Is anyone else disappointed that they have not yet changed or improved any of the UX for the actual editing process? It involves soo much jumping around to fine tune an image, and when you have purchased all of the filter packs it takes forever to try each one or scroll/jump to a specific one.

Because the film style filter packs are what they were initially known for, I would think it's in their best interest to be constantly iterating that experience to be better/easier. I think in it's current state it encourages users to reuse the same filters over and over and not try new things or experiment much.

I absolutely love these guys, but this new app is even more awkward to use than Snapchat... and I didn't think that was possible.

I think using the "circle" as the root of navigation is a very interesting path to follow, but the execution IRL feels a bit too "beta" to me. Things kind of "stutter" and jolt around while using it. In a lot of ways, it feels like all 4 "sections" were developed independently.

Being "clever" with an interface, just doesn't work. Plus vs Check? Circle vs X? Why are all the main actions at the top of my 6" screen?

How long does it take to learn how to use this weird interface? Do you really have that much time? I don't.

Classic case of aesthetics over usability. Made a simple app even more difficult to use.

Please no,

I'm the minority and I'm sorry to say this, but the app has lots of usability issues. I don't know how to open the camera for 5mins, then opened their blog, saw the video then swiped up the centre button to use the camera. With all due respect, value the usability before aesthetics.

First, the good: new icons are much better than the old ones (except for saturation, IMO) the library section I like, more streamlined, flatter design, easier navigation to edit, etc. Collected images is a nice addition, one feature I would love is if you could copy edits from them. But thats nitpicking.

And the bad: The social section still isn't all that useable to me. No feedback, liking, etc. Finding new users is close to impossible. and navigating out of users pages is clunky. When you click on a user, the only way to get back is to press the down arrow at the top left of the page. Which is fine, but if they added the circle nav, why not add the functionality to close a user page from it?

The whole app is clunky, stuttery and a little slow at times. I personally don't use the camera in VSCO, or the social section (because of previously mentioned flaws) So the better icons in the edit section are the main reason I am excited. Overall its a better design but it could use some work. Hopefully they will iron out some things in the near future.

Welcome new update!

When things get done in a new and different way people tend to complain. We seem to be scared of changes. But later when we look back we say “How could we live with that??“. Just think about the old iOS skeuomorphic design.

So, welcome new update. And congratulations to the VSCO team for having the courage to innovate and trying new things.

This really feels like a design update for the sake of a design update. It's one of the more baffling aspects of interface design and improvement, and I frequently question the motives of companies who are so willing to uproot a experience that has succeeded for X number of months or years, and completely turn it upside down. For what? I realize a massive app change can be adapted to, and the new process can become second-nature.

Progress and change are great; they make the world go round, they keep people like us employed, and they keep us engaged in what we do. I think we're unfortunately in the midst of such purposeless change these days when it comes to applications these days, and this update reflects that.
