App just doesn’t work

App crashes and I can’t click on anything. Good concept. Hopefully it starts working someday so I can update this review.

App doesn’t work

Nothing on the UI is clickable or works. Just stuck on the “You haven’t connected with other creatives” screen.

Won’t let me sign in, “Get Started” button doesn’t work

It’s broken. I got the “founding creative” thing hoping it would be an investment but I can’t even sign in

4/14/24 PLEASE READ

I want to say that I love the premise of the app: a centralized social platform that connects creatives from all types of fields and interests. Additionally, the Meta video ads I saw on IG were stylish and eye-catching. As a writer, marketing professional, and musician, I have been looking for a place to connect with people to work on creative projects together that isn’t special interest Discord servers, IG, and other pre-existing platforms. However, I also know this app is a WIP and hope this review proves useful to devs. I have given the app a 5-star rating to give it a boost in the App Store for my support, but please read below. I don’t know if my suggestions have already been implemented since I haven’t yet had enough time to thoroughly explore everything (due to a huge glaring issue), so this is based on my short time interacting with the app.

The Huge Glaring Issue:
For context, I’m using an iPhone 12 on the latest iOS update (17.4.1). The app itself is very rough around the edges. Installed on Day One and worked ok. Navigating through menus was a bit choppy. However, now the app is freezing and refusing to switch between pages until ultimately crashing.

User Experience:
Not much content, but that’s to be expected on launch. Additionally, while I understand the intention behind adding details and context to posts, (imagining from a casual user’s standpoint) it would seem somewhat daunting to upload with all the available fields to fill. I get that this is an app for creatives, but If someone wants to add additional information or fields, that would be a different story. Once I have the app up-and-running again, I will make more assessments on its features.

Some Suggestions:
Photo Metadata: Having the option to display/hide already existing metadata like camera used and settings would be a nice touch - especially for professionals/hobbyists wanting to compare gear. Additionally, it might be nice for people wanting to break into the scene to get some insight on what photographers are using.

Suggested Content Feed on Launch/Initial Setup: When setting up the app, there was a part where I chose my interests, but I think it could have been utilized right at the beginning when going to the homepage. Curating suggested content based on the interests I chose would give the app a livelier feel and a starting point with finding content that I specifically want to see.

My Links: Considering this app is a way for creatives to connect with other creatives, I think it would be nice to have an intuitively designed profile page that has all my links (Github, Soundcloud, DevArt, Muckrack, etc.). That way, it can become my “sitemap” that I can show to other people by sharing my profile link/QR code (like linktree or allmylinks).

Not sure what this is supposed to be.

When this was advertised it looked like an interesting platform, I am an artist and have a lot of colleagues in the industry, apart from having to enter all my personal information, there is nothing happening, you can’t click on anything and nothing happens. If you do see an image it looks like instagram from 2010. I don’t know what this platform was supposed to look like or be, but don’t ask for a lot of personal information and then have a half baked platform.

Update

Hi,
I am very interested in that app from very beginning, I wish you all the best with finalizing the project, i just downloaded the beta version but it seems like it crashes after logging me in, at the first main screen (with + button in the bottom middle) and i can’t click anything.

So far so Good!! Kinda

Very amazing layout, vibe and overall app. Is it new and still has some bugs… yes. as of current, the app has a hard time loading at all.

Stuck

I did the login process but now the app has been stuck saying that I have not connected with any creatives and I cannot clock any buttons on the toolbar.

Hmm…

Logged in and made an account and the app doesn’t have anything on it and I can’t click through the menus

Note to Devs: Frozen Bugs

Unfortunately the app is frozen at launch after creating a profile. Stuck on the page “You Haven’t connected with other Creatives”
