Too buggy, there are alternatives

So, the app (like a lot of others) was built to replace Whisper, which closed down. But this one was built so poorly, probably with AI code or something, and the devs don’t know how to fix ANY of the bugs. So the bugs are getting worse and worse by the week. Before you download it anyway, let me save you the time and explain just some of the bugs. 1) Your dms tab doesn’t update properly. It will show what it should have shown 30 seconds ago or 2 minutes ago or 10 minutes ago. You’ll refresh and see you have new dms, go into a chat and respond to one of them, then go back out and suddenly your dms have reverted back to how they were a few minutes ago? and you can’t see any of the new chats until the app randomly decides to show you the up-to-date list. But that’ll only happen for a short time before it goes back in time again. So just checking your dms is frustrating. but that’s not all. 2) The app sends messages on your behalf. Messages that you sent several minutes ago, the app will RESEND THEM SPONTANEOUSLY which is so bizarre and frustrating, and sometimes even embarrassing. Mostly it’s just a random resend of a unique message so it was obviously a bug, but sometimes it will resend “oh that’s cool!” to something you absolutely DID NOT want to say that to. This is now happening several times in just a short conversation, and it was my final straw for this app. The list of bugs is VERY LONG and i’m resisting the urge to talk about even more of them. there are a handful of other apps that are also meant to be like the old Whisper app, so go find one of those. i’ve tried a couple today and, despite them not being perfect, they are at least useable. truly, i have never called an app “unusable” unless i was exaggerating, but i’m not exaggerating this time. oh, and there’s ads every 1-2 minutes, so get used to that on top of all the bugs. it’s probably because they know the app will die from all the bugs so they’re just trying to suck up as much ad revenue as possible before it does.

Gif feature not working for posts

Annoying thing that should be fixed a month ago.

Trash

As others have said, the app is saturated with bugs, scammer, spam bots and p3dos. There is no moderation. You can report posts all day long and it slows down nothing. And guess what? It’s like that by design. They give you the illusion that there are tools in place to help control all the BS I listed but it’s smoke and mirrors. The more “users” they have in their base, the more they can charge for advertising. That’s it. That’s the whole actual purpose of this app. Just like everything else in this timeline we live in, it’s fake, acidic, only exists to make money and is unhealthy for those of us without money.

I would rate ZERO stars is possible

This app is nothing but filth and there seems to be no moderators at all. There’s pedos openly talking about kids…. Disgusting

If you complain about pedos, you’re banned

If you complain about pedos, they ban you. Meanwhile predators can repeatedly post pictures of kids in suggestive clothing and positions and saying the age of consent should be 10. They also constantly post creepy pics of little girls surrounded by black men.

Advertising

I understand Ads but these ads literally don’t close. How am I even supposed to use this app?

Buggy

This app is buggy as hell

It's so glitchy and slow, full of bots

It takes a long time to refresh, the notification that someone replied comes but when you open the app u have to wait 10 minutes to see the message/reply. Full of bots

Terrible app

For an app full of glitches and UI issues, it sure likes showing ads a lot. To the point the app is almost unusable. And the app data is retained after deleting the app, leading to potential privacy updates. Prior to their big revamp, the only way to access your data and chats after deleting and reinstalling the app was to use a recovery key. Everything is retained on the device now even after deleting the app and reinstalling which is a major problem.

Pedos

Lots of weird people on there

poor optimization

bruh optimize your app there’s NO reason for it to overheat and drain my battery tf

Pretty good.

I enjoy the app; but there are few locals on; and the ads are aggravating.

Can’t use the app to leave feedback

So many little quirks that are wrong with it or needs adjusting. Also when you try, the help page, even on here, results with a bad link so, hey, I guess people will just be frustrated trying to navigate on the app. Even blocking people is a conundrum. Parameters on the persons name prevent the option for the 3 dots to be seen to block, report or whatever. Maybe the person did it on purpose knowing that people can’t block them.

Terribly made and terribly run

Almost nothing in this app works. Constantly bugs and broken features. Plus ads every few minutes of use, and I do mean only a few.
Cannot recommend this app less.

Annoying af

It’s chill sometimes butPLSS FIX IT

An app that doesn’t protect its users

This app doesn’t protect your privacy, data, or mental health. Bots spread propaganda and men can solicit you for explicit images and theres no option in the report section for it. The only is for b**stiality which seems insane that it’s not just for sexually explicit messages period.

Click the tiny x

Ad while scrolling, ad while typing, even ads while looking through your own pictures. Let’s also make the ads require you to close it 3-4 times to actually go back to what you’re doing with half of those being 20-30 seconds of waiting because they want you to interact with an ad they are sponsored to show you 500 times a day with ai. Literally if I went to your house with a broken boombox playing ymca on repeat would be a better form of engagement.

Review

This app is a joke full of scammer

App is garbage

Constant crashing. Constant spam. Hateful and ignorant users. Absolute bottom of the barrel of society.

How about fix the crashing instead of caring about ads

It’s so annoying I can’t even open up messages without the app crashing, but oh no, gotta make sure the 10th add in 5 minutes is running fine. It seems like every update just makes it worse than better.
