Ratings and reviews

This is my main messaging app, but now the ads interrupting the stories and reels is just plain annoying. I listen to the news and stories when I'm doing other things. Every time I have to stop and skip an ad, I make a mental note to never use that particular product. Ads like this don't work. It just agitates the audience and leads to less actual traffic. Gonna move to Insta instead because of it.

I have had Snapchat for around a year now, and I would LOVE to give it a five star, but I personally can't. Everything else is good, except- spotlight and stories. Now, yes, both are good at first, but the longer you are on Snapchat spotlight, the more of a chance you have to see porn hub things, made by other people, and there is too many to block. Now, stories. It's like spotlight, good at first, but with stories, the longer you watch them, the more ads you get, which are annoying.

Unfortunately, most of my friends use this as our default mode of communication, but the changes to the app over the last two years have made it terrible to use. I would love the option to disable many of the features such as the spotlight page, the public stories, and the AI. Instead, all of these features are forced to the top of my chat feed and mixed throughout my friends content. I currently have hundreds of public stories blocked, yet the same ones continue to show up after I block them.
