Grapevine app on android feels difficult to use

General experience just sucks. Not to mention the random bugs with the feed and when you load the app for the first time. Do the founders not give a shit anymore?

Anyone else think google pay needs a major redesign?

While I get that the app still looks very on brand, canā€™t help but feel how impractical and unoptimised the homescreen has become. 30% of the first fold used for an illustration nobody can recall, even if they open the app 10 times a day. (You can try recalling now and see what i mean) Minor, but the icons seem to have mixed stroke weights and an unnatural blend of sharp and round corners. Perhaps adding a ā€œcheck bank balanceā€ button on the first fold will he useful since this is a payment app and all. No point hiding it somewhere else. Currently, the People section precedes the Businesses section. Once a user taps on the down arrow on people, the list expands to multiple folds and it becomes extremely tiresome to scroll all the way down to collapse the section to access the rest of the page. Instead, why not have tabs for People and businesses, side by side. The tab could have a search button within it to easily find contacts. Currently, the search button is all the way on the header and disappears on scroll. Showing photos and business of people is certainly helpful, but why not make a table that has a card that shows the profile pic, the last payment you sent to them, when you sent it and even a CTA for quick pay. Currently one needs two taps to pay someone. Bills can have better prominence somewhere on a difference section and could even use an floating bar type of component that shows up towards the bottom of a screen when bills are due. (Similar to what swiggy uses to show ā€œyour food is being preparedā€) It might remind a user that certain bills are due in X days And by god use the rest of the page to show the user some stats on how they spent money. I for one would consistently use the app that showed me my spending breakup. Tell user they spent x% more on food this month, compared to last or some such. And throw the offer & promotion section away. Its not 2018. Aint nobody playing games on here either.

Should Grapevine community gatekeep the posts now onwards ?

Hey Folks, On the onset , I would like to welcome all the new members who joined Grapevine over last few days. Grapevine is a nice platform and I really hope all of you will enjoy great conversations and viewpoint on this community . Now to the point why gatekeeping might become essential : I heard some days back , a good man on YouTube posted a video telling his fans about this awesome community. That is why you might have seen outburst of ā€˜ this is a nice platform ā€˜ posts on Grapevine. They also thank him in the body of the post xD. Honestly , I am fed up of this non sense posts And my timeline is already cluttered due to this. Now his followers will start highjacking the community. Right now , this being a professional platform , the posts were interactive and decent to read. Now donā€™t be surprised if you see posts irrelevant to the community. I remember same thing happening with r/developersIndia community some years back and right now , that sub is kinda dead and have repetitive kind of questions which can easily be found if you have taken the effort to search for the posts. Secondly, I wonā€™t be surprised in case their is a difference of opinion with the Guru , people or his followers will start you bashing left , right and centre. I know this post sounds rude and entitled since everyone should have fair opportunity in life , but definition of fair varies as well. Iā€™m very interested in knowing the POV of everyone involved here - may be I am over thinking. But would appreciate your thoughts on this .
