Partiko Review

After seeing posted using Partiko on many of my Steemit comments lately, I decided to check it out.

I'm probably Steemits most loyal fan. Having only been on the platform 18 months, Steemit has seen me thru two moves, a kidnapping, video game dev school, and a near fatal accident. Needless to say: I'm a busy girl :)

Which means I have little time to mess around with anything less than the best. I'm hesitant to try something new after seeing so many apps and tools based on the Steem blockchain come and go. Seriously- even if you're not busy, (but who the heck isn't?!) who wants to waste precious time learning and nurturing a new app only to have the developers and users abandon it for the next shiny new thing?

The first important thing I noticed about Partiko is that many of my followers are already using it. That tells me it has a loyal and growing fanbase.

The reviews online are great so I headed over to the Play Store to try it on for size.

The second important thing I noticed is the developers are in constant communication with the users. That tells you a lot about an app. Once you begin to hear only crickets means one of two things- they are super swamped and need to go on a hiring spree, or they are abandoning the platform. I was personally welcomed by the team fairly quickly. As a marketer I can say that impressed me.

Partiko is currently in beta mode, but the developers are welcoming and implementing what they're learning from user feedback.

This is my first post using Partiko and I can see that there is an option to "use my Partiko points", of which I currently have zero. I'm not sure what this is for as of yet, but I'll certainly be writing about it in my future Partiko review post which I'll share after I've been using the app exclusively to post for two weeks to post to the Steemit platform.

Your can easily add an image, plus there's even a multi-image upoader. I use Steemit for my photos. A lot. Partiko will be stellar for photographers to showcase their work on Steemit.

The user-face is clean and simple. Beautiful- I like that. Everything is easy to find.

The only drawback I've encountered thus far is that the first letter of a sentence is not automatically capitalized, so I'm forced to go back and remedy that. That does take a few seconds away from my writing, however it's a small issue that I'm sure is easily fixed.

There is also an option to follow a post, which is awesome and something Steemit does not offer.

My consensus so far?

I think I'm falling in love.

I'll be posting a follow up review in a couple weeks- stay tuned!
