  • Great Start BlueSky

    For those who miss old Twitter, this is as close as you can get to it. Not only that, but new features, such as custom feeds. A feature that was really needed by Twitter. I will say, I miss the Trending tab and Bookmarks, but I’m sure these features are to come. Also, my profile picture seems to default black photo even when I set an actual photo. Again, I am sure these things will get fixed. Overall, a great beta! Can’t wait to see what comes.

  • iPad version please

    I just joined today after spending 1 year on the waiting list and I am interested so far but was disappointed to find out there isn’t an iPad version of this app (like Twitter has) so I am stuck looking at a small screen when I use this app on my iPad. Please make an iPad version then I will change to 5 stars. Also love that this app has a translate feature for other languages but I don’t like that it opens the google translate app instead of just showing the translation in the Bluesky app.

  • Needs HASHTAGS, DMs, notifications…

    I love the app but it needs working hashtags. They make it easier to find people to follow and keep up with certain topics, etc. it also needs DMs & the ability to turn on notifications for posts from a profile, because there are people that I follow to keep up with important urgent information.

    I am trying to get settled in here and hopefully so will more of the people that provide important information I need to keep up with before Twitter gets even worse than it already is.

    Currently I still have to rely on Twitter for the post notifications because I can’t get them on here & the people who I have them set for either don’t post here much because they can’t cross-post to bluesky along with other platforms, haven’t even tried to sign up yet as far as I can tell, or they’re not impressed because the app still doesn’t have certain functions that make it easy to reach the audience they cater to.

    Btw, why does the app only allow ONE notification at a time for replies, likes, and such? As soon as another one comes in the previous one disappears. That’s a HUGE inconvenience.

  • Need to give more user control on content preferences.

    I know Bluesky have “no algorithm” but let’s be honest, everyone is seeing at least 20+ furry post a day. Nothing against people with those interest but it is clearly not for everyone - and as invite only platform Bluesky currently are predominately occupied by furry community. Again, nothing against it, it’s just not for me. It offers “for you” page but it is clearly not working. You can try to join a mute list subscription but it’s gonna always come through. Other feedback - app needs to be more polished especially with touch input sensitivity, it seems like the menu pop ups are more touch sensitive compare to other apps. Also haptic feedback on app would be nice bonus.

  • I‘m in Heaven 💙

    I hope Bluesky will go public someday. It’s the absolut Twitter Clon and I love it. It’s still in Beta and I got the invite from a friend. A view Newstations are also already there. But it’s in Beta and not public yet. People on here forget about it. Don’t give 1 star review for a Beta version if you have no idea how Betas work. I like to it and it has great potential. I’m also on Threads but it belongs to Facebook/Instagram 😑 I hope Bluesky will become the new Twitter!

  • Great start, needs polish

    Somehow they screwed up the toggles. An important toggle is the “mature content filter” and I’ve had it mess up on me. I’ve literally seen those toggles flip back to its original position after I tapped it. Never had issues with basic UI like this before. I wish I could set it with a focus mode or schedule but I’ll take WORKING to start.

    Also there’s no DMs, really limits interactions when you can’t take private info to a private place. You can’t trade any info on Bluesky without it being public.

  • It Is Time To Remove This App from the App Store

    I have been waiting forever to use this app. I have spent too long waiting to use it. Only selected users are allowed to use this app. Well, many use this app in my face while I’m still waiting to use it, I have decided to remove it from my iPhone 14 Pro Max 1 TB. The Apple App Store does not need to help app makers who conduct their business as if they were some type of secret society. This app creator needs to take his or her app straight to a dot whatever and needs to be removed from the Apple App Store. I strongly suggest end-users try the newly revamped, former-Twitter called, X.

  • Not a good place to be

    Unless you enjoyed the feeling of being in high school with the twist of people getting away with telling one another to kill themselves with zero repercussions, you may want to give this one a pass.

    It started out not so bad, but as it got bigger and people got comfortable and the masks came off, the hate really came out. There have been several targeted attacks on communities with slow reactions from the dev team and even then there is no sign of a true Trust and Safety Team coming in. This past weekend I counted 15 separate incidents of people actively inviting others to harm themselves or wishing death on someone and not one thing was done to remove the posts. This isn’t a healthy or safe environment for a productive society. It makes me sad as I was so excited about this app when I first joined and touted how different it was to all who would listen. It wasn’t even a hard decision to delete my account just like I deleted my twitter account when that became toxic.

  • Loving it so far

    Pretty much like old twitter. My only complaint is that I wish there was a photo album i could long term post photos in. Its one of the few things i felt twitter was missing in its glory days. I even so, its fluid and im having no problems with it. The user face is quite simple. Will still give it 5 stars

  • UI

    Just got accepted into Bluesky a couple days ago. It's not bad, I realize it's still in beta mode but one thing that makes the user experience frustrating is that you can barely tell which replies are threaded in response to somebody else or to the original post. It makes my brain trip every time I go to the replies which is honestly the biggest deterrent for me with this app. Besides that, not bad for a developing app.
