App is frustrating to use; not user friendly – DeviantArt Review

Honestly, I recommend going to the website than download this. Everything is counterintuitive and exceptionally difficult to use. The app isn’t optimized for landscape submissions, neither for device size or resolution. Images appear to fit in the center but not to the dimensions of the device you’re using. There is no good swipe left, right, up or down and it took me longer than usual to understand that if I wanted to look at the artist’s description I have to literally tap the menu bar on the bottom, hold and pull up to the top of the screen to read. Do you want to look at the submission and the description at the same time? Unfortunate. Not to mention, but where you’re swiping up determines what you’re looking at, whether it’s comments, favoriting, etc. It’s frustrating to swipe up the wrong direction halfway through and comments start loading when I’m only interested in the description. As well, tapping the star icon to add to favorites also brings up that menu bar even when it’s not desired. Submitting is another confusing task. I wasn’t made aware that I could add tags, but I was sure to know that I could mention other DA users! Very useless to me. If I am uploading, I am interested in an easy to understand at a second’s notice UI, not a game of where to find what you need without it taking forever. It’s an ok app, but it makes me more frustrated every time I open it and sometimes I regret even using it. Please make the app more user friendly and create an intuitive UI. Thank you and God bless.
