I haven’t used one , but I can’t send , what’s the matter . ### 1/5 — تحديثات سيئه للغايه BAD UPDATE *2026-05-18, version 7.181* Why only 3 private messages?! The app has become terrible. I hope it goes back to how it was before; it was a successful app. Now everything is subscription-based, which is a huge mistake. This doesn't attract customers and deters them from using the app. Some people want to try the app, but seeing that private messages are limited to 3 times, they'll delete the app. ليه بس 3 رسايل خاص فقط !! التطبيق المفترض يكون كما كان سابقا كان تطبيق ناجح حاليا كل شي ب اشتراك غلطط واكبر غلط كذا ما تجذب العملاء وتحرمهم من التطبيق فيه ناس تبي تجرب التطبيق تشوف ان الخاص 3 مرات فقط تحذف التطبيق ### 1/5 — مسخرة *2026-05-13, version 7.181* برنامج واطي ومسخرة كله مراهقين قليلين حيا جيل فاسد ### 1/5 — Bad banning system *2026-05-11, version 7.181* Bought a used phone and it was banned, just now I bought a new wan and it has been banned automatically! ### 1/5 — . *2026-04-14, version 7.179* We have to pay now to write a comment or share a jodel? :/ meh ### 2/5 — Automod LLM needs Temperature Decreased *2026-04-08, version 7.178* Updates introduced AI moderation of content to determine if a post goes to Main or AfterDark. The automod is extremely aggressive and moves nearly everything to AfterDark for no explainable nor deterministic reason. The same post, posted twice may not be flagged. Please lower the temperature on the automod LLM or add a way to give feedback on those auto modded posts to help train it properly. Half baked feature that is killing the user existence (don’t get me started on the ads) ### 5/5 — Change My account *2026-03-20, version 7.176* I want to changed my account ### 5/5 — Great anonymous app just hooks being the problem *2026-03-18, version 7.176* I hope they find a way to get rid of the sex workers ### 5/5 — Optional *2026-03-11, version 7.173* Aside people pretending to be needing help and asking for money, Jodel is a cool community ### 5/5 — حلو ذا البرنامج *2026-03-07, version 7.173* جميل ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — البرنامج يلفظ انفاسه الاخيرة *2026-08-23, version 7.190* مع الاسف ان البرنامج من اسوء الى اسوء ومع كل تحديث تحسهم غصب يبون الناس ماتستخدم البرنامج ، 90% من اليودلات صارت تروح شقاوة وحساس ، بوتات تنشر 24/7 ومايجيها باند ولا تنحذف يودلاتها ، ويودلات باقي المملكة الي تطلع بالصفحة الرئيسية من اسوء الاضافات الي صارت بالبرنامج ، غير الاعلانات الي بالصفحة الرئيسية او داخل اليودلة ومايمديك تقفل الصوت منها لو شغلته بالغلط ، كل شي غلط في غلط في البرنامج وغصب يموت ف ليش الواحد يستمر في برنامج ادارته ماتبيه ينجح! ### 1/5 — Absolut dämlich *2026-08-11, version 7.189* Die Mods und überwiegenden User sind männlich und dementsprechend wird alles von Männern gepostete reported und von den Mods gelöscht aber geilen sich an Frauenbilder auf und lassen sie drin obwohl sie gegen die Guidelines verstoßen. Jodel wird von horny Typen moderiert die sich nudes von jungen Frauen erhoffen. Widerlich. ### 1/5 — Really bad bug *2026-08-09, version 7.189* All my stuff disappeared all of a sudden and now I can’t even log in from anywhere or get the app to work ### 1/5 — People get ban for no reason *2026-08-04, version 7.189* Main account got banned created new account on different phone with different email got banned seems any account i open on that specific device gets banned ### 1/5 — كله اعلانات فديو مزعجه *2026-08-02, version 7.189* تطبيق مفروض انه رسايل وتبعد عن ضوضاء الفديوهات تلقاهم مكثفين اعلانت فديو مززززعجه!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-01, version 7.189* Poorest app iv ever used why will I make my post and someone somewhere will determine if my post should go or not ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-16, version 7.188* Title ### 1/5 — Impersonating *2026-07-16, version 7.188* Someone is using my friend number to post and we have report but you have done nothing about it ### 1/5 — تطبيق سي مجموعة اصدقاء يبلغون عليك تحظر 💔 *2026-07-02, version 7.185* اهل هم صح وانا غلط ### 1/5 — خطير جداً و مزري و قمامة و بالوعة 🤢 *2026-06-08, version 7.183* مجمع لكل مختل عقلي و مدمنين و شراميط و قحيب و تجارة بالبشر و نشر الرذيلة و لا توجد اي ضوابط او قوانين ! بل انك اذا كنت مهذب و نظيف سوف يتم حظرك من حيث لا تعلم ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ارجو فك الحظر *2026-08-13, version 7.189* لم اكن استخدم التطبيق ### 5/5 — تطبيق سي مجموعة اصدقاء يبلغون عليك تحظر 💔 *2026-07-27, version 7.188* اهل هم صح وانا غلط ### 5/5 — ليش مااقدر اعلق اكثر من ثلاث مرات؟ *2026-07-06, version 7.185* ممكن تفهموني ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-30, version 7.185* 👍 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-08, version 7.183* It’s a great app , I have fun being one of the members ### 5/5 — verry *2026-05-18, version 7.182* good ### 5/5 — مسخرة وقلة حيا وانحلال اخلاقي *2026-05-10, version 7.180* مسخرة وقلة حيا وانحلال اخلاقي ### 5/5 — الجبيل *2026-03-30, version 7.177* .. ### 5/5 — Best App , I love it *2026-03-29, version 7.177* They should do more in the location part , so that you can get only your area instead of GA , Ga , Ga.

Thank you ### 5/5 — Ban *2026-03-25, version 7.177* "Hello Jodel Support, I am experiencing a technical issue specifically linked to my account and this device. I have an active official Jodel Plus subscription, but I am unable to reply to Jodels (getting 'Try again' error) or send private chat requests. The issue seems to be a technical restriction on my account or Device ID even though I am using the official app from the App Store. Please investigate my account status and lift any restrictions so I can use the features I paid for. Thank you." --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
