manage to post, it automatically zooms in really weird on my photo! So then I have to delete my post.

Update: I still want to love this app, but it's just not there yet. The updates since my original review in August 2022 have resolved some of the bugs with searching, following, and projects, but overall the usability is all over the place. I feel overwhelmed by all the different areas of the app that seem to kinda do the same thing? It's also a huge chore to enter a project when you also have to do ALL the data entry for each field. It'd be so much easier for me if the databases were prefilled.
