It's a selfie app. There is absolutely zero reason for there to be a learning curve. It shouldn't be hard for a company with almost 2000 employees to develop an actually functioning and accessible UX.
- Cyph0n 9y agoDude, don't disagree with the 15 year old! /s I agree completely, Snapchat is a horrendously designed app, especially when compared to an extremely intuitive one like Instagram. It's a miracle youngsters are fine with the learning curve since kids are getting less patient when it comes to learning nowadays. I guess the stories and filters were worth the trouble? Who knows. In general, I think that Snap is one of the luckiest unicorns out there. Also, the fact that they have yet to come up with a new product -- other than those silly glasses -- does not help their case much.
- wellboy 9y agoWhat's so difficult about it? You have swipable 3 tabs, messages, camera and stories. Is that so complicated?
- komali2 9y agoWhen you get a snap, after watching it, you can click "reply." That opens a camera. You have to tap to the left of "reply" to actually open a chat. I find that to be unexpected behavior, given especially that I make the mistake literally every time. How do you get to "settings?" I just opened the app. I see the snapchat logo in the top left, a... search bar? For searching what? Who knows. There's what's probably the flash icon, probably a switch camera icon. Then there's a messages bubble, and a... bubble with three dots... Also there's a bubble right underneath the biggest bubble (camera take picture button I assume) with what looks like... a picture? God knows what that does. I click it. It's memories. Great, not sure why i'd need to see that but fine. Back, messages bubble. Messages, cool. Back, three dot bubble. Stories. Riiiight. Still no settings. "My story" has a settings icon but that's something else. Back, ghost button. Holy shit a settings icon. Got it!
