About Kickstarter

1. Backers on Kickstarter are passionate, creative visionaries that find joy and connection in funding new ideas and bringing them to life.

2. Discover projects in categories like art, design, film, games, hardware, and music, then pledge to your favorites right from the app.

3. Make the world a more creative and innovative place while receiving awesome (and often exclusive) rewards.

4. Creators can use the app to keep up with their own projects on the go, as well as stay in touch with their backers. • Join like-minded backers to help make new ideas a reality. • Stay connected with updates from projects you’ve backed. • Save your favorites and get reminders before projects end.

Kickstarter Customer Insights

1. Been having these same issues for at least a year so don't really see them changing anything Edit: updating to add that the app doesn't save your current search settings so constantly changes categories on youFor the most part it's a great app, especially if you are just browsing.

2. There's no icon for followed projects, it's hard to find backed projects and I had to go to the desktop website to modify my payment for a project.

3. I have been using Kickstarter for a few years now and for the most part all campaign items that I've backed have been completed and arrived to me.

4. (You have to access the website version of the project, and make sure your phone doesn't route the link back to the KS app.

5. I have backed 63 projects so far, I'm used to it being a very easy to navigate app but now that I've switched to Android it's horrible.

6. There have been several projects I haven't backed because I could barely see most of the campaign.

7. Came to update my review that this app still barely works and no improvements have been made.When it works, it's fine.

8. 3 stars because what functionality is included works correctly.Very good experience! I'm not sure if I'm describing the app or the service itself.

9. A slide left and right would work better than tapping multiple menus.The app is definitely easier to navigate on a smart device than the website.

10. But for purchasing it doesnt show you the full detail and pictures of the item the way the regular website does.

11. A headache if you're browsing projects and lose your place when it crashes or you need to restart it.
