## Review summary

Users appreciate Hashnode's platform and UI for reading and writing tech blogs. However, many report frequent app crashes, slow load times, and glitches that disrupt experience. Login via email link instead of direct app sign-in frustrates some. The editor on the app lacks features present on the web. Users notice UI inconsistencies, missing dark mode options, and device-specific issues like screen flickering. Overall, the app has a solid base but requires significant performance improvements and feature enhancements to match the website's reliability and user experience.

### Pros

- Great user interface and overall platform convenience.
- Good for reading technical blogs and content.
- Dark mode and UI design are appreciated.
- Platform is good for developers, tech writers, and bloggers.
- Compatible with passionate developer community.

### Cons

- App crashes frequently, especially when opening blog space or navigating back from links.
- Loading issues: feeds, articles, drafts often fail to load properly.
- Performance issues: slow opening, hanging, glitching, freezing when scrolling fast.
- Frequent bugs and glitches spoil user experience contrary to the smoother website.
- Problems with login flow: sign-in requires email link and does not stay within the app.
- Lack of important features in the mobile editor compared to the web version (e.g., hyperlinking, code blocks).
- UI issues: large fonts reducing content view, incomplete swipe gestures, and improper navigation.
- No dark mode option or difficulty finding it in the app.
- Phone-specific issues like screen flickering on app launch causing device restart.
