UI revert/option to revert.

Vee

Following UI trends doesn't instantly make something better. Yes, it might appeal to a newer audience, but it alienates your older users - especially when the UI trends end up causing downgrades.

 

I love Discord, I've used it nearly every day for the last 5 years. But these constant UI changes feel like they're changing the identity of the app, something I've gotten to know and grow with for so long. The recent UI change feels like a downgrade in usability, and Tabs just don't feel like they fit in.

 

I understand that you guys want to appeal to everyone and get new people on the platform, but alienating your old users in the process doesn't sound like a good idea. It feels more unresponsive, and needs more steps to do things that were so easy to do before. Trends, or more specifically following Apple because it literally feels like you're trying to rip off iMessages, aren't always good, and "prettiness" (which is subjective) over usability is never a good idea. I and many others loved how things looked before, and the sheer number of complaints over these UI changes shouldn't be ignored.

    I totally agree. It’s really frustrating how much they’ve been ignoring customer feedback recently. It really makes me wonder why I keep on giving them money for nitro if they’re gonna make their platform feel so unusable.

    I agree.
    The new redesign just isn't working all that well in its current state. I wish they didn't change so much unnecessary stuff in those last few updates, navigation just became worse and worse.

    Really love discord and use it all day every day but really not a fan of this new tabs UI change for mobile I would like an option to turn it off and go back to normal as well

    Bump

    Not sure if bumping actually works this way on here, but anyway the brand new ugly logo doesn't matter as much to me personally since it's barely ever really visible in full anyway, but the new dark Green color, and to a lesser extent the blurple, do. Hope I can at least get the old colors back in the future.
