4.0.8

It's really slow and feels spammy

Was hoping the app would perform a bit better and maybe in the future, but currently I wouldn't bother unless you're ok with slow speed and minimal usability.

Please fix

So ever since the new update I can’t even reset my password it’s broken.

Promising with a lot of potential

I’m enjoying the app thus far. There seems to be glitch. You can’t directly respond to comments. You have to go to the person’s page. So you miss the opportunity to build your community.
It would help if they had some pre created “Spaces” like based off of age, hobbies, religion, etc. Over time people will naturally begin created their own spaces. Oh! New sponsors the app need more sponsors and it would be Next Gen to reach out to Black Businesses to shift them to the platform. Excellent way to build our own commerce on the platform.

So gross

This app moves slower than molasses. They removed the email address to reach out to customer service if you need assistance OR want to point out the glitches from their latest “app update”. Also, they removed my verification icon, the ability to like comments, “@“ users/members in comments, block people, and unblocked people that were previously blocked before the app update/website revamp.

It’s sad to see a website/app shutdown for over a week and when it’s revealed, it’s completely behind the times. From the original innovator to decades behind every other app that’s currently out is truly disappointing. #DoBetterBP

Abysmal App

I’ve maintained a BP account since 2000. When the app came out, it’s been consistently more horrible with each update. In a world where apps like Tagged still have a decent interface, BP seems to wallow in obscurity and that’s unfortunate.
