Stand In Pride

Love the idea of this project. It’s an unfortunately necessary resource, even in this day and age. However, the app is borderline completely unusable. Half the tabs do not move/scroll - they’re oftentimes stuck and I can’t navigate to other locations on the tab. This is more so a product of social media’s impact on collective action rather than a flaw of the app itself, but there are far more individuals ‘there for support’ than those in need (to an overwhelming extent). It’s a little dispiriting to scroll through the app and not feel like you’re needed there due to the over saturation of one demographic. I worry it could chase away those who need support due to the eagerness of those who are there for comfort and looking for just one person to offer help to. Also, the wrong form of “you’re/your” is used during signup when asking for a bio… The small things don’t seem to be tied up well overall.

I can’t scroll down or click anything on the first tab along the bottom, the refreshing thing that happens at the top of the screen wigs out my device clock/battery bar, and I don’t seem to be able to see the post that I just made. 😅 The community seems nice though. There are definitely some creepy older men that need to read the room and not call someone beautiful on a post requesting empathy but, you can’t win at everything, am I right? The interface feels pretty natural, the connections made on here feel real/organic. The intended function is lovely and decently well executed but it’s falling short on technical aspects, and could maybe do with more Mods.

I have been a member of the facebook group for a year or two now and have met some of the most wonderful people in the world thanks to this community. I have high expectations and a lot of respect for Mr. Blevins. I was so excited to see that there’s an app! However like any new app it’s a little buggy... It needs some tweaking. Some of those things include: Notifications: It varies from having to hunt down where the notification came from to getting notified for every single comment even if it’s not directed at me all the way to not getting notified at all especially if it’s a message only to discover it hours later. Group approval: Waiting almost a week+ after making a new group and still haven’t heard anything on approval or denial. Unable to delete posts, comments, or messages that are no longer relevant. There’s more but this is off the top of my head. As I mentioned every new app is buggy so I’m more than happy to update my review once this is no longer an issue for the majority of users! This app has the potential to be phenomenal and help so many people! I can’t wait to see where it goes.
