Mostly a really good app. It's missing a bunch of functionality from desktop, which is normal but disappointing. Largest missing feature I've noticed recently is a lack of comments on Update posts, but it's just generally harder to search or explore (because the website is good, not because the app is bad)

It looks like a nice interface, but the app is unreliable, often failing to sync and stalling. It offers no substantive advantage over using the website. Instead of just getting email updates that prompt to visit the website, I get the email, and an app alert as well. Tapping on app alerts frequently loads the app, which either stalls, or opens my web browser, which re-opens the app, which re-opens the browser, where I can finally read whatever the message was.

Barely functional for browsing. Navigation is a mess. There is no direct tab for backed projects, it's part of "saved projects" somehow. You cannot navigate from the activity feed to the actual project the notification is from. Trying to pay by credit card that uses verification from inside the app doesn't work, you need to do that in the browser. A lot of wasted potential and frustration with the app.
