Bumped into a post today about the Leo mobile app and I decided to read and try out the app. I will be testing virtually alot of functions in the app and report any bug if found.
In the same vein, I would also be dropping suggestions for further improvement of the app if need be. So let's start with the logging in process.
So let's start with logging in
I accessed the mobile through the hivesigner option, so if you prefer other login option, there might be a little difference, but it's not complicated.
The process was quite smooth without any glitches. All that is required is your private key and then you input your desired hivesigner password. After that, it will authomatically log you in.
So in essence, all things are good with the login process. Remember, it is always advisable to use or sign in with the hive key that has less power, i.e the posting key. This is for security reasons. Use the other keys only when necessary.
So after I am logged in, I decided to test the text editor and it is a check ✔️. Everything is good with the typing section except with almost but not serious challenge.
The icon required for posting images, videos and gif almost seemed missing to me. I had to do a guess work by sliding the horizontal bar section before they became visible.
I would suggest if a pop up notification can be included there somehow to indicate that the user is required to slide the bar to unveil the image posting icon.
Or better still the font of the icons can be further reduced to accommodate basic functional icons so that they are all seen at once. This is the major thing I observed while typing. Every other thing in this section is a check.
Moving on, the notification icon is awesome. I would suggest in addition to the all and replies function, a mark as read icon can also be included. This will help filter out already read notifications.
The user interface is awesome and I love the quickness. It has no glitches and sluggishness in any form. One thing I also observed is the less data consumption rate.
The app is quite fast and doesn't consume much Data. This saves me cost of having to subscribe more data and it will of course make people prefer it to the web version possibly.
Besides the interface, I also love the ability to change the color interface to any color of my choice. A lovely addition Indeed but I have an observation to make that will improve the app interface.
I noticed that when I select dark mode, if I intend to search for users, their names are hardly visible because they are coloured black.
I would suggest that letters be made white in colour while the background remains dark so that we can easily see what we are searching for. This is a very important aspect the team should quickly fix.
I love the proposed interface of the wallet, it's awesome and makes it easier to have a broad view of all my assets and functionality at once. Great!
Next is the homepage, I would suggest that, icons that will enable post links to be share be added to every post. This will make it possible for post to be shared with ease on different social media.
Lastly, I feel this is a bug (I may be right or wrong). You cannot upload an image if a word preceding the cursor at where you want to upload the image has anything other than a word or letter.
Once it has symbol, the upload will not go through and it returns with a pop up notification in the image below.
One way I was able to circumvent this was to upload the image in another area on the editor and then cut the link and pasted it in the particular location I initially intended.
Secondly, I had to leave a single line space between the symbol and cursor location to be able to upload the image.
This is where I come to the end of my review, suggestions, observations and ideas.
In general, the app is awesome, personally, I love the ease of use and the easy access to basic functionality I need.
My rating on Google play store would be 4/5. I believe when some of all the minor issues I observed in this review are corrected and effected, the mobile application would be a top notch.
Should you wish to use the mobile app, you can download it on playstore by clicking this link here - Leo finance mobile app.
Hopefully this findings will be communicated to the developers so that the app can be further improved.
No doubt, I enjoyed the app, it was swift and very fast. You can give it a try and thank me later.
Do well to follow me @cyprianj for more updates on finance and crypto, health issues and more.
Drawing the attention of @taskmaster4450le and @khaleelkazi.
Till I come your way again, stay awesome. It's time to rest on my end.
