• Update on Xanga's mobile app

  We've been hard at work on Xanga's upcoming mobile app!

  We've showed the mobile app to a dozen members of the Product Council over the last few months. Over and over, we'd ask people what they thought each icon did... and let's just say, the answers we heard varied widely. 

  We heard your feedback loud and clear: if an icon isn't totally obvious, it can be very confusing! That's when Marc and Justin dug into the app, and took a pass at using these things called "words" instead.

  Check out the navigation here... especially the words at the top of the app.  This one shows your Feedback:

  

  From the Feedback page, you can also check out your Subs and Recs quickly and easily: 

  

  We also added buttons at the bottom of the page. The three screenshots above are under the Home button... and you can access all of your Posts and more under your Profile pic.

  

  So far, people have let us know they vastly prefer this new version!  We've been using it in-house and it's been feeling more intuitive to us as well. And now Marc and Justin are focused on finishing up the ability to add photos to your weblog.

  

  More on that soon...

  So, what do you think of the changes?
