Leave a Review Bluesky Social
Few bugs here and there! Will be a great app with some time!
A few bugs (?) exist currently: the most glaring one is not getting push notifications for likes or reposts even though app permissions are enabled. Not sure if this just isn’t implemented or an actual bug.
Feature request:
1) Currently, when I launch the app, it does not seem to re-poll the feed I’m on for new posts. Ideally, it would re-poll but leave me where I left off on the feed and allow me to jump to the top with the button that already exists. (Again not sure if this is current intended behavior or not implemented). Still new to Bluesky.
2) Support for direct messages would be cool!Show less93Dylanb
Keeps getting better
Whole twitter is burnt to the ground by a man-child; BlueSky team are rolling out updates consistently, responding fast in app and just a pleasure to witness.
Patiently waiting for them to go public and sharing codes as I go to get great people in!jvdb91
The Best Successor to Twitter
While it may take a while to get in, it definitely has one thing... A very welcoming community! I also love the general design of the app itself (I'm just not that big of a fan of the current icon, being a general picture of clouds)
It feels like a proper Twitter successor where people can be safer than what Elon Musk has brought, and it's worth it for the wait to get in. One thing to remember is that it won't be closed off forever. I like to think the reason it's currently closed off is because they don't want to bring any bad people (fascists) in.Show lessRoseliaX64
Don’t hold your breath
This invite-only platform has been sitting prettily on my iPhone for (literally) months, doing nothing. I’ve seen many celebrities tout what a lovely time they’re having on it and how much better it was than the “birbsite”, and that’s great. But what other social media has is egalitarianism and the potential for the big names to interact with even their smallest fans. Bluesky’s walled garden ensures that’ll never happen. I’m not holding out for the invitation anymore. Deleting.Show lessnutjob
Most worthless app
This is the most worthless app on my phone. Even apps I haven’t used in a year are worth more than this one! Why? Because I can at least still open those year old apps and use them. This app just sits on my phone waiting to be accessed. I’ve been on this “waiting list” for a VERY long time, but haven’t even received an email that says, “Hang on, we are getting there.” Just plain useless and really shakes my faith in the ability of this new site to even be worth something because Meta’s new social media site is going to be open before Bluesky and they will have nobody to blame but themselves because people are tired of a useless app sitting on their phones just waiting to be used.Show lessjkcanewton
I smell a clubhouse-like death
Remember clubhouse? They took forever to let folks in, and then it just died. Look, I get exclusivity and trying to build buzz. I get wanting to gate-keep and build a good community first. But for those of us who have faded from/quit certain social media because of the toxicity, it’s really unfair to make those looking for refuge wait. Y’all have just waited too long to let some of us in, and we are very angry. We will not be quick to (or likely may never) forgive. Bluesky could have created a better way to let folks in who aren’t connected/have lost connection. It now seems EXACTLY like clubhouse. A lot of big names and elites there (I don’t mean elite in the derogatory way it has been used in politically charged discourse. I just simply mean folks with power, pull, celebrity, connections, etc.). But y’all only seem to care about making sure they are happy. But when you finally let the rest of us normal folks in, we’ll not care. And the elites will then have lost interest/found there isn’t a way to monetize/build real engagement. And, just like clubhouse, Bluesky will die. Y’all deserve this when it comes. I’m just gonna be grateful for the geeks and developers I interact with NOW on Mastodon. I’m over waiting. Deleting this app. I will now ignore any emails, from Bluesky, about an invite. Just like I did with clubhouse when they finally got around to us lowly, everyday folks.Show less8 bit snow
A Social Media Platform No One Can Use
What a great way to launch a new social media platform, by gating off entrance so people sell codes and run scams pretending to sell codes, it’s like Elon Musk is running Bluesky as well. Why can I download something I can’t use? Since when did the App Store start carrying early access? Excited to hand over your email address for a mailing list to be monetized on while people with money get to play in a walled garden?
New old CEO same as old new CEO, why does this trash even occupy space on the App Store?Show lessBillGonzalez
love it
has twitter aliveness in a way *nothing* else has, but WAY more potential. soon you’ll be able to use custom algos, clients, etc. which will bring upon an age of healthy, thoughtful discourse 😌 also, you can exist without paying a tax (twitter blue) and link to substack without getting banned 😂Coolcade
Why the wait?
They’re putting people on waitlist for ever, the enthusiasm is slowly dying out. Now I see some people trying to sell the invite codes. Is that their endgame? 🤷♂️
Come on, guys! If you let some people in on the BETA version, why discriminate against others? Is there any serious technical reason why you’re keeping some people in the dark? Apple didn’t have to know me before signing me up for their Beta updates. They don’t have to, it’s a waste of time!
If it takes more than another month for me to get the invite, then forget this.Show lessTHE REAL LION
It’s getting BETA all the time
I’ve never seen a more responsive and conscious team on any project of any type. CEO Jay is working to build the app, build a team, and connect with people on the app and even in real life!
The entire team is dedicated and their commitment really shows.
This app isn’t near finished at this time.
If you’re expecting an app with features like Facebook or Twitter - you’re better off waiting until the app is officially released. If you want to complain about challenges on the app or bother people for invites - you especially need to wait until the official release.
This is an amazing team doing amazing work to usher in the next era of social media. An era that goes beyond extracting profit from human interactions and instead focuses on letting users control their own data. Excited to see this grow!Show lessAreeshaAn
