Ask HN: What do you think of my android app?

It looks like its nicely designed. Do you need a lot of active users to make the app successful? Its not really obvious who answers the questions... maybe just add an answer question screenshot.

Nice app with similar concept but different and good implementation

The design needs some work, like the unstyled nav bar

> The idea behind the app is this - every question in this world can be asked in a simple short way, even complex questions can be asked in multiple short questions. The same goes with answers - every answer can be broken into multiple short answers.

Are you sure this is actually true, or is it just wishful thinking?

Complicated concepts cannot always be distilled into 140 characters, and not all questions can be answered in such a short space or indeed, in such a format. I would imagine that the vast majority of the questions and answers will be trivial, which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean that for any detail, users will need to look elsewhere.

This feels basically like one of those Twitter Poll apps, although many (most?) charge for their features.

Don't give up, but I think you need to focus on detail - otherwise this is just Jelly (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/jelly/id685652528?mt=8) with a less interesting UI.

The color, style, and usability are all great. Two things though:

I didnt know what the faces at the bottom mean until I clicked them. I dont think the faces should be changed, but maybe just a quick, "Hey, tap on this face if you don't know, or this face if you don't know and want to ask this question to someone else" at the app's first run.

Also, in my opinion, the "Please Wait..." should be replaced by "Loading..." Everyone know things have to load, but telling someone to wait makes them think that it is slow.

Good job making the app. It looks good, it is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it's enough to keep people hooked though. I think it's a great platform to keep building on.

Edit: You should probably put the United States at the very top of the list if you think most users are going to want to select that.

Load the next question when I am easing the current one.

I don't understand what the bottom two buttons mean.

Are you considering revamping the UI to match with Material Design soon? Also It might be worth while adding a onboarding experience before the user is set up in the app. This would allow you to explain the buttons at the bottom better (speaking of which it might be better to use two different icons, like change the one on the right to a "reply arrow" or something like forwarding so the user knows that the button means they will re-ask the question).
