What are some apps that are very very slow for no reason?

Discord. It takes like 12 seconds to start each time I launch it. Of course it’s plenty fast after that, so I guess it’s just the startup time that’s slow.

My laptop boots up in the same amount of time as discord starting up. That is kind of sad.

If anything it’s pretty wild how fast computers start nowadays.

Gotta register the mandatory tracking modules for the CIA, Red Army, MI6, Mossad, and FSB.

Slack starts faster for me, but it’s also awful.

Discord takes around a second to launch for me. Even after force-stopped.
Interesting.

Discord takes about 6-8 seconds for me, but if you think that’s bad Steam takes 3 times that time for me.

Another problem with discord is CPU usage, it randomly decides to eat 40% of my i5-10400. Even while playing

Hopefully one day we’ll see something like Element X for desktop. Right now the only way to run it on PC is through the iOS compatibility thing that some MacBooks have, AFAIK.

The Walmart app and the website itself are absolutely horrendous. You’d think I was using a Windows 98 PC and a dialup modem every time I try to use it I swear. No idea how it’s so shit and I don’t think I’ve ever used a less optimized website in my life beyond overloaded Lemmy instances.

Just use a browser. Amazon app is the only one that can arguably be justified. Even then, I know im trading my soul. Fight me, guys

I use it too, but came here to list it as my stupidly slow app also. You literally own AWS, how can a search for “Black T-shirt” take 40 seconds to load?! If you’re going to be an evil corporate monopoly at least be quick about it.

The browser version for Walmart is honestly probably even worse than the app. I don’t know how they made a website so terrible.

What does the Amazon App have that the website doesn’t? I’ve just been using the website, now I’m wondering what I’m missing out on

Discord and Snapchat for Android. Both are laggy as fuck, and Discord can’t seem to fix their app’s many bugs.

Snapchat has always run great on Pixel. Google has worked with them many times to implement new features, though.

Like the Pixel visual core back in the day, the double tap the back to launch feature, etc.

Can’t really comment on other Android phones.
