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.

The new ads that interrupt page videos every few seconds are too much. Put them in between videos if you have to, but now it feels like the ads are being shoved in my face. I just close the app when I see them now, so I guess it's helping reduce my screen time. Bad user experience though, just seems like an obvious tactic to annoy people into paying for the premium version.
