Every little bit helps. I had switched from steemit to steempeak because it had a feature that let's you save your favorite topics which sounded like it would help with searching. Unfortunately, I discovered that it's not finding most content, even posts I had made myself using the keyword were not showing while I can still find them in the traditional search.

The more developers improve the apps the better retention Steem will have. If Partiko is also a mobile app I'll check that out too, I hadn't figured out how to get access to the platform on my phone yet.
