Discord's mobile app is the worst one I've regularly used. I've never had an app that crashes from 2 gifs.
Or couldn't accept keyboard input from the stock keyboard.
Or wouldn't let me use the touch interface to move around because the UI got stuck, so I can't read any channel until I restart the app.
Or wouldn't notify you for people responding in DMs randomly.
Or have a hard time displaying videos that were uploaded to their servers.
Or keep saved and embedded gifs cached, so you didn't have to reload them every time, wasting data and time.
Or didn't randomly play audio from videos whenever you swiped away.
Or had the context menu require an internet connection, so if you have low data, good luck editing your messages!
