Ratings and reviews

It's okay. The layout seems a bit iffy. Obviously, you can see the inspiration from X/Twitter, but the layout seems very "blocky." I would prefer a more soft and smooth look instead. Also, it would be cool to have a feature to be able to change the color of our background on the RGB color scale, like pink, green, blue, etc.

I'm enjoying the app so far. A very pleasant alternative to other similar social media. However, the app feels like it's missing optimization features. It runs well enough, but it's rather sluggish and choppy, sometimes even slow to process inputs. This could just be due to the influx of new user at the moment, me being one of them, but I would like to see better optimization in the near future. Another, smaller, issue is the algorithm. It doesn't seem to be all that good just yet, we shall see.

I can definitely tell this will one day become better than X, especially since the scam man is running that app into the ground. However there's a few things that need fixing first, and things needing to be added. Currently there's a bug that's not showing who followed me, and it's a little annoying. A couple things that should be added is a trending tab, and maybe an option to customize what's shown on our profiles, so that it's not so cluttered.
