Ratings and reviews

Wasn't too bad at first, but over time, the app has become more and more unusable over time. I have encountered more bugs, such as Discord automatically rotating when remixing images. Discord also crashes/restarts a *lot* whenever I try to send images. I used to use this app a lot, but over time, I've been using the mobile version less and less due to these bugs not being fixed. I can't wait for a worthy competition.

As someone who has been using Discord since 2016, and the mobile app since around 2017, the mobile app sucks. Just a few examples of bad design: When in a call, to bring up the buttons to mute/unmute, you have to tap a specific part of the screen, and even then it feels inconsistent. Annoying when someone is talking to you and you are trying to unmute. Also, I can't turn the volume to zero with my phones volume buttons... which would be fine if there was a DEAFEN next to the mute on mobile.

It used to be great, but two months ago, I lost the ability to use DMs on the phone app (using samsung galaxy s20). Whenever I try to use it, the app freezes, and I have to restart it. I have cleared the cache, restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled, and did a soft reset of my phone all multiple times and in different combinations. Nothing works. The only thing I have not tried is a full factory reset, and that's because I don't want to spend hours reconfiguring my phone.
