I'm usually quite bullish on Snap. They seem to be doing some things right. From the outside, they seem overstaffed so it's good to see them reducing headcount.

I'm usually quite bullish on Snap. They seem to be doing some things right. From the outside, they seem overstaffed so it's good to see them reducing headcount. The fact that they're rebuilding the android app completely sounds like a bad idea that will be a bit of a timesink.
- Ganz7 9y agoNope. Snapchat is almost unusable on Android right now. Compared to instagram's stories, which loads up in an instant, Snapchat takes its own sweet time. They made the mistake of not paying enough attention to android in the beginning. And now they are trying to fix their mistake. It is a timesink; but they brought it upon themselves.
- spurcell93 9y agoDitto. They did a big upgrade a few months (years?) back and yet my Nexus 6P takes literally 10+ seconds before Snapchat responds to touches. It's horrendous
- richardknop 9y agoAgreed. They need to up their Android game. This is a time sink for sure but it is absolutely necessary.
- afuchs 9y agoThe Android app crashes frequently and freezes up even more often. Have you tried using the app for an extended period of time? Instead of fixing each individual problem, they appear to have declared bankruptcy and are throwing out their old code.
