How To Ruin a PERFECTLY Decent App – Equalizer+ Music amp & Podcast Review

Equalizer was one of my favorite apps, i’ve been using it for years. It’s never been problematic, nor has it been difficult to navigate or use, so I was shocked to pull up the app and see that they have fundamentally changed every single aspect of how this application functions, and none of these changes are objectively better. ———————- HOW TO RUIN AN APP 1. Completely change the UI, to such a drastic extent that it in no way feels similar to what people have been using for years. 2. Decrease accessibility, connectivity, and functionality so that it becomes a Herculean task just to find the music in your library. 3. Add two or three additional steps, just so that users have to spend an extra 30 seconds navigating menus just to find a single song. 4. And have the app feel fundamentally different in every possible way to confuse the user and in sure that they won’t have a good time using your app. ——————- At the end of the day, this application is so incredibly different post-update that I really can’t find a single reason why they just didn’t make an entirely new app and leave the old app as is. And we should not have to send the developer issues that we’re having with the app, when all the developer had to do was leave the app alone because it was perfectly fine as it was. If you want to make people happy how about you just revert the app to how it was before the patch/update. In the future you should maybe test the waters, and do more QA testing so that you won’t have this issue. Because it’s terribly sad to see someone sync their own app for no reason.
