Canva: Why?

First of all, I have to say that I think that canva doesn’t even read these comments. So I’m going to give it a 5 star just to be seen 😐. It won’t load (app ver) no matter what I do. Also unlike some of the kids here, I have an actual opinion. Why don’t you try fixing the problem that 90% of users have instead of having premade messages? It kinda feels like a waste to even be typing this. For instance, if I just wanted to say something nice, it would have the same effect as something bad. Canva doesn’t even TRY to improve its app. No Matter how many times I update this app I can’t even access its features because guess what? It won’t even load! If you want to make profit off of your business, why don’t you atleast make it accessible so people can actually use it. I feel like, as a WOMAN. That companies like canva don’t even care the length, duration, or review of this message. All they care about is how much stars they get to attract customers. But, here’s the thing, no one will want to be in this company if people can’t even access it. Want to make money? Make people BUY your product. Then we can talk. I feel like all companies are becoming greedier by the day. I’m dearly sorry, no, actually APOLOGIZE to the people reading this before getting the app and seeing this and saying well, i might get it anyways! It’s a waste of space on your phone. But btw I gotta go so smell ya later!

Canva... the app we all want to love

Let’s start with the good. It’s 2018 and nobody makes a (sort of) desktop publishing app for iOS except Canva. So kudos for taking this project on. That said, the app is so painstakingly frustrating, I’m kind of amazed I still use it. It crashes all the time, weird changes are made when I go to save (wasting precious time), and lots of other very quirky things. Example. When working with text, in order to exit edit text mode, one has to click done. That alone takes forever, but after hitting done no matter what page I’m on in a document, the app leaps forward to the last page. Another example. Try renaming a file. It crashes every single time. Try renaming it again. This time it works. Every single time. The list goes on and on, and things load oh so slowly. So long story short. This app isn’t ready for the field. It’s hardly even beta worthy. But we all still use it. Why? Because there’s nothing else out there for iOS. The moral of the story is that we need other developers to begin working on publishing apps so that we not only have a choice, but so that Canva has some competition. The developers respond quickly, roll out updates, and make promises, but bottom line is the app still remains broken. Honestly, it’s such a chore to use. There is nothing enjoyable about the app and all I hear out there is that when we go to work on a project.... we just pray we can make it through. Upward and onward.
