Advertisements, bugs, missing features
-Advertisements were suddenly added in as "bug fixes"
-Ads would have been "OK" if hidden when viewing images, but Pixiv is very greedy
-There is a giant amount of white space on the sides of the ads to make it even worse (done on purpose)
Apart from ads,
-Most website features arent on the app, like recommended users, user feed, related pictures, etc.
-Most Pixiv premium features from the website arent on the app
-Some of the UI doesnt make sense, like the switched placement of score and views
-You cant see who a comment is a reply to
-The giant Open button ruins works with multiple images. It is annoying and looks bad. It should be replaced with small arrows at the bottom of the image that go through the pages instead of taking us to an entirely separate page
-Very few Pixiv spotlights appear on the app. There is no reason or excuse for that. And the BEST ONES NEVER APPEAR ON THE APP
-Favorites sometimes disappear
-Sometimes the wrong image is favorited
-There is no way to select multiple favorites
-Actions always fail, "Follow failed" "favorite failed" "remove failed" etc.
-A lot of other things...
It would be nice to get the whitecube redesign for mobile too. Maybe if you redo the app like the website, you can do it right this time.
Also not sure what all these bug fix updates are. All the bugs I encounter are still there. Probably stealth adding more advertisements.
