Ratings and reviews

Great potential, much needed alternative to Instagram. That's where the compliments end, unfortunately. While it is getting better, and requested features are being added (batch select photos, better quality app), I'm having one glaring issue where all your uploads crop into this weird aspect ratio. The images are fine when viewed on web, but I shouldn't have to direct anyone to view my posts on web, when they're already in the app.

I like it, it is refreshing. Much like instagram of old before it was consumed by meta, reels, and stories. It needs some tweaks that I'm sure will get figured out. No dark mode, no way to see comments I've made, captions don't expand and it will only access 4 of my 13 picture albums when I want to post. Those are my biggest gripes. I'd be happy to replace instagram completely with this so long as it improves and gains traction. I will filter off instagram and start using this more regardless

Good start! I'd like to see some QOL updates, like being able to expand all of the text on a post by tapping the ellipses instead of pressing "view post", and I can't figure out a way to edit my profile or username from the app itself (I had to edit my profile on my PC), but I'm excited to see it grow. Would love to give it five stars in the future.
