WARNING: Still In Beta?
My experience is the app repeatedly freezes, crashes, loses data, and trips up for certain promised functions.
Because of this, my impression is it still is in the Beta stage [meaning, a pre-release testing state and not yet in Alpha], and thus the developer is exploiting the app users as Guinea pigs.
It over-promises and under-performs from what I see, so I dont get the hype about it being the "next best thing". It isnt even a stable functioning "current thing" yet.
I like exploring innovative new apps, but not if it eats my data and wastes my time and money. That is a fruitless combination.
It is like going to the apple vendors stall at the open air market, but he picks apples from behind the pile of perfect fruit and puts these unseen ones in a brown paper bag under the table. You get home and find you only have useless bruised, rotting apples — so now you have to go back and argue over how you all you got was being ripped off. This is hardly the user experience anyone wants.
My conclusion:
- I dont trust this app with my data, because its track record is nowhere near that of more mature apps.
- I plan on erasing it after this review, because it is only hogging space on my device.
Does this sound too harsh? If the developer admitted it was in Beta and was unstable, but he still wanted people to pay him while he experimented on them, then at least that would be truth in advertising.
