### 5/5 — Let’s get on it!!!

*2026-02-02*

### 5/5 — 편안하고 재밌는 앱

*2025-11-11, version 1.31.4*

이런 앱이 꼭 필요했는데 요긴하고 재미나게 잘 쓰고있습니다~

### 5/5 — 요샌 인스타보다 더 많이 쓰는 거 같아요!

*2025-10-11*

4-5년 전 인스타 부계정 유행할 때 느낌을 오랜만에 느꼈어요 친한 친구들끼리 일상 공유하기 너무 좋고, 보다 솔직한 얘기를 업로드하게 되는 매력적인 sns입니당 
친구만 볼 수 있도록 계정 잠금 기능이 있거나 사진 규격을 원본 사이즈 그대로 올릴 수 있으면 더 좋을 거 같아요! 사람들이 포트를 더 많이 쓰면 좋겠어요

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 마고맆님, 소중한 리뷰 감사합니다! Fort에서 즐거운 사용자 경험을 하고 계신 것 같아 굉장히 뿌듯합니다! 제안해주신 내용을 포함해서 계속해서 좋은 사용자 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 고민하도록 하겠습니다. 더 많은 분들이 Fort를 사용하실 수 있도록 노력할테니 지켜봐주세요!

### 5/5 — Snapchat without side effects.

*2025-08-21*

I’m a self-proclaimed digital minimalist, so I was very hesitant to try this app when my girlfriend recommended it. But when I tried it out, I could see that a lot of thought went into this. Not showing mutual friends’ comments. Emoji decorations on photos. No flashy recommended garbage posts. How the “share” button had the paper plane icon to emphasize private sharing of memories. I resonate with the philosophy of the developer a lot. 

The UX is also decent. You share your photos, they share their photos, you can see the photos in a grid, album, etc. All the basic checklists are met. But the overarching benefit I see from the app is the feel of a private interactions between yourself and the people you care about. After all, that’s what matters, right?

**Developer response:** Dear David, thank you for the kind review!

We are really happy that you acknowledged the details we made. But more importantly, we are really really happy that the core value of Fort has been delivered to you and you loved it.

Our team will keep making Fort a much more pleasant place, where there's no distractions, but full of joy between the people you care about. Hope you have wonderful days with Fort. Best 🙌

### 5/5 — 부담없는sns

*2025-08-15, version 1.28.4*

부담없이 원하는사람에게만 공유할수있는점이 가장 마음에 들어요 인스타그램에 올리고싶지 않은것도 편하게 올리게돼요

### 5/5 — 관심경제 시대에 내 소신을 지키며 SNS 하는 법

*2025-08-13*

평소 관심경제에 대한 관심이 있고 (no pun intended) 윤리적인 디지털 시대의 소비와 습관에 관심이 있다면 좋아할 앱이에요! 메타의 비윤리적인 행습과 내 데이터를 허락없이 빼앗아가는 행태에 환멸을 느꼈다면 안심하고 쓸만한 앱인것 같습니다. 인스타를 하기는 싫지만 정말 가까운 친구들과는 여전히 SNS를 통해 부담없이, 자주 소통하고 싶다면 fort 강추해요!! 내가 원하는 친구들과만 연결되어 프라이빗하게 사진 앨범을 만들어나가는 느낌이에요. 내가 원치 않는 사람들이 나를 찾거나 반대로 내가 원치 않는 사람들의 컨텐츠를 볼 일도 없어요. 인스타의 본래 목적이 무엇이었을까요? 사라진지 오래여서 무엇이였었는지도 이제 헷갈리는거 같아요. Fort는 제가 생각하기에 진정 디지털 시대에 내 소신을 지키면서 본래 sns의 목적인 사람과 “연결”되는 것을 달성할 수 있는 정말 건강하고 소중한 앱인것 같아요. 포트 최고! 포트 사랑해요 <3

개발자분들께 사용자로써 몇가지 피드백을 드리자면- 요일별로 프롬트가 계속 반복되는데 조금만 더 변주가 있었으면 앱을 더 재밌게 사용할 수 있을것 같아요. 그리고 이모지로 내 카드를 표현하고 또 친구들 카드에 반응을 다는것 너무 재밌는데, 이모지가 너무 많아서 내가 원하는걸 찾기가 어려우니 가끔 대충 선택하게 되요. 포트가 랜덤으로 이모지를 추천해주는 기능이나, 혹은 친구들 이모지를 베껴쓰는 기능이 있었으면 더 쉬워질 것 같아요. 그것도 아니라면, 내가 이모지를 선택했는데 마음을 바꿨을 때 다시 돌아가 그 비슷한 부분에서 다른 이모지를 쉽게 찾을수 있도록, 이모지 네비게이션 페이지를 내가 멈췄던 곳에서 그대로 다시 볼 수 있었으면 좋겠어요.

감사하고 응원합니다~~

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 eunbee_님, 정성스러운 리뷰 정말 감사합니다! 한 글자씩 마음에 새기면서 읽었습니다. Fort를 통해 제공하고자 했던 사용자 경험과 전달하고자 했던 가치를 느끼셔서 대단히 뿌듯합니다. 앞으로도 SNS 본래의 목적을 상기하며 좋은 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다! 지금처럼 피드백도 주시고 지켜봐주세요 🙌

제안해주신 요일별 프롬프트, 이모지 검색 및 추천 등을 잘 기획해보겠습니다. 좋은 의견 감사합니다. 행복한 주말 보내세요 🙏

### 5/5 — 작성한 글 내용 및 공개범위 수정

*2025-07-17, version 1.27.3*

이미 작성한 글에 대해서 내용이나 공개범위 수정은 할수가없는건가요?;

### 4/5 — 노래도 같이 공유할 수 있게 해주세요

*2025-07-13, version 1.27.3*

제가 노래를 좋아해서 인스타 스토리에 걍 제가 들으려고 항상 노래도 같이 올렷는데 포트는 노래 올리는 기능이 없어서 아쉬워요ㅠㅠ 그리고 올릴 때 카메라 화짛이 낮아지는 것 같아서 아쉬워요

### 4/5 — 알림 지우기?

*2025-07-05, version 1.27.2*

확인한 알림들은 어케 지우나요??ㅠ

### 5/5 — 다 좋은데..

*2025-06-28, version 1.27.0*

상단부분이 아이폰에서 시간이랑 배터리 잔량 표시되는 데랑 살짝 겹쳐서 보기 불편해요!! 조금만 아래로 수정해주세여
