A friend recommended your app to me a few days back, and here's my impressions. At first glance, the UI looks great, but it doesn't feel right. The big one for me was how I must start a swipe from the picture of the event, not the edge of the screen or the bottom portion with the profile pictures. The UI looks and acts almost like a scroll view, but not really. Going into an event's View Details view, there are items in a table I can tap to view more details, such as See Full Description. Native iOS behavior is tapping will drill down immediately, and things can load slower if needed. It seems like there's a bit of a delay between a tap (when the table item flashes) and when the drill down happens. This time varies seemingly randomly, and can be up to a few seconds. It makes me wonder if the tap actually registered, even if it does flash. The idea for the app is great, but I stopped using the app at that point because it's frustrating to have to change habits formed from using pretty much all the other apps on iOS. It's something to consider when thinking about using some non-native framework, especially for something like iOS where apps generally follow a set of human interface guidelines, as any difference in behavior can stand out like a sore thumb to users. Is this something that you guys noticed or thought about internally during development? |

I have to say I had not noticed the first issue. But now that you mention it I guess it's true.
The second issue is something I have noticed occasionally. I guess I'm always testing on WiFi so it tends to load quickly enough that I never considered it problematic. Definitely worth taking a look to improve the usability there.
We tried to follow iOS design conventions as much as we could, but I guess we haven't quite nailed it yet!
