Both didn’t work. ### 1/5 — App buggy *2025-07-07, version 1.0.1* I love the idea but the app is very buggy ### 1/5 — Audio issues *2025-06-10, version 1.0.1* The audio everything a video plays it’s always muted all the time please fix this ### 2/5 — Good chances *2025-09-29, version 1.0.1* There is a drifting on the videos when scrolling down. So each next video is going down and down on the screen. I wish this app could shadow titktok ### 3/5 — Okay but…. *2025-07-15, version 1.0.1* This app, and the other by the developer, is okay. But it needs an ipad interface just not an iPhone interface ### 3/5 — 👎 Needs iPad Support *2025-03-21, version 1.0.1* Needs iPad Support ### 3/5 — I remain optimistic *2025-03-08, version 1.0.1* Good app. The only issue I face is audio. When I scroll to a video the sound is muted by default. I have to mute and unmute the video to hear audio. Fix this and I’ll upgrade to 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Great alternative but.... *2025-02-05, version 1.0* The app works pretty well and seems really promosing but there a few issues with the app. Navigating around the app can be a bit of a chore, the app stutters when trying to search videos and takes a bit for comments to open up. Also the video playback has an issue where if you exit out of a comment section the video stops working and videos before it also stop playing, but it did fix itself not too long after. My major issue that I have with the app is the over abundance of political videos. I understand if you guys may not be able to do much about it because the app is finding videos from Bluesky and a good chunk of those videos have a lot of likes but as someone who's been trying to filter out political content due to mental health its very annoying that more than half of the videos on my feed are political related and very little of it has videos that relate to my interests. Again this app shows a lot of promise as an alternative of Tik Tok but there are few issues thats holding it back. ### 4/5 — Sound on videos *2025-03-11, version 1.0.1* I overall like the app but I’m seeing a weird issue where if I have my headphones in, sound on videos play fine but if I am just using the speakers on the phone, the videos have no sound unless I toggle the speaker button to the bottom right of the video to mute and then back to on. iOS 18.4 (22E5216h) ### 4/5 — Nice work *2025-02-14, version 1.0* This is a great idea and I’m glad it exists! Agreed with the other reviewer about the sound being switched off when the phone is on silent. You have to turn it on on every individual video too, so it would be nice if you could control this via a setting. Also, YouTube links show up as blank thumbnails in your profile, (with the links being un-clickable). ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great TikTok Replacement *2026-07-24, version 1.0.1* So glad that BlueSky has a TikTok replacement. Less users on there but hey it’s nice to control what I see and have hate speech moderated ### 5/5 — An absolute delight to use! *2025-03-13, version 1.0.1* Makes browsing videos from Bluesky really fun. Dev clearly knows what he’s doing and has a strong attention to even the smallest details. The basics are done really well and the whole experience is very polished. Two thumbs up 👍 👍 ### 5/5 — Give it a chance *2025-02-26, version 1.0.1* All new apps will have hiccups, but considering how the main platform for Bluesky is looking I believe the developers will have everything sorted out. They are open to suggestions from the users, don't be afraid to reach out to them. ### 5/5 — Good app with great potential *2025-02-05, version 1.0* The BlueSky network does it again. The app is off to a good start with great potential. Great alt to TikTok. No ads is a huge plusm ### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic *2025-02-04, version 1.0* Only issues I am facing, I have to mute, and then unmute a video to get sound and the other is that anything I upload disappears. I am only able to upload through Bluesky specifically. ### 5/5 — Great alternative to TikTok *2025-02-04, version 1.0* Don’t let the newness of this app push you away from trying it. The onboarding was super quick and easy (especially if you have a BlueSky account already, but if you don’t have one, you can get one in the app). Also, the overall quality of the app is solid, with responsive buttons and an easy to use UI. Built on the same tech as BlueSky, you don’t need to even worry about ads and if you wanted to… the main app can be used too. Overall, really impressed with this app and kudos to the developer for making this! ### 4/5 — Pretty cool *2025-02-07, version 1.0* A nice way to look at videos from around Bluesky in an endless-scroll style interface. I do wish sound worked while my iPhone was on silent, however. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
