Path – is amazing UX enough?

You’ve no doubt read that Path has recently revamped itself, and become not just a photo-sharing app, but a fully fledged mobile life streaming app. And it’s been receiving some very decent reviews.

The biggest highlight of Path 2.0 is the UI. It’s stunning. I think most would agree that this is the most gorgeous mobile app out there. The interactions and design flourishes are amazing.

Right now I’m trying it out. I’m finding friends, checking in, and post the occasional photo and update. Path’s point of difference has always been to limit the number of users that you can be friends with. To create a tighter social network. I think that’s an interesting idea.

I really want to like it. But the problem is, I don’t have a social networking problem. I spend enough time on Twitter, Instagram and Foursquare to really justify getting into another social networking app.

It is a delight to use. It really is. But is that enough?

    Nice eye! ;)

    I’m glad you picked up that post and not my earlier one! Love being more intimate on Path and sharing with a smaller trust network.

    Yep – thought I’d give http://thefetch.org/ a quick plug there :)

Got something to say? Go for it!
