Reddit mentions of Android Design Patterns: Interaction Design Solutions for Developers

I tried out the app, I've got a few suggestions.

First time I ran it, the app froze on the splash screen. While the picture is nice and all, is there really any reason for you to have a splash screen?

Next, I found the fact that I had to register before being able to use the app super annoying. If you haven't already read Android Design Patterns: Interaction Design Solutions for Developers, it gives a lot of good suggestions how to design your app towards users wants and needs.

I really struggled with the registration, I accidentally exited the app two or three times by pressing back and expecting the keyboard to close. I would suggest doing something with onbackpressed so users don't rage at your program. I almost didn't even get to the program because I had such a problem with the registration, first with the backpressed, then with not putting in a valid email, then with with not creating a long enough password, and finally not accepting the TOS. I don't even get why I had to register, I would maybe look at making that an option for use and not a requirement.

The one redeeming part of your app is that the character writing looks, and seems to function rather well. The rest of the app, while I know it's just a beta version, looks and functions like shit. Adding words was not intuitive, there was a ton of wait time, and while I would love a program like this, in its current state it is something I would not use again.

Hope this helps, If you do a redesign be sure to make another post about it, because I'd like to see an improved/workable version of the app.
