Love access to groups without all the feed garbage

I participate in a number of great online communities via FB groups. However I really don’t like the FB feed and what it has become. I’ve been seriously considering if the groups are worth it and then discovered this app. It’s a great way to stay in touch with the group based communities without having to scroll through everything else.

Crashing

The app keeps crashing when I interact on my job’s group page. Please fix.

That irritating pop noise

Stick with going to your groups through Facebook. This app does not allow you to turn those ever so irritating pop noises when you “like” a post off. It turns off under media in the actual Facebook app. There’s no way to turn it off in the forum app. So I will be deleting it until
They can fix that.

Awesome

Being able to search through an LLM interface through your groups for information is truly game-changing

Good attempt

But my verified status doesn’t follow me over here ?!

iPad version is badly needed

Great idea and I’m glad this is here…but please optimize for iPad!

Great idea but lack of responses from original posters

I’m not stellar impressed but love the concept

Too much promoted content

I wanted Forums to help prevent doomscrolling by allowing me to focus my Facebook usage on just the few groups I'm a member of. It is NOT that. I literally had to scroll past 42 posts from groups Facebook recommends before seeing a post from a group that I'm a member of. If you're goal is o find new groups, this might be fine. But not what I wanted.

Meta has shown they don't understand the point of groups. I'm not interested in participating in 20 groups on the same subject. I want deep use of a few groups.

* please add an indicator showing which posts are from groups you are and are not a member of. Many groups have similar names.

Steep learning curve

Hard to figure out how to post

Me encanta

100% recomendable

AnOtHeR HeLpFuL aLgOrItHm!

For every post I see from a group I already follow I get 5 posts from groups it thinks I want to follow. Wrong! No way to remove them. Marking each as “Not interested” does nothing to stop it.

Not feeling it.

Groups are listed, sure. But things r out of chronological order within the groups. Now I want to delete Foruum app but will I delete all my groups? Will I need to join all my groups again? I wish I had not gotten the Forum app.

Hides From Screen Time

I’d like to like this more. It’s a decent app that gives you a dedicated space to connect with groups you’re in. The problem is that it seems to hide from the Screen Tims settings. I cannot get this app to follow the downtime rules I have set up. It remains always available even when I’ve disallowed it after a certain time in the Screen Time settings.

Review

It’s pretty cool so far

What’s worse than Facebook?

Another sh¡tty app from the jerk who brought us FB, that’s what’s worse. Zark Muckerberg is that jerk.

Great so far

Feedback

Excellent

As a 43 year police veteran…I’d still be anxious to meet the Sheriff at any time. Greatness deserves recognition.

Great app!
