Layout needs some work

So you easily lose your place, Id like to have the apps that Ive backed available to me in order of when they are ending, that would be easier to keep track of especially if these things are to be debited from my card on file. I dont like the layout at all actually. Fix this please!

Just one bug...

Good, but when I exit a project the feed will occasionally reset and I am forced to go through all the projects again.

Great app but no way to work on personal projects

I love the interface of Kickstarter. Very smooth, easy to use, and clean. Except how do I work on my personal projects I started on the website?

I love Kickstarter, but...

This is one of the worst apps Ive ever used. The glitches bring me back to when the App Store first came out with the iPhone 3G. For example, if you rotate the phone to landscape view, the app will rotate as expected, but if you rotate back to portrait view, the screen shifts requiring you to force quit the app. Again, I love Kickstarter. The app needs to be stabilized.

Interesting

If you are a Kickstarter regular this app is a bit of an adventure but isnt that what KS is all about? If you are new to KS this app may drive you crazy.

Love it!

Easy to find projects and back them. Thanks!

Really not a great app

The app is really not as intuitive as it could be. In addition, many things that project creators use often can be cumbersome.

Too much scrolling

Miss edge touch to go to next page.

Mostly a scam

Dont give any money to these scammers. Absolutely all projects are late. Most do not provide the product as they describe and still most fail to produce anything at all. Worst of all, there is no way to get a refund of your pledge amount and there are no repercussions to the seller.

Bad App!

Why no option for badges in notification center? Many updates from projects I backed go unread since there is no badge to draw my eye to the Kickstarter app. Shoddy choice forgoing that option, when can we expect to get this notification option back? Months later, still waiting on badges… How can this not be important to anyone else? Yet another update that still doesn’t activate badges, for shame. updated 8/3/15: still no badges with this new update, LAME. updated 9/9/15: still no badges still no recent KS pledges by me because of this ridiculousness. updated 10/5/15, version 2.7.2: Still no badges, the developers should be ashamed of themselves updated 11/11/15, version 2.8: Still no badges, at this point I’ve passed up a dozen projects worth hundreds of dollars due to the KS app not being complete. Their loss! updated 4/6/16, version 2.9: Still no badges, still not a good app

Just Excellent

This is a great, easy and on your fingertips way to not only stay up to date on great new ideas, but most importantly support the ones that you believe will make a difference!!! Just Excellent!!!

Good review here

Intuitive interface. Makes for an all around decent app. Thumbs up.

KikA$$

Wow what an awesome medium for those who otherwise may not succeed as fast, if at all! Thank you for the dream making possibilities!

A Snap

So easy to use, better than using a browser!!

Very buggy

Whenever I am in the technology tab, this app jumps to crafts. It has been doing this for ages now, please fix. Extremely annoying.

Horrible because of side scrolling

I think this app does an in-service to all the kickstarter project creators. Because of the side scrolling way of browsing is very easy to accidentally move your thumb in a way that causes an accidental vertical scroll. When this happens it changes the category. When you scroll vertically to go back to the previous category, it starts the listing from the beginning again. Besides being incredibly frustrating on the verge of infuriating, What this means is the creators that have kickstarter project further down in the list dont get to be seen because of this accidental scrolling that causes the listing to start over from the beginning.

Decent application

This is a pretty good app to connect donators with projects. I have a little trouble with the touch screen interaction. Some buttons take extra work to get the touch recognized. In general, I find it satisfactory.

Apple Pay support missing an option

The app allows us to use a Discover card to make our payments, but when selecting to pay via Apple Pay, my Discover card is listed as "Not supported by this app". Please fix this as this is the card that I prefer to use and Im sure that Im not the only one.

Garbage update

Get another update out guys. This last update is complete garbage. Half the time I cant search for something, the other half of the time I get projects up that have 0% raised, $0 pledged. Basically, the app doesnt work. I still will use Kickstarter just not the crappy app anymore.

Horrible

The app is horrible to use. Scrolling is clumsy and frustrating.
