Power to the people. Not the platform. On Locals.

Ratings and reviews

Forced upgrade broke the app. Every time I launch a video the app crashes, and logging in using Rumble simply doesn't work (404 error). I've already cleared app data and cache, and reinstalled the app. Fix it, and I'll update my review. Edit: The latest version (2.1.5) is the one causing the issue, 2.1.4 doesn't have the crashing issue. I went ahead an downgraded for now.

**Update** I was eventually able to settle the issue below. Customer service is, as with all such online interactions, difficult. The app itself is quite good, and the liberties Locals offers content creators is a great alternative to YT. I am happy to resubmit my rating. [Following is my former complaint] Purchased coins did not get added to account. FAQ recommendations were no help. No contact info provided.

For the most part the android app seems to work ok. However, every update seems to break some feature and I'm not the one who thinks this. You'd think there's hundreds of developers who subscribe to someone on locals who'd sign up as devops beta testers and find these problems before the release push. The biggest missing feature is, what 2 or 3 years in, there's still no user to user messaging.
