airbnb ios app sucks. the experience is not smooth, has rendering and touch issues and if you want to ask for help, the experience is terrible. i mean for fucks sake, its not even a complicated workflow. why do you need so many engineers if not for Mobile And web development. it looks like something an intern would create in fb
And this is coming from Facebook? π
Facebook app is very heavy and offers a lot of functionality, but I have never seen touch issues there. Airbnb s app is so simple, it should be perfect. I feel apps like Expedia, DoorDash, Uber are so much better
You are right. But the Facebook is also trash π
Now that we talking about apps, can you explain me why do I get kicked out of FB app? I am watching videos and after sometime it throws me to home screen and the feed loads again. Worse, no way to go back to the video I was watching. Why don't you tell your intern to fix this?
Change the color back !! I hate the new green
Sure. While we are at it, what should I use for video calls? meet.google.com or Hangouts or Duo? Why are there so many chatting apps? Do you compete among yourself about who will make a better one? It is confusing af!
At least it does something useful
op learn to respect an airbnb engineer. They had to go through cross functional interviews to get the job . Real hard core stuff.
No one actually gave an answer, so hear it goes: - Airbnb does not have a lot of mobile eng, and there is not a strong focus on the end-to-end mobile experience. Airbnb is still web-first. - The app is more feature heavy than you probably realize (I'm an acquisition hire, I thought it was simple too from the outside). - Big emphasis on server-driven UI on some teams, which makes things feel slower.
Use the mobile web app. It's faster than native. Some team did work on it last year

The real question is. Why are you even using Airbnb these days?
Needed to cancel a reservation
Makes sense
