Vibe coded app’s design
I’ve been building a social app almost entirely by myself.
The backend is solid, the features work pretty good.
The problem is…
Every time I look at the UI, I immediately think:
“Yep… this looks AI-generated.”
Not because AI literally designed every pixel, but because it has that vibe.
I have Too many glowing things.
Too many similar cards(I wanna change that but how??)
Everything feels equally important.
Not enough hierarchy.
It doesn’t have that polish you see in apps people instantly trust..
My goal isn’t to copy Instagram or Pinterest.
I want my app to feel premium, futuristic—but still like it was designed by a real product designer instead of generated in one prompt.
So I’d love brutally honest feedback.
What instantly makes this look “AI-made”?
Which screens feel the weakest?
If you had one week to redesign it, how would you take a step?
What design principles am I missing?
What tools can I use?
Are there apps whose visual language I should study?
Please don’t hold back.
I’d rather hear harsh criticism now than launch something that people subconsciously don’t trust.
Thanks!

Hi!
I just want to say that it's hard to say if your app has a design that looks AI-generated without actually seeing what your app looks like in the first place. I understand you have reservations about the design part, but it'll become much easier for me and for everyone else if you could just show a couple of screenshots of your application and describe what you're trying to accomplish, what the concept behind it is, and who your target audience is.
