Not so trivial

Transitioning from the meet up platform to the app temporarily lost me as a member of the group. Not so trivial to use at all, have to dig in to find the information, reminders/updates not coming through… I definitely have to work extra to stay connected. Meetup worked better for me.

Too Much Unnecessary Information

The app isn’t easy to use. Even with the updates the first thing users see are activities happening in states we don’t live in.
Recommendations and Featured Content should be on secondary pages, not taking up three-fourths of the Home page.
If the purpose of the app is for the Black community to gather together, why aren’t all upcoming events visible on the Home page and in calendar order? Why do we need to hunt for them? Also, is anyone tracking event attendance since the creation of the app? It’s so difficult to use that we’ve seen a decline in scheduling/attendance in our area.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Can you make sure your app is on the latest version? You should see an option to exit the internal post-trip survey that the app asks users to complete. If you're still havin an issue, can you reach out to our team at sf@outdoorafro.org? We'd love to help! Please note that the review/feedback the app was asking for is not public but internal. Thank you!

After Hike Survey

Please include an option to opt out of an event survey. There’s no button to close the survey. These should not be mandatory.

App isn’t User Friendly

Finding and connecting with other outdoor Black people has been just as difficult as it’s always been since Outdoor Afro left Meetup. Their new app isn’t user friendly and very few events are hosted. There’s just a bunch of information about things you can do, which doesn’t help you meet other Black people.
