I'm gonna have to eat my own words and just grin and bear it.
But the Ecency mobile app is starting to grow on me a bit more.
I dont know if it's just the way I've been objectively comparing it and Dapplr over this past week. Hell it could even because I'm growing a bit biased to the Ecency desktop app. But I gotta say that I'm beginning to see why said they were just gonna use it and just needed to point their api at it.
Ecency on the left. Dapplr on the right.
How that would work I have no idea. Would you then have a choice on Ecensy to view either 3Speak.tv or Ecency.com? Would someone just rebrand Ecency mobile and replace it with 3Speak. I dont know how that stuff works.
But it seems as though ever since Hivesigner finally settled in and decided it would work for me. I still dont know what the problem was or whether it was doing some magic behind the scenes. But it just started working and, yeah, it's defininately blowing away Dapplr for me.
Dapplr - the mobile app that promised to work and look beautiful doing it.
Umm, that didnt exactly happen. Now before you go spoutin off in the comments take a minute to remember this is an opinion peice. And this is my opinion
Yes, Dapplr is pretty and has fancy animations. You can even change a bunch of colors! But Ecency will send me notifications. And Ecency on the desktop and mobile has given me more notifications than even Hive.blog, PeakD and even !
It's actually pretty funny. I get a ding noise from the Ecency desktop app while I'm on my Brave browser on PeakD.com but no notificatioins from PeakD ever shows up? So I open my Ecency app. I've gotten a couple of notifications from someone on Ecency's front end. But it doesnt show them on PeakD? Why?

What are you saying Bonehead?
Dapplr, well, it's pretty and sometimes I get notifications. I think I've gotten 4, maybe 5 since I started using it while it was still in beta. I honestly havent used it that much since installing it. But I've never logged out of it and it has only pushed maybe 5 notifications in the last 6 months. Without the notificatiioins I tend to forget about an app.
But I've gotten more notifications from Ecency in the last 24 hrs than Dapplr in 6 months, lol!
Ecency is killing it by just plain working right now. It's got light and dark theme so I dont kill my eyes and battery. Ecency is still kinda ugly and square, boxy looking but is way more capable of doing more than Dapplr is. Ecency is a damn good app. On Mobile and desktop! You open it. Do your thing and it gets out of your way. It just lets you do what you want to do and how to do it.
It is with some saddness that I'm gonna say goodbye to my space on my phone that Dapplr was occupying. Since I've been using Ecency I havent really needed to use it. And that space could be put to much more use by Ecency.
But Dapplr is pretty and has cool animations so I guess it's got that going for it.
