About this app

Backers on Kickstarter are passionate, creative visionaries that find joy and connection in funding new ideas and bringing them to life. Discover projects in categories like art, design, film, games, hardware, and music, then pledge to your favorites right from the app. Make the world a more creative and innovative place while receiving awesome (and often exclusive) rewards.

Creators can use the app to keep up with their own projects on the go, as well as stay in touch with their backers.

With the Kickstarter app, you can:

• Join like-minded backers to help make new ideas a reality.
• Stay connected with updates from projects you’ve backed.
• Save your favorites and get reminders before projects end.

Project creators can stay up to date from anywhere:

• Easily track your funding progress.
• Keep up with comments and pledges.
• Post updates and respond to backer messages.

Ratings and reviews

The app is mostly fine, but the fact that you: 1. Cant send new messages. (Why is this a thing?) and 2. The fact that the activity section is a small icon in the top right instead of in the app menu (been using the app for a while and only just noticed it there). The first one however is why i can't recommend the app over an in browser experience as this lack of functionality makes the app useless in projects that require messages to be exchanged between creators and backers.

I like using this app, it nicely layed out, but there are a few things i find frustrating. Replys to any comment appear chronologically with the comments, so I see a bunch of replies with no idea as to which comments they're referring to. The campaign page is clean, but i would like to be able to zoom in, its hard to read or make sense of some picture sometimes. Otherwise it's great.

The Comments section is a mess. Everything appears in chronological order, making it impossible to follow a conversation or reply to a particular question. Also, as a Contributor to a project, the app doesn't provide any access to the dashboard or other tools. Basically useless except to browse projects randomly.
