Ratings and reviews

This app has so many stability issues. Are they still developing it? At first I was logged in but then got logged out for some reason. Then I couldn't log back in. Tonight I reset my phone for unrelated reasons, and I've been trying to get back into this app, but it won't launch. It quits unexpectedly on launch. My phone is a Pixel 9 with the latest OS, and the app is up to date.

This app feels like a broken version of FB Reels. I don't even want a working version of that. For two days I tried a collective 8 times to make a post and was only successful once. But if I just go on BlueSky itself I have zero problems, and that's where they end up anyway. The feed is laughable, it's not even a feed. I see annoying videos I can't stop hearing when I navigate away from them. And at times the audio is overlapping other videos.

As others have said, it really needs work. I want to like it and engage with it, but it's basically impossible in its current state. Constant freezes and crashes, home feed is confusing in how it works (if it even works), opening the comment section on videos gives you the tech equivalent of a toddler tantrum. We'll stick with y'all if you keep working at it, so please do. It's got the potential to be a great alternative to "the other" big video platform.
