Ratings and reviews

I downloaded the app yesterday. I don't know if they're having server problems in the past 24 hours, but between yesterday and today the load time has been horrendous. I went to my browser to make sure I still had internet after nothing loaded for a full minute of waiting. I'll update my review accordingly once I have a better idea of the standard load time.

honestly, the app has spirit behind it, but considering over half the time it physically will not load anything and just be an empty, grey screen no matter how fast my wifi, how fast my Internet, how many times I reset my phone, or force stop the app, or clear the catch, I debate deleting it. I don't want to, because I do like what it stands for, and it's interface when I can get it to finally work once In that blue moon, but at this point it's starting to be a bit more trouble than it's worth.

Edit: I got logged out, I can't log back in or reset my password. Pros: The spoon staus and journal is a helpful tool, and the bio in the profile has great customization. Cons: ALT text limt is way too small, and it's barely used. It's laggy and buggy, and blocked people still end up on my feed. I suggest extending the ALT text character limt and adding a reminder to add ALT text. I also think it'd be nice to add a "relate" reaction.
