About this app

Your social media app should work for you. It should be light, functional and beautiful. It should look how you want it and be accessible everywhere, with lightning fast launch speeds. Metal does this. And more.

And now it supports Twitter, too. Two social networks, one tiny app.

Ratings and reviews

I used this to replace the Facebook App, but it appears to have been abandoned by the developer. That's a shame. Hasn't been updated since 2018. The only issue is that it refuses to close after some updates. Clicking the back arrow at the bottom toolbar on my phone just refreshes the screen. In most apps this closes the app. Overall it was a nice app.

The app has become jerky and glitchy as of late. Im not a big fan of the current UI actually. It's hard to find certain things. There present but hidden away w/out the users knowledge. It failed to upload my 6 mins and change video. It just craps out on me or hangs up when uploading anything. It feels like its aging and terribly. Apparently the developer is lazy or at least unresponsive. I agree Google Play should remove the app and hold developers to a higher standard.

I was so hopeful this app would replace Facebook, messenger and Twitter apps and still function smoothly. It crashes on some posts I'm creating. I have to do them again and then it crashes again closing that page. Unacceptable! Well so far it doesn't upload photos correctly, doesn't post my posts by mistake or whatever and I can only post one photo at a time in albums. Oh that's not good because Facebook app lets you upload 30 photos at a time. I won't tolerate that feature for long. WHERE'S FACEBOOK LIVE? I haven't seen the GIF feature which I used quite often. Twitter I couldn't upload a photo. I am not sure if it uses less battery, data or storage yet but still willing to try. Will use Facebook desktop site direct link for uploading photos & posting gifs. Make some improvements and I will increase the rating. I have asked others to give your app a try. Thanks for your efforts I think it has continued potential.
