I went to upload a review today. I encountered six screens / questions regarding the show I was reviewing. Three of the six screens contain just one-word with an emoji for your selection. For example: What did you like? - Acting, Direction, Costumes, +16 other descriptors. Then there are seven screens that are shaking you down for other marketing information like How often do you go to theater?, Tell us specifically about these other live events - they listed Every Brilliant Thing, Two Strangers, Liberation (which is weird because it is closed), Book of Mormon and CAT'S: The Jellicle Ball. Seen It? Heard of It? Not Heard of It? Which of these actors would you pay to see in another show?- They list of 11 actors. Where do you go for show info? -Select from an exhaustive list of media/publications/social sites, theater web sites.
After all that, the final screen asks: How would you describe the show to a friend in one or two sentences? Six emoji buttons are there for those who do not want to type text. I input two paragraphs. It thanked me for my review and said I would not be able to see it uploaded to my profile until the site is fully synchronized. Expected by March 2026.
Not a good user experience at all.
