Yesterday I made an update on the app, now users can post their own ideas and create profile where they can share their website. I would love to hear some feedback. Thank you!

TBH...I'm still not feeling the white text on the coloured buttons. I can barely see what the light green and yellow buttons say. Needs contrast so the words are clearly visible. Have you tried it with dark text? If you don't like full black (my preference) perhaps a charcoal (not quite black). For menus and buttons you need contrast. If you don't want to go with dark text perhaps applying a slight drop shadow or stroke (thin outline) around the text might help? I don't have an Android so can't test it though.

Great idea! Thank you my friend. I tried darker in the past, but it was a bit sad. But now, I will take your advice and add drop shadow. iOS version is on it's way :)

How are you doing? I don't have a lot of free time today so I haven't used it too much but maybe my list will be useful. ;)

1. I didn't like that I have to register before I could see anything.
2. App crashed 2 times when I was typing in register activity.
3. After Using "+" button I have to return to the menu using the top left back button cause bottom left leads to my wallpaper (app is killed).
4. Maybe you could add modern wallpaper to your splash and settings activity.
5. Images are loading about 2-3sec. Maybe you could load the first image in a smaller resolution and then replace it?
6. I think "Idea #NUM" and description should be centered.
7. Nickname is shown on an account image.
8. It's weird but the logo is kinda similar to the LGBT flag. I don't know if you made it on purpose.
9. The main menu looks better. Maybe you could make white borders smaller, blend buttons with the background photo.

I'm using Sony C1905 4.1.2

addittion to J_cup (I agree to all of his points)
- the "back" button shuts down the app, I instinctively push on it if I want to go one step back. From Health ideas to the main menu for example.
-maybe a link to the suggestion of the idea, maybe even a sponsored link. travel ideas could be linked to travel agency's site. Travel to chitzen itza was a suggestion.. why would I go there, what is to see there?
- a health suggestion with a link to a persons blog which proves what you suggested: Why should I drink a 10 eggwhite oat meal smoothy after workout?

people are lazy you could leverage that in my opinion. If they dont have to go out on the web and research further themselves that could be an improvement.

Now I saw your comment. First, thank you for help!
- When I click on the back button(the logo) the app doesn't shut down app for me. You are the first person that is telling me this. But I will have a deep look to check things
- When you say "a link" do you mean more information about that idea ? For example: hotel, locations, recipe, etc? By this I mean ads, link to a website or a longer description.

Now I saw what LGBT means. No is not on purpose but now for sure I will change it! Thanks for enlightening me.

In a couple of days I will release the iOS version of this app. Many people asked me to do so.

But I am not sure of something.

Within the app, is a category named "Sex" and I think that some people may post indecent photos there and Apple may ban the app.

Should I allow users to post their own ideas but first verify them before they are available (not leveraging)? Or should I let them report if they see something going wrong (leveraging)?

What do you think guys?

Thank you!

Perhaps, you can rename the category to something more subtle, e.g "Hook Ups."

Solid tips by the the forum, so don't want to duplicate any suggestions. Thought i'd mention that you should be talking to your users. Talk to the people who directly download your app for its intended purposes. Outside of color/font/UI changes, they are going to be gold for giving you feedback to incorporate into the app.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet or if it's in the app bit you should make it location based. I.e. the things to do are things do to do around your current location. Maybe tie into Google maps or some other map.

Bingo! Yes, I thought about that and will be implemented. What else would you like me to add in order to benefit you when you use the app?

I'd change the name of the app. To me it just looks like a text string that's just been put their until you add the real title. Like an unfinished app.

I understand what you say, but I have 2 reasons why I kept it:
1. It's easy to remember because it's an acronym(I Don't Know What To Do).
2. The SEO for this word is in by my side since there are no money related words.
