Trump is doing what we the people voted for!MAGA! WWG1WGA! ### 5/5 — The truth is here!In God we Trust *2025-08-26, version 1.2.34* The most refreshing facet of truth social is not having to deal with the constant fact checking that occurs on other social media sites,let the light shine in! Free expression & free speech! ### 1/5 — Not free speech *2025-08-21, version 1.2.34* This app is absolutely NOT a free speech platform. It is the same thing as Jootube, heavily censored. ### 1/5 — Pure app *2025-08-10, version 1.2.34* The whole app is horrible ### 1/5 — Leaving 2nd1st *2025-08-04, version 1.2.34* As soon as you stop letting porn on the site, I would come back. Uncensored should not mean posting porn is acceptable. ### 3/5 — Good *2025-07-04, version 1.2.34* Not good enough ### 5/5 — Blocking *2025-06-29, version 1.2.34* Can’t seem to block Sylvester no matter how many times I block him ### 1/5 — Expectations met *2025-06-17, version 1.2.34* Near record levels of false information and exemplary amounts of lies or a failure to except reality. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Blocking *2026-05-07, version 1.2.34* Can’t seem to block Sylvester no matter how many times I block him. Has been taking over by Sylvester, not worth it anymore. ### 1/5 — Used to work *2026-04-16, version 1.2.34* I loved this app even though there was a spammer posting the same ridiculous stuff over and over. Now that I upgraded to iOS 26 the app won't load. Too bad for me as there were some great memes and information posted. 🤷🏼‍♂️ The app now works but is TOTALLY useless due to one spammer, Sylvester, who keeps changing his username and posts the same dribble hundreds of times! Unless the mods can find a way to permanently ban his ip address, there's no point in using this app. ### 1/5 — Ignorance *2026-04-08, version 1.2.34* I am amazed at the level of ignorance shown by so many. The lack of facts is astounding. It scares me to think these people are raising the future leaders of this country. ### 1/5 — Used to work *2026-01-29, version 1.2.34* I loved this app even though there was a spammer posting the same ridiculous stuff over and over. Now that I upgraded to iOS 26 the app won't load. Too bad for me as there were some great memes and information posted. 🤷🏼‍♂️ ### 1/5 — So sad *2026-01-28, version 1.2.34* Unable to open app ### 1/5 — I lost my account and it wouldn’t let me phone verify *2025-12-20, version 1.2.34* I sent my phone to them multiple times which it said it wasn’t used but I NEVER received a code 100% a scam do not recommend unless you want your identity stolen ### 1/5 — CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT. *2025-11-30, version 1.2.34* UNABLE TO VERIFY MY PHONE #. NO CODES SENT. LAME. ### 1/5 — App ask for my number *2025-11-25, version 1.2.34* This stupid app asks for my phone number but when I put it in it says enter the sent code , but there is no code sent !! Don’t send me this request again! ### 1/5 — They don’t seem to get it. *2025-08-24, version 1.2.34* They shout about being all about free speech with no censorship. But in red letters on the sign up screen you are told what you can’t say and what won’t be tolerated. That is not free speech and most certainly is censorship. Pass. ### 1/5 — Made by pedophiles, used by pedophiles. *2025-08-22, version 1.2.34* Just more MAGAs jerking each other off and molesting their children. Most likely used for child trafficking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-07-21, version 1.2.34* Love it ### 5/5 — Truth! *2026-03-08, version 1.2.34* Always good to have a source of truth in a world that loves the lies and deception. ### 5/5 — Fantastic site wow free speech is cool! *2026-02-24, version 1.2.34* This free speech concept is really cool. Facebook and YouTube should try it! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-02-06, version 1.2.34* 👍👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — 2nd1st *2026-02-02, version 1.2.34* Awesome not much woke ### 5/5 — review *2026-02-02, version 1.2.34* OUTSTANDING ### 5/5 — Unique *2025-12-07, version 1.2.34* Unique ### 5/5 — It’s a nice app *2025-11-28, version 1.2.34* I like it ### 5/5 — Facts Check News *2025-11-05, version 1.2.34* It’s awesome ### 5/5 — Mr real *2025-10-16, version 1.2.34* Nice app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
