HoYoLAB 12+

Overall, the app is pretty cool. You have most of the Mihoyo games put in this app to check out. Instead of having to take a look at tons of different social media accounts, you can simply go to the app to take care of things.
Before I start with the criticisms, none of this is against Mihoyo as a company, I’m sticking with just the app itself because that’s what I’m rating.

The app can be occasionally laggy and the interface is a little confusing at first (not knowing what is what, where to go, etc.). It’s a little weird looking on the iPad, however I can’t say the same for phone since I don’t use one.

Suggestion time? Oh yes it is!
I believe on the app we should have a top up center for each game. I would love to buy some more Genesis crystals or welkin, however credit card is a little weird on pc and I unfortunately don’t have enough storage to download the Genshin app to use my Apple account. Therefore, a top up center would be extremely convenient and helpful.
Some other nice additions would be countdowns to new updates, events, and banners. I think it’d be pretty cool to be able to see something like that so that most people won’t have to be doing the math to figure out when things are ending and when things are coming.

Where are all the normies? Someone needs to bully this community… They’ve surpassed “freaks” and “weebs”… The amount of people freaking out about merch or in-game characters need to go outside, get a job, and talk to normal people. If your posts and responses are all in caps and consist of something like “OHMAGURD THIS CHARACTER/OUTFIT OHMAGURD I DONT KNOW HOW TO TALK TO REAL PEOPLE. OH. MAH. GURD.” please… seek help. Waifus are one thing, but obsession is something else altogether. If you’re more concerned about (I’ll just use this example, because it’s the most obvious) Elysia or Ei than you are about real people, you need mental help. It’s okay to like something, but this community holds onto virtual characters like they’re drugs and that’s unhealthy. “Oh but WAIFUS” It’s great to look. It’s unhealthy to obsess. Especially over something you’ll NEVER touch. There are grown adults on this platform acting like middle schoolers over some side-boob and it’s one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen. Need some more normies, these freaks ruin everything with their fanaticism and borderline zealotry.

I really loved this app and community, up until I was permanently muted for theorizing about a future patch in Genshin Impact. I had gotten warnings twice for copyright infringement for using popular meme templates to make Genshin inspired memes (apparently you have to credit the person who originally made the template which is impossible) You only get two warnings and then you are banned for life, which is extremely disappointing. I still use the app even tho I’ve been muted permanently to check in, and have asked a few times in the past year that I’ve been muted if there is any way to appeal the decision, and never received a response. There is no clear way to speak with Mods, and the rules are not applied consistently as I constantly see people share the memes I made I was given a warning for or people using similar templates. As a social media app they should have a better explanation of rules and appeal system for warnings and being muted, with mods you can actually speak too. My suggestion is if you download this app, don’t post anything because you never know what might be against their extremely unclear and unstated rules.
