Highly recommended this app! 💚

Bluesky is one of my favorite social media apps! I highly recommend this app! You should give it a try! I think you might find it to be a much better experience than most of the other social apps that are out right now!

Disappointed

It’s not what it seems to be it’s controlling what people do on their feeds I’d give it a no star if I could and plus I can’t get my account back someone else has it

User was banned for this post

They’ll suspend your account if you know what a joke is and aren’t a scold and the topics are apolitical

iPad version looks great

iPad version very nicely UI’d, however it seems to be eating battery life faster than the soup du jour at the deli

Nice alternative to Twitter!

Aside from having issues saving pictures or videos and still hoping we’re able to share pictures in messages and such, this is a nice alternative to Twitter when you mute what you don’t want and control only what you want to see. Been with it since 2024 and it’s worth it.

How tone deaf.

I have always disliked twitter. I had an account for about one day before deleting it. I saw people were using Bluesky and I was stoked to have an alternative! Now they’re just turning into Twitter. They built this following of “come over here were diffeeent!” Only to follow the same course… pro-Gen AI company that keeps letting people get away with more and more. Absolutely tone deaf desicion making a company that wishes it could be Twitter and is considered the alternative. Disgusting

Need to give them all your ID

Is Australia, need either a government issued ID with all of my details - or my credit card with my account details…we are in the age of scam but before we can use social media we need to provide everything to perfectly scam us? No thank you


**tried to log in again since twitter is owned by a terrorist…turns out my password has been hacked and I’ll need to change it immediately..still need to upload all personal ID before I can access the app…

iPad

Finally optimized for iPad and it’s beautiful. Thanks for listening! ❤️

Love it!

I love the new update for IPad. The interface looks really nice now. 🥰

Can you please fix the screen/keypad?

Ref below - the “official” Bluesky app now provides proper iPad support - using the full screen instead of mere slit, and using the iPad’s keypad instead of providing its own tiny-finger version inside the slot. This app always had an edge on functionality, but presentation has been brought into line with 3rd party apps I use, Skeets and Boost Blue. Initial review: “”I use two apps for Bluesky - this one, and Graysky. This one has some advantages, notably you can create a thread of posts and post all at once, you can save a draft, and you can have a pinned post on your profile,page, BUT it is horrible in one important respect - you have to type your posts inside a tiny letterbox the size of a smartphone screen, whereas Greysky uses the main iPad keyboard.
Could you please fix that? Then I would only need the one app.”

Response from developer

The latest version supports iPad!

native iPad now

thanks

Not happy

Not happy with the visual changes in the latest IPAD version. Doesnt appear to be any way to increase the font size. The switch in the settings/appearence does nothing. Not acceptable for the low visioned. Ok correction. The font switch does work, just doesnt help.

iPad support finally!

So glad to see this app finally supporting the iPad.

Update fault

Every time I try to post the app crashes

Safety Warning - Jittery / flashing screen and glitches

When scrolling through content the app screen judders and stutters. This effectively causes the effect of a rapidly flashing screen which is really bad news for some people and could cause fits.

If the app developer does not rapidly fix this issue then the app should be withdrawn for safety reasons !

Just dead

This is just like MySpace dead don’t waste your time with this one

Silencing and suspending users

Vibe banning without detailing the reasons for the ban now powered by AI, causing swaths of people to be wrongly suspended. 2.5 million users to 1.5 million in a year because of this kind of silly leadership. Dying app due to poor management, including the head of Trust and Safety who spends his days expressing antitrans views and bullying, blocking, and banning dissenters. Look elsewhere, bsky won’t be anything in a year if they cant course correct.

Good Wholesome Experience.

I’ve had an account about 6 months and I’ve got on really well with the App, without any issues. Much better Social than you know who’s! That I have errors on one account, no access to groups, follower/following issues, (health, no restrictions) and totally ignored by their support for months. In only six months on BSky, I now have more followers than the above in, 10 years! Being a highly qualified digital artist, I no longer feel heavily restricted, restrained, or short of cash censorship and more freely able to engage with people genuinely interested in what I’m creating and producing. Rather than how much spare funds I can afford to waist for what has become, Ens**tification central on the above platform(s), with the added bonus of their AI now Sh4dowbanning users $$. Thank you so much BlueSky and thank heavens for decentralisation!!!

No iPad version

without a native iPad version, I don’t believe the company is seriously in business. Update: after a few years, still no iPad version. I wish I could rate 0 star.
