I'm into it. I see that a lot of content is either relevant to US/English speaking dads, or hard to understand to "those other" dads, but still see some nice content I can relate to. There is definitely a room for it and I love the attempt to create community. Would love to see such thing in my native tongue.
I fully agree on that "a blog and a forum, but in an app" opinion, but I still like that. It's hard to find sites that provides a lot of resources in clear form, even if paid. Sites with clickbaity titles with barely any content and ads on 70% of the page is becoming a on my local sites. I miss old school forums and simple web pages. I browse on mobile a lot and haven't seen more then 3-4 mobile friendly sites that were actually mobile friendly, so an app suits me.
I absolutely hate navigation and all negatives I found are UI related.
- Swipe left on every paragraph? A big no!
- It's not comfortable (physically) to do that all the time. I haven't really used an app that requires that, ever.
- It's hard to grasp larger context (especially when using second language)
- There is no way of copying text - oh come on, how am I supposed to use a dictionary, or send part of text (the app sends the whole screen)?
- Many places requires using the "x" button at the very top. Sorry, it's around 7 years since a had a phone where I could do that with one hand.
- It displays "full screen", hiding my system-native navigation buttons, so I can't get out of settings easily.
- It's even worse when reading an article - system navigation "back" button does nothing. That is just too aggressive for me.
- There is a "like"/heart button on every page, but it's hard to tell what it does. I found it eventually, but by accident. It also doesn't say where is the "card" I liked - what article was that from?
Also I find it a bit too expensive, as this will not be anything I'm relying on. I would prefer it to be one time payment, not a subscription. I know, I know, "it's just $3" (or whatever it is, I see my local currency), but to be honest I have way to many "just $3" apps and services already and am not going to invest in any more of them. It's slightly more expensive then lowest google drive/one subscription. For me a one time payment is easier to control and accept, as it feels more like buying a newspaper or book.
- pbarondadditude 5y agoThanks for all the thoughtful feedback. Some great food for thought and some quick fixes needed immediately. Grateful.
- pbarondadditude 5y agoThanks (!!) for sharing all this thoughtful feedback. I promise to reply later.
- szszrk 5y agoAwesome. I see now that lack of "back" button support is everywhere. This means that I need to use both top left and top right side, even to navigate through forum posts, which are often short. So all the time.
- pbarondadditude 5y agowill fix this asap.
