Button Sizing/App Fluidity
I have been a Discord user over a handful of accounts since the app was still in beta and before the program Discord was something everyone knew. I've seen the Discord mobile app before you could select multiple images, back when there was a seperate white-and-blue screen for uploading something, and before you could even begin to create a server from mobile. And in all those years, the app has NEVER been as clunky and awkward as it is now. The old format of uploading images was extremely efficient and worked well, and now it's split into two parts, making the text box harder to click on and making it so I keep accidentally clicking the camera button instead of gallery.
The emoji-keyboard-thingamajig is shorter, making it harder to see emojis and browse them with ease like before. On top of this, the buttons are MASSIVE and my big, clumsy thumbs constantly hit the wrong thing when I click where I'm used to out of habit. The problem is at it's worst on the server member menu (where you can access things you can already access via other means) where things are so big I feel as though the app is made for the blind.
I'm sure these problems would not be as bad on a smaller phone, say, an old Iphone or even an Ipod touch. But I have a large phone. A phablet, as some may call it. An LG V-30 phone. And it feels like I'm drowning in oversized buttons, which, personally, I feel look too busy and out-of-place. The majority of the app is crisp and sharp. It's appealing, it looks clean (when you remove the unnecessary extra buttons). But the bottom half of the screen, the text box, is round. It's circular and out of place, and it doesn't fit in. If you want to have a more round look, have everything be round. Or better yet! Have an option to switch between old/new discord or round/sharp discord. And please, for the love of god, add a UI scaling function. The past two design updates are odd and unappealing. The previous design was fine, everyone loved it, and it didn't need to be changed. If it's not broken, don't fix it.
