Ratings and reviews

Has a nicely designed UI, is functional. Great to have the app on this platform now. Encountered small bug when creating a channel; clicking "Done" triggered no response despite multiple tries/waiting. I closed and re-entered the details and it worked then. An important feature to consider in further development is attaching files (from device storage). Currently, I see the option to take a photo, attach an image, or paste a link. Thanks!

Really love Are.na's concept and the desktop experience is great. Unfortunately the mobile app, at least on Android 12, is so slow it makes it hard to know if the app is working or not. Often times a search or block will just be a blank black screen for 10-15 seconds which makes browsing and ideating near impossible. Hopefully it gets streamlined soon!

So it's basically Pinterest but you can add extra info to each item. That's fine, not for me but all good. However, it's also unbearably slow. When I open a public channel I need to wait 30-60s to see content and then when I scroll down I have to wait again. Someone needs to set up a CDN maybe?
