About this app

Backers on Kickstarter are passionate, creative visionaries that find joy and connection in funding new ideas and bringing them to life. Discover projects in categories like art, design, film, games, hardware, and music, then pledge to your favorites right from the app. Make the world a more creative and innovative place while receiving awesome (and often exclusive) rewards.

With the Kickstarter app, you can:

• Join like-minded backers to help make new ideas a reality.
• Stay connected with updates from projects you’ve backed.
• Save your favorites and get reminders before projects end.

Project creators can stay up to date from anywhere:

• Easily track your funding progress.
• Keep up with comments and pledges.
• Post updates and respond to backer messages.

For the past few weeks, the app has been buggy to the point of almost being unusable. I always get a red "Something Went Wrong" error when I try to change rewards or manage my pledge. I have cleared my cache, uninstalled/reinstalled, and still nothing. The site seems to be okay but it's just annoying to not be able to use the app.

Mostly a really good app. It's missing a bunch of functionality from desktop, which is normal but disappointing. Largest missing feature I've noticed recently is a lack of comments on Update posts, but it's just generally harder to search or explore (because the website is good, not because the app is bad)

The app is easy to use and the opportunities for early investments, with rewards, are frequently worth the time and money. The reasons I don't give Kickstarter five stars is because sometimes the wait for rewards is delayed, and because there's always the risk of a start up failing to deliver. Remember, this is NOT a store. If you lack patience and are on a tight budget this may not be suitable for you.
