Verdict
Design & Usability
Fairytrail is a dating app that has been making waves in the online world. But unfortunately, it’s not all good news when it comes to its design and usability. The first thing you’ll notice about Fairytrail is its garish color scheme – bright pink, purple and blue are splashed across the page like an eight-year-old’s birthday party gone wrong! It’s enough to make your eyes water just looking at it!
The interface isn’t much better either; there are too many buttons scattered around which makes navigation difficult. You’re left feeling overwhelmed by options rather than guided through them as you should be with any user experience (UX). Plus, some of these buttons don’t even work properly – so what’s the point? Not cool!
As for usability…well let’s just say I wouldn’t call this app ‘user friendly’. Even though they claim their sign up process only takes minutes – trust me on this one – those minutes will feel more like hours if you can actually manage to get yourself signed up without encountering any errors or glitches along the way (which happens often!). Once inside however things do improve slightly but still leave a lot to be desired from an UX perspective: menus aren’t intuitively laid out and important features seem hidden away behind obscure tabs where no one would think of looking unless told explicitly where they were located…not ideal for finding love quickly now is it?!
To top off my review I’d also add that while upgrading your subscription may give access to additional UI improvements such as larger profile photos etc., these enhancements really won’t make much difference if navigating through Fairytail remains so clunky anyway…so buyer beware!! All in all then: avoid using fairytail until major changes have been made otherwise prepare yourself for frustration galore!!!
