There are a lot of great technical resources for software developers out there, but not a lot of places you can go where you can talk about your life as a programmer with other people who really understand what’s got you feeling like a coding genius or like you’re surrounded by idiots (ok, maybe both). That place is devRant. Our new, optional devRant++ add-on is an auto-renewing monthly subscription ($1.99 USD/month). Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews ($1.99 USD/month) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.

Yet in return I was being outed for not being as skilled as the group and being less educated. Another issue is that there is a points system that discriminates beginners or people who won’t sink money into it, (you can purchase points in exchange for cosmetic items) it is not so much a community as it is a union. ### 1/5 — Horrible community *2020-09-08, version 1.15.0* Some people are alright. Most of the things you see on there are ok. Yet whenever I said something I would be completely hated on. I couldn’t say a thing without people being rude to me. It’s a ranting app, never really wanted people to respond, I just wanted to say how I feel yet people made me feel worse about everything. I had to delete my account because things got so bad. Don’t go there if you already ate bad mentally. ### 1/5 — App good, community evil *2018-08-10, version 1.12.1* From my very own experience I can tell that the idea, as always, was great, but the community of people most vocal there consists mostly of self centered ignorant angry thugs. I tried, I posted, I left unimpressed. ### 1/5 — Pretty immature community. *2018-06-28, version 1.12.0* Probably great if you’re real young and/or immature. Kinda feels like BBSs's I used to hang out on when I was 13. ### 5/5 — Really awesome *2018-06-26, version 1.5.10* Great app. On average, the people are above average. ### 5/5 — Don’t hesitate to get involved. *2018-01-19, version 1.11.0* It truly is an outstanding community. Considering most others out there (which I will not name) have such a toxic community. ### 5/5 — ++ *2018-01-08, version 1.10.0* Great community. ### 5/5 — Awesome app and community! *2017-07-27, version 1.9.3* Great design, great functionality, awesome community to discuss and rant about the day to day things that devs deal with! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2017-05-21, version 1.8.4* Nice UI, no adds, and a great community of devs. ## Frequently asked questions about devRant ### What is devRant? devRant is a social networking platform designed specifically for developers.
