It has potential, however, the first thing you should do is create separate tabs. A tab for all your keens, a tab for exploring, and a tab for some sort of timeline, to see what your friends have posted. You should definitely put everything on the bottom, since that's the trend. You need a dark theme. you need some sort of border of separation between the various potential follows. You need some color. Everything is white. Don't do blue. It's been done to death. May I suggest a warm color.

Seems like a good idea in theory. Much needs to be addressed in practice. Opens in Chrome- not for that at all. Extremely confusing at first, no tutorial. Privacy settings? Search is not intuitive, hinders speed of use of app. Does not have a free-flow of images to select from (tries too hard not to feel like Pinterest). My suggestion is to scrap it and start over. It's a good idea and I'd like to use it regularly someday.

I think I might be too early for Keen. It just refuses to work for me. I can follow just fine but creating my own keens ends in 100% failure every time. The app just tells me I've found a bug and to report it. I don't know, maybe my internet is too slow or my phone is too low end. I'll keep it for a little while longer because I can see the promise in its premise, its just not there yet.

The Potential is there. It's actually a pretty good app for the first release. A few suggestions : The bar with the Settings, Logo, and "add Keen" button shouldn't be at the top, since people with large screen devices would have a really bad user experience. Put everything on the bottom. The UI needs more color. Its just too white. Also in the future, implement a dark theme.

I've been messing around with this for an hour or so now. I really like the design and idea. Much cleaner than Pinterest. I think some people may misunderstand what it is exactly. It's not a native platform. It is a space to share to other links and whatnot. I'm hoping to continue liking it as I use it more. I've already followed a few keens and created my own for my local town.

Lots of potential that I look forward to. It appears to be a chrome based app which means it will run using the chrome engine. The upside being that it takes up almost no space on your phone, the downside being that you need a good internet connection in order to run it and it cannot run offline (though why you would want to use a social media offline, I'm not sure) Hope they stick with it long enough for it to get great, streamline the design and iron out those glitches.
