Ratings and reviews

Pros: - no ads; - ability to save vids and images; - simple layout. Cons: - no shortcut for muting people; - options tend to show under phone's buttons; - polls and quote retweets don't show up properly; - the app saves position of viewed posts in a buggy way (ex.: there's 250 posts since last visit, app shows there's only 170 posts to see); - no ability to add or see bookmarks. Overall it's nice there's some alternative, but it needs polishing.

Decent but horribly laggy when scrolling...images never seen to stick in the timeline, they disappear when you scroll up and down despite having the "performance mode" setting on. Great points are low cost, no adverts, no "for you" tab, can customize timeline like the pre X twitter 3rd party apps... It's just not smooth enough...

No idea what dev's response says as it won't allow me to copy into translator app. FocusTwitterX seems to be ironing out some issues, my account has been operating effectively for a few days now so hopefully that will continue & API issues at an end. Definitely needs an option to turn off retweets however. Will update in a few weeks but definitely recommended if this keeps working. Thank you 👍
