Partiko First Impressions

in #partiko6 years ago

I've been using this app for a little over a week now and honestly I think it's pretty fantastic. It's easy to figure out and for reasons beyond my technical comprehension seems to be quite faster than steemit or any other front end to the steem blockchain that I've used before.

Now, I'm not going to say I'm about to ditch busy or steempeak for that matter, since it's quite more comfortable for me to type out my weird ramblings on a keyboard, but it's obvious to me now that we finally have a mobile app for steem that is good enough to become a standard.

Yes, shots fired right there. I've used the competition (for mobile) and found myself frustrated, confused and unhappy quite fast. I won't go into details, but just the fact that partiko doesn't take huge cuts of my posts is already a fact that puts it a few leaps ahead of the competition.

On top of that, on top of the ease of use, the very effective notification system that really replaces Gina (a feat I once thought impossible) the app has been running solid, no bugs, no crashes, nothing to complain about. This has been the case at least on my phone, and trust me my phone is under the definition of cheap on Wikipedia.

Anyways my friends, if you've not tried Partiko. What are you waiting for?

For mobile steemin Nothing comes even close...

you just can’t beat partiko. i’ve fallen in love with the experience and swear by it. so easy to use and above all else....it just works!

Posted using Partiko iOS

Yup. Fast, easy. and I really like the notifications. Just a few more things to reach gina functionality :P. Like various triggers for when certain things are mentioned and such. But that might just be a lot of infrastructure to set that up.

The one thing I would like though if it saved my local drafts that I have brewing in comments, because sometimes I get kicked out and when I come back it's gone :(

Got it. Draft for comments. We'll make that happen for you.

Also can we edit comments? I hate the typos that come from autocorrect!

Posted using Partiko iOS

You will be able to very soon!!

Posted using Partiko iOS

Ooh great! Probably should have filed it as an issue somewhere :P but thanks for finding this haha

Posted using Partiko Android

For sure. I read all the posts ahah

Posted using Partiko Android

EXACTLY what my thoughts are. It’s mind boggling why none of the whales know about the fastest and best Steem mobile app....

Thank you for turning me on to partiko Stella :)

Posted using Partiko Android

She turned me on too!!

Hi Meno. Does Partiko take any benefactor cut at all?

I don't use a smartphone much as I live in an area with no mobile signal, but it sounds like Partiko might be useful to have on my phone for times when I go places where there is a signal.

Do you just download from Google Playstore? And does it just need the posting key?

Partiko does not take a cut of User rewards. Partiko takes nothing!

Posted using Partiko iOS

Hi @stellabelle - thank you for confirming that. That is perfect - a lot of the dApps do take rather hefty chunks out of the post rewards.

Partiko has one mission: mainstream adoption! I have talked to the dev several times and his responsiveness to user requests is really impressive

Posted using Partiko iOS

Who is the main dev behind Partiko? Maybe I should get him on one of my radio shows.

It’s @crypto.talk He’s awesome and I want to interview him too!

Posted using Partiko iOS

Ha! I will have to invite both of you on my show and then I could interview you and you could interview @crypto.talk

😊

Looks neat ;)

Posted using Partiko Android

well i think i will take your words, when i got a new phone i will try that, using steemit on a cellphone its a headache.

Thank you for reviewing us. This means a lot!!

Posted using Partiko Android

Oh man... I'm not exaggerating, experience wise this app has no competitor at the moment.

Posted using Partiko Android

Hahahahaha I know!

Posted using Partiko iOS

Estimado amigo @meno No tengo ni siquiera teléfono movil jajajaj
Algún día lo tendré y seguro que me anoto a la tendencia de #partikoandroid Un abrazo y saludos desde Venezuela.

Again...
THANK YOU!

Just downloaded, didn't even catch wind of Partiko until this post. Looking forward to trying it!

Good lookin' out as always, @meno!

Pretty ninja my brother , I'm sure you will love it too

Welcome on board dear....the magic of partiko

Posted using Partiko Android

Unfortunately it won't work on my iPhone 5. Guess it's too old. Gotta upgrade one of these days. I tried it on my iPad but was disappointed that it didn't have a tablet view, defaulting to a stretched phone view, which makes it too ugly to use. Having said that, I did like the features and I agree it loaded much faster than any of the competition. If I ever upgrade my phone (or if they add a tablet view to a later version) I will def use it more often.

I've heard something about it, it's pretty fast, but I don't have a phone yet, I guess it's not for computers. Good luck with that.

"if you've not tried Partiko. What are you waiting for?"

I've not tried Partiko because I've got a Windows Phone. I know, it serves me right to be so cheap lol.

But it's 4 years old now, and falling to bits, and they don't make them anymore, so hopefully within a few months, I'll get a new phone, and try out Partiko. :)

I know all about cheap phones, mine is about 80 bucks brand new.

that being said, i had no idea windows phone users were still around, you my friend are a rare creature.

Ha ha, I used to be prone to dropping phones, and breaking them (I haven't lately, obs), so I always got the cheapest. Windows Phones were always priced at half the price of other phones with similar RAM, the cheapest on the market, but they never secured any apps, which is why they died. For accessing the internet, though, they worked well.

Steemit actually runs fantastically on a Windows Phone. Unlike other social media sites, when my phone crashes, I don't lose my post. And it crashes a lot, as it's old, in cell phone terms, not human terms lol.

This app seems freaking amazing so far but I just downloaded it. Looks like I'll be using this partiko app for notifications from people who interact with my posts and Gina to keep tabs on tags. Thanks for sharing this post. Otherwise I'd have never known about this app. 👍✨

Yaaayy Stace, partiko party!!

The notifications have completely changed my Steem experience. It’s truly a Facebook substitute but on Steem!

For mobile steemin Nothing comes even close...
I think so

Posted using Partiko iOS

Thank you so much!

Posted using Partiko Android

That’s right!!! Partiko, the mobile Frontier!!!

Posted using Partiko iOS

great great

It is a good Dapp, it works for me because my internet is very slow.

Yes, it's true
It give me notifications wherever someone upvote my post

Posted using Partiko Android

Yo también llevo unas semanas utilizándolo y es ágil, sencillo y muy útil. De momento, para mí, la mejor App sobre la red Steemit.

Posted using Partiko Android

Partiko makes steeming easier and faster. I'm so loving it.

Posted using Partiko Android

Partiko can be awesome like that 😀

Posted using Partiko Android

Trying it for the first time this week and this whole Points thing is sucking me in (as it’s meant to)! I agree with your review. New energy on the blockchain! I’m excited!

Posted using Partiko iOS

Points are where it’s at! Points are needed to make us feel good about spending our time here!

Posted using Partiko iOS

Hmm. Is this safe? I'd like to try it, but it says it requires my owner or active keys. Why won't it work with the posting key? I'm not comfortable giving access to my wallet to an untested app, when I just want to use it to post and comment. Also there is no QR code scanner for the password, and typing these things in is a nightmare.

It uses SteemConnect just like other apps. I think QR code scanning is on the list. I tested it first with an alt account because I had the same feelings as you. As far as I can see, it’s safe. You can get support in their discord channel. The lead developer works for Airbnb and his name is @crypto.talk on here so you can talk directly to him

Posted using Partiko iOS

Lol I'm quitting airbnb. Going to announce it soon.

Posted using Partiko Android

Ohhhhhhhhh. You need to be top 20 witness then! Dayjobs give stable income....

Posted using Partiko iOS

We are looking for funding too. I'm making Partiko a fucking business.

Posted using Partiko Android

Hahahahaha Awesome. I’m bad at figuring out funding but I know fundition.io is good for Steem projects. Also for visibility one time I thought about getting your post on trending... but I like it that your posts are all organic. Let’s do a video interview soon?

Posted using Partiko iOS

I see no reason not to! Let's do this!

Posted using Partiko Android

I've not used this app, but I think they need to stop putting their link in every post and comment. It looks a bit spammy.

Thanks for bringing this up! We do have a plan to remove that, and we need to do that carefully. As far as I know there are many users who love it because it helps them identify the Partiko community. We will keep you updated!

Posted using Partiko Android

It stands out as other apps don't do it. You should at least give users the option to disable it

It was an epifhany for me. i use it together with steemify and am happy taht i found them
happy sunday from holland,
