Complaint

Common complaints

  • Opaque Rejection Process
    • The rejection letter doesn't tell you why you're rejected, just that it encourages you to keep writing.
    • Always find new ideas to reject and didn't even explain why reject.. just one word of rejection.
  • Technical Bugs and Performance
    • The home page icons don't even work
    • Typing on the app doesn't seem smooth and it feels very weird to complete a word or sentence since the speed is very slow.
    • PLEASE FIX THIS IRRITATING BUG! [Word count not tracking]
