My review of the desktop app Utopia.The download went fine and didn't have any issues.
Utopia is one of the applications that I use every day to safely interact with people in it, and I also like to listen to Umusik that Utopia provides.
Utopia being a decentralized application for interacting and having freedom of opinion in it is what makes it interesting too, it can also carry out p2p interactions and transactions without third party supervision.
It also helps me in interacting with multiple people universally by simply connecting the two users' public keys to do the interaction, and I don't think having anyone watching over it makes me feel free.
Some of my main highlights in this Utopia application are:
1. Chat feature
Most of this feature I have explained above.
2. Uwallet features
This allows me to send or swap my CRP and or have crypto cards to make transactions quickly using CRP, and the cost I think is quite cheap in this case and or exchange CRP to UUSD or vice versa and or else I can monitor my crypto cards and make purchases.
3.Uvouchers
Very interesting, here I can share CRP with friends in my group via the Uvoucher feature and make them compete to get the CRP that I share, also if I send gifts using Uvoucher if I'm too lazy to send them directly.
And it's also interesting that I can write a memo when I send my CRP to the recipient.
4. Games
Poker and chess, that might be quite an interesting game for a 1 vs 1 game, but it would be nice in the future to be able to add game options, such as billiards or games that can be done in groups.
Some of my problems:
1.
I use a 14-inch PC screen, when I use the normal size on my device at 150% scale, the Utopia display can't show all the screens that my application should display, I've used the Full Screen view tools, it still doesn't display all parts of the display that should be displayed, therefore I have to scale down my screen size to 125% on my device, but that's all the sizes are so small, of course my activity in other applications on my device feels disturbed, I hope the developer can make the application more user-friendly a variation in display size with different screen sizes.
2. Internet costs are quite expensive for me, in the previous version I used an internet fee of 1mb/sec in Enhanched Privacy network mode and 500kb/sec Normal network mode.
But after I updated to version 1.2.534 the internet fee increased, to 1.5mb-2mb/sec in Enhanched privacy network mode and 600kb-1mb/sec normal network mode, I think it's quite expensive for me, maybe the developer can provide a solution to this problem.
Advanced suggestions:
For the tools/tab display at the top of Utopia, the File, Edit, Search, contacts, view and other buttons, I think if the center alignment might be better and more comfortable, because the average social media application today uses a center aligned view in its main view, If you use Align left like this I think it's like an old school website, IMO, but for the theme it's very interesting and I like it.
I've try features70% of what I've used in this app, the rest I haven't tried yet, due to several factors, but so far it's been pretty good and responsive and highly recommended if you want a decentralized app.
