Ratings and reviews

This app really is just throwing itself in the garbage. It pushes reels so hard, but can't get them to work right, so I'll be scrolling them for a while, and when I close the app and click a different one later, the next swipes are same ones I had already seen, in the same exact order. It also tells me when to swipe a reel if I watch the same one a couple of times, as if it's giving me a tutorial on how to use it. Also posting images glitches edits and crops them weird no matter what you do.

Recently I've been having an issue with the app itself where it won't allow me to repost any posts, reels, or photos of someone else's from my explore page or feed from people I follow. The only thing I'm able to currently post onto my story is anything from my camera roll. I've tried updating it to the current update, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and logging in and out of the account as well. Hopefully I'm not the only one dealing with this issue currently.

The feed shows more and more reals from people that I don't follow. What is the point of following people if it ends up showing whatever the algorithm finds best? It would be great to have the option to switch between showing content of people you follow and what the algorithm suggests. Furthermore it seems there is a bug when trying to post multiple photos in a single feed. If you select one of the multiple fotos and you chop it (or move it) then it applies the change to all of the pictures.
