DeviantArt

I love the app most of the time, but if there was one thing I'd like to change it would be this: I wish the app could allow me to save drafts of my fanfictions and allow me to edit them even after they've been published. It's very frustrating that I can't correct a simple error in my work (I am human and sometimes autocorrect messes up what I was trying to say. Ex. I type 'front' and it somehow thinks that I want to say 'from'. But I wish I could save some of my fanfics on my phone so I can return to them. I know I can correct them on the computer; but unfortunately, my computer is slow as dirt. And it freezes every so often. Also the other problem with no being able to save your work is that: I can't make a rough draft and take a break from it to finish it later. Sometimes I need a break from writing so I can gather more ideas. I'm only human and I've been faced with writer's block. So I implore the creators of this app to try and create some way to save our work on our accounts no matter what platform we are using.

The DeviantArt app has multiple bugs and issues throughout. If all you want to do is look at art, this app is totally fine. Whenever you want to get just a *teensy* bit more advanced, though... First of all, the sharing feature is broken. You can copy the link of some art, but from what I’ve tried that’s basically all that works. The share sheet freezes the moment you try to summon it, and you can’t download artwork either. It says you can, but actually pressing the button will do nothing. I *did* give it access to my photos and videos; it still doesn’t do anything. Maybe it’s an app-exclusive download, and you use the share sheet to save something to your photos, but unfortunately in that case the share sheet is still broken. Also, when uploading art, you cannot change the display size, meaning it’ll most likely be stuck at a ridiculously low resolution until you hop on a computer, or even the web version of mobile DA, and fix it. Speaking of the web version, isn’t it funny how that version is way more functional than the app? TL:DR if you only want to view others’ art, and that’s WITHOUT being able to save them to your phone, this app works. For the people actually uploading art... it’s frustrating, to say the least.

So I've been on deviantart for around 7 months now and it's a great service it allows people to easily share their art and gather a following, however this is not what the app should be. There are so many features missing from the app that are vital for getting the most out of the experience. As far as browsing goes it's great! You can search up anything you want and switch categories with ease. However it's from the creator's side that this is lacking it is impossible to find groups via the app as well as see things like badges, llamas, or that you're able to sell prints. For the first few months I had only used the app and I didn't even know that these features existed until one of my friends who had been on there for a long time told me about them. So basically this app is fine if you are just using it to see notifications on the go or something like that but not for posting work and sharing on groups ( two things that are quite vital to finding people that like your stuff )

Thie mobile version of the website is, overall, alright; you are able to view profiles, yours and others, and look over your notifications, but it is only the feedback that you are able to delete. One thing I have noticed is that once you edit your personal info, such as your tagline, directly from the app, the deviantID widget is—if you haven't already done so—added to your profile when you view it on the computer. It can be quite annoying. You also seem to be unable to delete or edit your deviations/statuses from the app, as if they were read-only documents. This can be quite inconvenient, especially if you want to edit or delete your post and don't have a computer near you. I have checked the updates, and it seems that this has not been updated in two years. Now, that is an awfully long time to leave it be when it has all this potential to become a better mobile version of DeviantArt, as guided by the reviews given to the app. It will not, if the developers are unwilling to take these reviews into consideration.

This app would be awesome if it wasn't for one thing... Crashing. This has been a problem for me for a while now, but it has recently just gotten ridiculous. Right when I got this app, it would crash maybe once every 10 minutes. But recently, it would get to the rate of maybe 7 crashes in 5 minutes. One time after it had just crashed, I got back on it. The only thing I did was go to my favorites and it crashed again. Please fix this because this app is awesome and I love it, but all these crashes just get very annoying and infuriating. I'm sure others can agree, too. Also, the art or literature would sometimes not load. When I search something in the search bar, I would wait maybe 10 seconds for most of the art to load and start scrolling. But maybe 1 out of 5 times, the whole page would just be full of black squares. So, I would have to exit out of the page and search it up again and hope that it loads and/or the app doesn't crash while I am able to access the content. Please fix, I'm suffering
