Ratings and reviews

So much better than X. The crowd is so much better. The engagement is so much better. The following rate is so much faster. The loads are not buggy. It's perfect. * for the creators, the X in the search bar doesn't erase typed contents in the search bar yet. And a minor edit being allowed (a few letters or symbols being added/removed) would be a gamechanger. X sucked for that. But overall, zero complaints. Download it and make the conversion.

The app is great but I'm not sure if it was my particular phone, but it was extremely difficult to login, it would show the keyboard for half a second and force it away after. For those that are struggling with this issue, i by passed it by attempting to spam the paste button on the login screen, eventually I got it. One thing I'm hoping for in the future, or if I haven't found it yet, a favorites section. On Twitter, i frequently use it to save art and comics that I really like to go back to

4 Stars (for now) The app itself has come a long way in just over a year and I see the improvements and features coming along steadily. It could use a few streamlining tweaks, but I'm ultimately happy with it. The platform itself? Wonderful! People seem much more positive in an environment without an algorithm or incentivized toxicity through monetary reward. Ads aren't there and engagement will come based on the merit of your content > the content of your wallet.
