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.

2024-06-18	Ju*****	Overall great app, but it's frustrating that if I'm in an article and click a link in that article, when I go back to the app then it crashes/refreshes and I have to find the article again and scroll to my position again. Apps like Twitter and reddit don't do this on my device. Also, you can swipe left from the featured tab to go to feed but you can't swipe right from feed to go to featured. Just a few random UI bugs like this. Filters also don't work at all.

2023-12-31	Su*****	The hashnode platform is great but the app has a major issue. In some phones, when I try to open the app, the phone screen just starts flickering rapidly and the phone needs a restart to be functional again. Please fix this issue, as it totally ruins the experience of using this platform.
