Partiko is Stickier than Steemit
Just a couple short observations about this new app, Partiko, that I've been seeing people use (and downloaded last night):
It is more fun to use. Getting points for doing stuff, and having a leaderboard, adds another layer of fun and competition to Steem. I'm already using Steem more today than usual...by a lot.
I'm going to do more microblogging between major posts. I'll try to brand the shorties like this differently from the more content rich ones. I'm motivated by a few things, and Partiko's UX was the straw that broke the camel's back.
An interview with the developer is in the works. You'll get some good information on Partiko within a week or two, but I do recommend trying it out now!
I've changed my rewards to 100% power up. I remain bullish on Steem in the long run!
Responses to this post using the Partiko app will get a full upvote (one per user). Tell us what you think of it!

Partiko has excellent UX - fast & well designed. Perfect to use during commutes.

Thanks for sharing!
I have to drive, so I listen to podcasts on mine.
I’ve been using Partiko for about a month now and like it! With some added features it could be a real game changer :-) Don’t like the ‘alternative slider’ where you upvote a value instead of the percentages, but hey, it’s an actual Steem APP on my phone so - yay! Points are cool - curious to see what they will do with those - they have plans for them in the future. Partiko SMT?
(Let them add nightmode first please! Ahhh the white burns my eyes!)

Nightmode sounds like a great idea!
I don't mind the slider, as I like being able to know how much I'm giving somebody. Oh, and for the points, it says somewhere that you'll be able to turn them in for upvotes. :-)
Ah - that's a great idea :D Nice!
I have been planning on writting my own review on Partiko. So il just get right on it and send you a link here so you can read ny thoughts on it.
Cheers

Cool, I'll be sure to take a look at it!
Yeah this is game changer for sure, it’s amazing and I can’t even do anything thing with my wallet yet. Can’t wait to see what they add to it

Alright I'm here! I remember earlier before logging in that I was amazed at the speed of this thing. Now I took the leap and leaving my first reply with you :).
Had reservations with the Steemcomnect auto fill but just going to trust it. They seem on point in responsiveness as well, very nice to see.
I'm going to be checking two things next: how robust the post drafting is to not losing partial work, and the fun engagement pages that you mentioned. Alrighty!

Welcome back! I agree on the steemconnect, but I also keep a close eye on my account and the vast majority of my Steem is time locked as Steem Power, and I can always make a new active key with my owner key.
Hear you on the partial work! Another site lost a post reply of mine today, which was frustrating.
Yeah so partiko posting will save drafts, but not replies. Something to watch out for as on steemit I have plenty of replies I leave in draft state when I have multiple tabs open. Guess this encourages me to finish a reply as I go haha.

That's hilarious. I've heard of saving post drafts but comment drafts? 🤣🤣🤣

I recently downloaded this app as well. Seems to be a more smooth experience on mobile. Enjoying it so far. Do you know if partiko takes a % of the rewards when posting through the app?

I do like partiko, it’s easily the best steemit app I’ve seen so far, however since I already do everything on my Ipad and don’t use my phone much, using the app on my iPad is not as convenient as using my browser. Also though I understand and don’t begrudge them the publicity, the little tag under my comments looks a bit cluttered to me. I guess if I start leaving the house more then I will have more reason to post via partiko on my phone. That would probably be a good thing tbh ;)

Yeah, it's a little weird how phone apps can look awful on tablets. I'm not even sure how tablets have sustained sales, as they were cool when the iPads first came out, but now I really dislike them overall.
Personally I didn’t grow up with a computer so the touch interface is much more intuitive for me. Also the battery life and the price are great. The limitation in processing power hasn’t been too much of a drag and the software is a fraction of the price. Granted on my laptop I run linux and the software is also quite cheap but also not quite as clean and faithfully updated as the apps I use on my tablet.
Interesting, thanks for sharing that!
Just started using the app yesterday but I have to say thay I have high hopes for it. These days you can't really have a proper site without a good app to back it up and partiko provides this.
Yes it needs some work and additional features but what is there now is not a bad base to start from.
It's easy to use and more functional than the steemit site on your phone so it's gets a thumbs up from me. Hopefully they keep developing it until we have everything we need for our userbase.

It's a work in progress. I just interviewed the creator and will be posting it soon, so you can check out what the plans are in that article. :-)
Looking forward to it. That should be an interesting read. I'm not expecting any miracles from something so newly developed and think that it's a great starting point. A few small additions to it would make the world of difference and I'm sure that the creator has big plans for the next few updates.
With hardfork 20, smt's and hivemind all coming down the line i would be hoping to see a big increase in the number of active users over the next 12 months and having a functional app is a big part of that. People live on their phones nowadays so its a basic requirement for any platform.
Agree, this is a killer app for Steem as they con’t to make better. UI is much better than Steemit.com

It sure is. I'm ok with Steemit being what it is, though, which is the base vanilla layer of access to Steem. Steemit is doing right by focusing their energy on HF 20 and SMTs.
I downloaded Partiko about a week or two ago and haven’t looked back since it’s by far the better experience on mobile vs the other apps available! My only issue with it at the moment is if I get a comment and go to my notifications I can read it but when I click on it to respond it doesn’t take me directly to that comment in a post! A little bit painful scrolling through all the comments! Maybe I’m lazy but it’s a feature I’d appreciate
Posted using Partiko iOS
Not lazy, and I agree-the notifications are great, but not being able to upvote within notifications is a pain, and the interface in that particular portion is my least favorite part of it. I'm sure we're not the only ones who feel this way. :-)
