Gotta say, it's weird seeing a iOS interface on an Android device XD, but it feels very smooth and polished, especially for a web app.

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, that's why the interface felt so weird.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did it feel weird? I had Apollo when I was on iOS and I felt it pretty great.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah we know that (almost) everyone who used iOS had Apollo, it's been kind of obvious with the barrage of comments. However, there's no Apollo for android and tbh I kinda hate the iOS feel it has, so if someone says that it feels/felt weird, chances are that they are an android user.

That's what I'm seeing, honestly to me it looks and behaves great, the only downside is that it is a PWA and it doesn't feel as fast and polished as stock apps.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And that's because you used Apollo. The context of this particular chain is that it felt weird for android users, because it has an iOS feel, and they answered that that's why it felt weird, so it's impossible that they used to use Apollo, since they were an android user.

I am not used to Apple interface so it was just clunky and weird, yes

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a iOS user, same could be said about Android. It looks bad and is unintuitive to use for me. It's about ecosystems and people getting used to one thing over the other!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely. Personally Liftoff is the client I am currently using and liking.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'd say weird, clunky I don't think so.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's a great app but the iOS interface is keeping me from really using it. It just doesn't feel natural on Android.
