I started out on Ecency and like their platform. I use Peaked more often now since it works really well in a mobile browser, but I’m still a fan of what Ecency is doing. !LUV

I have only been on Hive for 8 days and found it via Ecency. At the time I had no idea there were other frontends to Hive. I mainly use the Ecency mobile app for commenting and voting. But I find the desktop version better for writing posts as I can see a preview of how the post will look once I publish it. I like the fact that Ecency lets me earn points which I can use in various ways such as boosting or promoting posts, although I am still trying to get my head around how this works. So, although I'm not familiar with other frontends,

I have found ecency quite straight forward to use. The problem is understanding how Hive works. It would be great if there was a way of giving new users information on how it works, especially Resource Credits, when they first sign up. I think a lot of people don't stick around simply because they run out of RC and suddenly find there is little they can do. But knowing nothing about technology or how Hive frontends work, I don't know if there is anything that can be done about this.

Yes I do use both the Ecency site and app. I use the app more often when I am outside and don't have access to my laptop. My experience with the app is good, but I use it mostly for viewing. Most of my posting are still done on the desktop using various sites like you have mentioned.

It is without a doubt the application that I use the most almost from the beginning. It is very simple to use and clean in its execution. It is not the one that has the most statistics and services but I personally like to keep things simple.
The only but that I would put is the exchange of points. Sometimes they are returned and that is annoying. I don't know very well the reason why the same type of publications are accepted some times and not others.

Outside of using LeoFinance I end up using Ecency heavily. I love the UI and smooth surfing and browsing around the site. The notification system is on point with great filters and honestly it just makes for a very good UI with good layout and options.

That plus the points earned to allow me to promote my posts are a huge plus for getting some new awareness to my posts here on Hive which I think is one of the hardest things to do. I'd highly recommend anyone starting out to use the platform and stock up on those points. Write what you feel is a top of the line article and drop a vote from ecency on there and a 2-3 day promotion. Keep doing that as often as possible and you'll start to see your followers and exposure increase which is a critical element to your success here on hive.

I have been using the Ecency app for a while now. It is very convenient especially when you are on the go or want to immediately make a reply or comment. I have even creatsome posts a few months ago about how to use the app. I love it. I am even making this comment on the app. Take care.

I used the app a fair amount back in steem days. I wanted something that worked on mobile and the two options seemed to be ecency (then called esteem) and Partiko. They both had their strengths in my view. I never used PeakD then, whatever it was called then.

Since Hive, I've used PeakD mostly, still use ecency a smaller bit. As far as using the app, I'm sure it's great and works well. My thinking is that the PeakD interface works well on mobile (and I'm already accustomed to where things are), plus I don't need to download a native app onto my phone and take up space/update when updates come out. I'm a big fan of PWAs that exist in the cloud rather than native, downloaded apps.

I use ecency, but more to gain ecency points than whatnot. My posts are usually written and published on peakd.

I do like ecency and it's layout, however, the main thing that makes it lose out to peakd (for my usage) is the INABILITY to make customised lists.

I find it absolutely critical to have the ability to group authors into various groups. I do follow people on HIVE across a wide variety of topics and I don't want it all jumbled up. Makes for a jarring reading experience.

Experience...
I have already used it for around 7 months 🤔. I'm using it every day to do hive activities.

Good experience:

1. Just my preferences. UI of notifications and drafts are better than peakD and hive.blog 🧐
2. Ecency has ecency points to boost or promote posts. That's amusing :3
   

Bad experience:

1. The first impression of the discord community is bad. There was a misunderstanding and someone asked me to make my blockchain and shoo me out of the hive community. Maybe I just came to ecency's discord at a bad time. Luckily, it had already been solved by good people who understand my question. 🤗
   Main topic: Draft still can't save "Power up 100%" as a default to post. I need to change it from Default 50%/50% to Power Up 100% every time I publish. But, it works before publishing.
   

Ex:

• Edit to power up 100% -> Update draft -> Close and open it again tomorrow, it'll still power up 100% 👍
• Edit to power up 100% -> Update draft -> Publish -> Open the draft and it backs to Default 50%/50%

^The one that can do this is hive.blog with this feature

Overall, the ecency website is good and better than others for me.

Continue...
Mobile applications? Not yet... as I just use my smartphone for business only 😅.

I can imagine it as I'm already using the website version.

It's a pleasure to get more ecency points from taking parts of Liotes mission 👍

Ecency is my 2nd favourite Dapp and one that I use regularly. I have installed the mobile app and hope to use it more on the go.

1)What I like is that it is VERY reliable. It is usually always working when I need it. I cant even remember the last time there may have been an issue.
2)Nice and detailed notifications
3)Lots of ways to earn Ecency points
4)There seems to be active development and maintenance of the platform and responsible people around
5)Getting upvotes and support for my content from the ecency team

Possible improvements or nice to haves:
1)Better wallet functions, i feel happier working with peakd on wallet activities
2)Tradable ecency points on Hive Engine
3)Better filter/searching of content

Thanks Ecency Team! <3

A very good view on the matter. Thank you for making such an effort.
I hope we will continue to work well together, because tokenomics is quite a new thing and I am sure that in the next wave or bullish trend a lot will change.
btw: you can exclude me, there will be more points for someone else 😁

Ecency is an amazing app on the Hive ecosystem. I would say one of the best. The operation of Ecency is simply unique and the features are amazing.

Ecency is fast, sweet in UI/UX, Ecency rewards user loyalty with points and Ecency helps to retain hive users.

I made a whole post here about Ecency.

Thank you for this contest.

Ecency has been my best interface and I use it daily (posting, commenting, curating, reblogging, etc) and I got so used to it that it has became my "home" UI. Aside from that it is fast to load, I like that I can filter out the notifications. It gets hard to keep up with hundreds of notifs but I can easily filter them into "Replies", "Mentions" etc.

Added bonus are the Ecency points that I collect doing my usual activities adds up which I can use to boost my posts too.

I use the mobile app to be alerted whenever anyone votes or comments on my posts--that way I can be sure to respond in a timely manner. I also use it for quick posts of photos. I still prefer my computer for typing longer posts, though.

I use the Ecency Desktop app every day.
Use the Ecency to earn more points.
You can also use Ecency to view Hive Second Level Tokens.
I quite like Ecency.
Have a great day.

I use ecency when I need to post using mobile. However, I find it limiting in that once I have typed up a certain length, it goes blank for me and I'm unable to edit. I have found a way around it though. Personally I liked @dapplr when it was still working.

I haven't really used it, so no to the first two questions. But, sure, I could check it out :D

I use Ecency from almost day 1 of my Hive journey. Their point system is awesome, it gives the much needed incentive to people to engage and rewards with boost is a godsend for new users to jumpstart their blogging habits. They provide incentive for user retention, which is essential to the success of Hive.

Ecency is my major hang out page, it works well with me for engagements, concerning comments and replies to posts.

I don't use the app and only the web based frontend. I've been pleased with the overall experience using the site itself. The big stumbling block is running into the inability to post because of resource limits and being refunded my points. This is disappointing to experience and kills the flow especially for newer users to the site.

I have downloaded the app and use only to look for latest updates, I need to setup hivesigner before I fully utilize its features. Since I do my work at home, I only need ecency mobile app during travel time.

I found one things when I quickly swipe to another app and then return to Ecency app, it just hangs at heart logo screen, but after reopening it works fine.

Just saw this since I follow Liotes on LeoFinance but not on other front-ends (since I rarely use them).

I don't do much posting or curating on Ecency since I'm almost exclusively on LeoFinance, but I do like to use it for notifications. It's quick, clear, and very simple to use so I'm on it pretty much daily. I've amassed a few thousand points so if and when I start posting on a regular basis again, I'll be able to promote my posts. I like the fact that you basically get paid to use the front-end, even though the points aren't really worth much as an asset.

Still, who doesn't like watching their balance grow? :-)

I love Ecency although I am still quite new. I started off on another platform but I decided to make the switch to ecency. Mostly because of ecency points and how useful they are. I also liked creating communities on ecency better than other platforms for some reason. I also love how easy it is to earn ecency points. I never close the website because of it, but also as a side effect it has gotten me more and more into hive. Why bother browsing reddit, facebook, or twitter when I can just browse ecency and earn?? social media of the past is dead and ecency is the future.
