Ratings and reviews

I wish the UI was simplified into basic and advanced actions. Many simple elements are buried in various menus. So, unless you use it all the time, it takes a while to find what you need. It's definitely not very friendly toward new users. Having said that. overall, Discord allows for great communication channels and groups, it's very stable, and does what it set out to do.

Still having issues with notifications they "marked as read", "reply" and "mute" tabs are not showing up most of the time, but also now when tapping an image you can slide to view all the images in that message, you have to go out every time. It seems that they first tried to do their own thing now basically trying to turn the app into PC but that creates issues on a small screen.

It pains me to say that I had to edit my 5-star review because of the recent UI changes. It was perfect as it was before, but things are more difficult to navigate now, and switching from DMs to servers takes substantially more time. The PC version of Discord has the old, better UI, and it's jarring to use Discord on PC, then switch to mobile and have a completely different UI. Would love to see an option to switch back to the old UI if possible.
