Cancelled nitro over this update, not paying for unusable app.

Hideous, confusing, poorly designed, badly organized, completely unnecessary, there is absolutely nothing that will convince me this was the result of the requests of the people who use this app, or any actual human being ever. What was the actual motivation for this? It’s quite possibly the worst app redesign I’ve ever lived to witness. 

Never met a single person who had a problem with the old layout beyond actual glitches that should’ve been fixed. The UI was perfectly fine when it came to navigation and appearance. Now I can’t find anything, and adding a bajillion search bars doesn’t help when you’ve rearranged everything in the most illogical way possible. Not to mention the fact it doesn’t run any better, it now runs WORSE.

It’s just entirely an eyesore and I can’t think of one single thing that improved even slightly with this. And what kind of company FORCES you to use a new UI? put an “old discord” button or add it as a theme like any logical company would do. I seriously wonder what kind of people are making these decisions and if they’ve ever used an app before.

    It blows my mind that an app meant for gamers is now redesigning to look like every boring, run of the mill social messaging app like Facebook or Skype. Why are we turning it into what the old people use?? The whole point was to be different.

    When I first got the update, the app crashed 3 times in the span of 10 minutes. Now, whenever I try to access the settings, it has a 50% chance of crashing. That's unacceptable and unusable.

    In my friends list, I have people that I only talk to every few months. We're friends, we just don't interact much. I don't need to see the activity of the people that I don't interact with flashed across the top of the screen. If I wanted to find them, I would scroll through my chats like I always have. 

    This UI was designed by someone who just finished their “UX Design” course through “Grow With Google” and somehow got a job at Discord. There's no way this was made by someone who actually uses the app.

    I have also cancelled my Nitro over this. After supporting Discord for years because I liked what they created and wanted to support them. I won't be paying for this downgrade in every sense of the word. And I encourage anyone else who is upset with the changes to do the same. The only way to make these devs listen is to talk with our money.
