Literally just a worse version of Quora
(which is already bad to begin with)Has Potential, Get this App!!
So far, I have made $40 from this app. In order to do this I’ve answered several questions a day for the last few weeks. I get them throughout the day and usually promptly respond.
Here’s a few areas I think Throw can improve
1. Steak counter. It says I’m on a 4 day streak every day, however I probably have a 30 day streak. I’ve answered multiple questions (usually 8+) for the last several weeks.
2. Rating system. The star system and rating system feels very strange. I’d really like to have some transparency on how this works, especially when I’m paying for boosts on occasion. It seems that it’s somewhat arbitrary and unclear. I was rated 4.3 stars and ranked 43rd or something, even though I’ve never came across someone with a higher rating. I wanted to boost myself to get close to 5 stars, so I launched to boosts. I got great reviews on these boosts, but the next day I was put down to a 3.9 star rating. Its very strange, and it would be cool if I can see my what metrics I need to achieve a higher rating.
3. Broken Throws. Sometimes users send throws that can’t be answered because they aren’t questions, there is no way to answer in the app (though I suspect this was fixed), or because they selected a strange answer medium (I.e. picture). Of course a large amount of these throws are reportable, but some are in a gray area and I don’t want to risk a false report penalty
4. Payment. I think payment should be overhauled. It needs to be more merit based. This one is HUGE. It’s very strange to me that poll answers pay the same as my 750 character answers. It’s also strange that it costs the same. I think users should be able to poll 25 people for 30 cents. I also think I should get payed an initial amount of 14 cents or whatever for long for answers, but receive additional payment for likes. Another idea is to receive extra bonus payment if the thrower hearts yours. There could even be a special symbol by it like how YouTube has the creator heart. There needs to be WAY MORE incentive for quality answers. People are PAYING for answers when they could get them for free on Reddit or similar, so let’s create a space where answers are always high quality.
5. Skips and overly technical questions. There is a problem I’ve noticed on this app where people ask very technical questions related to their field or something. Lazy catchers reply “idk” or give some otherwise incomplete or incorrect answer. You need to encourage skipping questions that are too technical so someone who can answer them will. A little popup that says “tap skip if this throw is too technical.” Or discourage questions that are technical and remind users that throw is for relationship and life questions or something.
The last thing is that this app needs to grow! We need more users! This app could truly flourish with more users. I would estimate there is only a few hundred regular users. We need thousands and thousands. Get this app!
Anyways these are the things I’ve been considering lately. Hire me or something haha!Can’t be real
Can’t get anything to load. When I click on something to answer and ad pops up. Am I getting paid for the ad too? Doubtful. Feels very bad to use. who cares what gender. Should have the option to not answer as it doesn’t effect my ability to answer different questions. Seemed like a cool idea even if we didn’t get paid for it, too bad the app doesn’t work.
