The fact we are still in beta speaks wonders....and if you remember back in July 2016 there was a hack of around like $80,000 that was soon resolved, but they announced the hack on the front page of steemit....everyone who I told about steemit laughed when the hacking warning was the first thing they saw....
They say they were focused on scaling instead of the UI but cmon what have they really been up to?
Take a look at Partiko app. New and a little short of features but solid as a rock and looks great :-)
