I've been using this app for years, and it's become a real safe space for me to express some things that I'm too afraid to express anywhere else. However, vent has always been so unstable. It had gotten much better this past year or so, and suddenly it's gone very bad again. Please give us a warning before breaking the entire app for multiple days next time

Hi there, our team of engineers worked throughout the day to get us back up and running. Even though we are back online our server needs time to recover, as it indexes, the app will still be slow. Please be patient as we try to resolve this. Please also check twitter for updates. We are so sorry & completely understand how frustrating it is!!

Staff rarely of ever listens to its user base. Half the features are broken still—the search constantly breaks, and I never get notifications for interactions. it's been a year at this point and it's an ongoing issue they've never resolved. I can use it and vent but half the time I use it to post and that's it. There's usage of certain 'premium' features behind a monthly pay wall such as the ability to mass-delete posts and have access to non-standard emotion packs, but theres no posting limit.

I do really like this app. It works as intended, you use it to vent. As for the UI I mentioned in my last review, it has improved so much and it's actually really nicely laid out now! However, some emotion sets for events like pride month, BLM etc are locked behind paywalls and I think that's bad because you're profiting off minorities, but they do become available for free when those times come around, eg pride month becomes free for the month of June, etc.
