Editors Review:

The ability to edit, delete, and archive previously submitted work would make this app a lot less frustrating. Sometimes one may upload a piece of work that they like at the time then later decide that they no longer want it to be in public view or have something that they only want up for a while but not forever. Then there are other times where I have hesitation to upload because I know that I'll never be able to take it down. It would be easy to avoid this stress if there was a delete or 'hide' button right in the post making it possible to delete the post of your page or simply hide it from public eye. Another thing that would improve this app is if there were an edit button right on the post just incase there was a need for updating the description or there some errors in a piece of text that needed to be fixed. Although the factor of permanence causes me to thoroughly check and edit my work before submitting, I believe that an author/artist should have full control over their work especially when allowing the internet access to it.

I love the app most of the time, but if there was one thing I'd like to change it would be this: I wish the app could allow me to save drafts of my fanfictions and allow me to edit them even after they've been published. It's very frustrating that I can't correct a simple error in my work (I am human and sometimes autocorrect messes up what I was trying to say. Ex. I type 'front' and it somehow thinks that I want to say 'from'. But I wish I could save some of my fanfics on my phone so I can return to them. I know I can correct them on the computer; but unfortunately, my computer is slow as dirt. And it freezes every so often. Also the other problem with no being able to save your work is that: I can't make a rough draft and take a break from it to finish it later. Sometimes I need a break from writing so I can gather more ideas. I'm only human and I've been faced with writer's block. So I implore the creators of this app to try and create some way to save our work on our accounts no matter what platform we are using.

So I've been on deviantart for around 7 months now and it's a great service it allows people to easily share their art and gather a following, however this is not what the app should be. There are so many features missing from the app that are vital for getting the most out of the experience. As far as browsing goes it's great! You can search up anything you want and switch categories with ease. However it's from the creator's side that this is lacking it is impossible to find groups via the app as well as see things like badges, llamas, or that you're able to sell prints. For the first few months I had only used the app and I didn't even know that these features existed until one of my friends who had been on there for a long time told me about them. So basically this app is fine if you are just using it to see notifications on the go or something like that but not for posting work and sharing on groups ( two things that are quite vital to finding people that like your stuff )
