Ratings and reviews

I loved Mix and then I decided to update and now it's no where near as good! They changed the layout, put the bottons over top of the content (before it was underneath), made it severely favor right-handed users, changed the video slider so you can't see how long a video is, clogged up the tags when you swipe left... So disappointing. You guys sent me an offer, as a frequent user, to interview me, and now I wish I could go back and tell you that you done made some poor decisions.

The core idea and experience behind the app is solid. I like that not only can I see beautiful imagery but find interesting information. I also love that because you can't post comments there is not constant drama on the app. Two issues, if you watch a video, sometimes it freezes or worse, the video's audio keeps playing while you flip through the app. Second issue is that people just throw as many tags as they can on posts, meaning half the time the picture has nothing to do with the tags.

I have mixed feelings about... Mix. On one hand, I love the concept, but functionality is a problem! This app is unituitive, and should improve in a few ways: 1. We should be able to zoom in on images easily. Infographics are worthless on this app. 2. There should be a save button next to the like button. I thought I was saving posts by liking them, but now they're just. Gone. 3. Links to articles should go DIRECTLY to the article, instead of rerouting to pintrest, and it should take one tap.
