Hey guys,

I'm working on a new app called Dashbook (http://dashbookapp.com/). In short, its a platform that allows you to see all of your information in one feed. Users also have the ability to add their own content into the library. News, scores, metrics or whatever else you are looking for. Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hope you guys like it,

Cheers!

Some comments I would have to say are:

It's a little buggy. I can see some stutter and lag when adding things to my dash or scrolling through my stuff.

I think letting users add their own things that they would care about is huge. Ie. If I can add my Instagram dash and allow it to show pictures from friends relevant from me.

All in all, if these are implemented I can see people using it all the time.

Thanks for your feedback, it's greatly appreciated!

We are working on making the user experience more fluid. We are hoping to release a new version in the coming weeks that will be extremely interactive.

Hope you stay tuned!

I usually don't really review Apps but I really like this and it has a lot of promise. A couple of other suggestions:

1. Perhaps have different themes, maybe it will help other users who have certain difficulties such as bad eyesight, colour blind etc. Also, allowing us to customize it really makes it "our own" dash. Perhaps simple as allowing us to choose from preset wallpapers or from our own Camera Roll.

2. On the iPad the dash should probably be a little bigger and allow us to choose from a variety of Dashes; however, these should be categorized into different categories such as 'Sports', 'Tech' and so we know exactly where to go without scrolling.

3. Bug fixes and fluidity

Keep up the work! I know these aren't easy to implement but I'm sure it'll help.

Best,
