It’s also taking up a huge amount of storage space, close to 9 GB and clearing cache removed only a few MBs. Disappointing because it has my favorite UI among nostr apps and notifications also works the best. ### 2/5 — It’s ok at best *2026-01-10, version 1.14* If it wasn’t for the fact that it’ll randomly freeze for no reason and need a force close it would be a good app ### 3/5 — 不支持多账号 *2025-07-12, version 1.14* 不支持多账号，私信收不到消息 ### 4/5 — Good Nostr app *2025-06-21, version 1.14* The app works well for being somewhat early in it's development. You can't undo reposts and likes but that's because when you like and post stuff on nostr clients (not just Damus) it is doing so on multiple relays which kinda blows but that's what makes it immune to central control so it's actually a good thing. ### 3/5 — Kinda good app but needs some serious work 😒 *2025-04-28* Why when I try to add a profile pic or banner frame it crashes or glitches for me or doesn’t work at all you guys need to fix this asap and also that app does has potential 📱❤️ so you could probably add more features and options to make it easier or at least more understandable for new users! I also notice that the feed glitches and are videos and post disappear and reappear to and sometimes hashtags do not work for me so look into that also. see ya 👋 Thxs for reading! 📖 Damus devs! 👍 ### 1/5 — Cool idea, but I can’t post anything *2024-04-10, version 1.7.2* Nobody can see anything I say, and any post I make just never appears (seems to just disappear into the void, never to be seen by anyone, including myself) ### 3/5 — Product Misrepresentation *2024-01-27, version 1.6.1* The web site says: "available Now on iOS, iPad and macOS" but some features do not work on Mac OS (like posting photos). ### 5/5 — Finally *2024-01-06, version 1.6.1* Worth the download. Share a zap. ### 3/5 — 功能还是比较少 *2024-01-05, version 1.6.1* 仅翻墙才能访问 切换nostr后 频繁闪退 ### 3/5 — I don’t know *2023-12-28, version 1.6.1* I don’t know ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fails before use *2026-07-08, version 1.17* Unfortunately this app can not be used as it seemingly offers a secure login, but does not actually implement one. You simply can not use a signer to login. It won’t accept it. Scan a qr code, it just never actually scans it you stand there all day. Copy and paste a bunker url it fails every single time. In trying to get people to join the Nostr community the one thing we are told is never paste your nsec and for whatever reason that is all this app will accept. Shame as it looks nice ### 1/5 — Total POS *2026-01-31, version 1.14* Says my priv key is public ### 1/5 — Need to fix the relay connectivity *2025-09-19, version 1.14* I just got this app and it seems fine so far but I can’t connect to any relays at all. Had the app open for like 10 min trying to connect to one, checked the spelling in case I was missing something. But it keeps cycling between ‘connecting’ and ‘error’. ### 1/5 — This app promotes too much child pornographers/pornagraphy. *2025-08-05* You guys need to get rid of those users selling and showcasing videos of children have sex in real life and A.i. these are children being raped/drugged/tricked and some are probably dealing with mental illness. Please, get rid of CHILD PORN OFF YOUR PLATFORM. Jesus said “ whoever would cause these little children to Sin, it is better you tie a rope with a brick around your neck and cast yourself into the bottom of the sea.” Please help these children by not letting users post that evil on your platform. ### 1/5 — 打开没内容 *2025-07-31, version 1.14* 打开软件一直提示暂无内容，请稍后重试字样，这软件到底还能用么？ ### 1/5 — Globalist app *2025-06-16, version 1.14* Claims to be unbias and decentralized but its not if you say the wrong things they block you from posting .. Do not use this joke much worse than x controlled 100% by the globalists ### 1/5 — Not worth the storage space. *2025-01-13, version 1.11* Been a member for over a year and my last like and follow was over a year ago. I have received no new follows, likes, or zaps in a very long time. It’s like a ghost town! ### 1/5 — Medieval *2024-11-25, version 1.11* No way to clear cache except complete uninstall, with cache going upward of 1GB after 10 minutes of browsing. Follower count loading at random or not at all. Usernames not loading properly. Undoing likes impossible. Welcome to the Middle Ages. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPhone *2024-09-07, version 1.9.1* Set up and umbrel private relay. Can’t connect to it. No feedback or error, button to add the relay just does nothing. Can’t make a post. As soon as I submit, again no error, but no post either. Wanted this to be cool and work well. ### 1/5 — Cant add relays *2024-09-04* Add relay button does not work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ficou bom *2026-01-30* Em 2023 não era legal, mas hj está 👍 ### 5/5 — Stable, beautiful and *2025-07-29, version 1.14* Great ui. Snappy and very intuitive. ### 5/5 — Great quality *2025-07-06, version 1.14* Thank you for this app. It works perfect. Nostr is the true next generation social network. Join, guys! ### 5/5 — Excellent client *2025-01-22, version 1.12* Testing several and this one performs very well. ### 5/5 — Great Work *2025-01-22, version 1.12* My daily driver for all things nostr. Really like all the features and the reliability. The design is great and it just works. ### 5/5 — So pure *2024-11-22, version 1.11* No ads. No algorithm. So pure. And you can zap (send bitcoin instantly) ### 5/5 — Search & Music *2024-10-09, version 1.10.1* I like that we can clear the cache unlike other apps, but the search feature forces a hashtag search, and even the hashtag results are more limited than Primal. I really appreciate the integration with Apple Music. Damus is also better at uploading videos. UI looks more sleek than my last version of Amethyst. ### 5/5 — Your NOSTR client for iOS *2024-10-09, version 1.10.1* Damus is probably the best nostr client out there. It currently has everything you would like into a funcional social app and keeps improving day after day. ### 5/5 — The Nostr App Your iPhone Needs *2024-04-23, version 1.7.2* This app is just good. It does everything you need, nothing you don’t. A shout out to the development team here for making something great; and giving this game changing protocol the start on mobile that it deserves. ### 5/5 — Great Nostr app *2024-03-08* Nostr supports delete and is awesome but I wish Damus enabled it. Other than that this is a great social app where you are in control instead of big companies. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
