I tried to get back into snapchat last week. "Surely they've made the Android app usable by now." Why is the android app so trash? Why is the UI so convoluted? I want to like and use snapchat because clearly everybody is "getting" something that I'm not, but I genuinely cannot figure out the UI or take more than a few pics without the thing crashing.
Asking genuinely here, but what exactly is 'convoluted' about it for you individually?
So now I pop into the mysterious "pyramid of three little circles" menu. It's.. news? "Recent updates" is another list of... friend... stuff... probably Snapchat's answer to Instagram Stories or whatever. More mysterious icons in the top right (other than search, that's obvious).
When I take a picture there's an x (obvious), a postit note, a T (obvious), a... pencil (pretty obvious if so), a timer, a download icon, and a square with a plus (no idea). Also a "send" icon. Throughout all this navigation, I'm lagging, hanging, etc.
Use case: A coworker says "add me on snapchat, here I've got my QR code open on my phone." Starting from the main menu I enter the "settings", click "add friends." "Add by Snapcode" looks right, oh, no, I need to take a photo, it won't actively scan for QR.
Things like that.
