BUT I CANT EVEN GET IN! ### 4/5 — Active? *2016-10-17, version 1.2.0* Is this app even updating anymore? It had real potential. Shame for it to disappear.. ### 4/5 — Remember when... *2016-08-19, version 1.2.0* I remember when this app was popular, everyone wanted to get all the best usernames and be called the “original.” So many people from Instagram went to Minty claiming that they liked it better on Minty than Instagram, but little did they know that Instagram is always going to be a part of them. Now this app just sits here with barely anyone using it and I have to admit, at the time I was using it, it was like a better version on Instagram. But let's admit guys, no matter how awful those Instagram updates are, we are still going to use it forever and always. 😶 ### 5/5 — Great!! *2016-03-30, version 1.1.0* Incredible app! Only suggestion I have is that there should be a link you can copy for your page, to post on other Medias. 👌🏽 ### 5/5 — Awesome alternative to Instagram *2016-03-29, version 1.1.0* Ever since the stupid change that Instagram made, minty has been perfect. Now we just need everyone on minty. ### 3/5 — Stuck On "Update" Screen *2016-03-28, version 1.1.0* Whenever I open Minty, I get a pop-up telling me to update the app, even though it's the newest version. I can't get past it, and I've reinstalled the app twice to no avail. ### 5/5 — @Sandra *2016-03-24, version 1.0.2* Time goes by so fast I remember having this the day it was released it was pretty amazing but then didn't really get into it. Great idea and cool app just wasn't going to beat any of the main stream apps. ### 4/5 — Takeover *2016-02-25, version 1.0.2* I think this could have been a good app for social media etc had a whole bunch of ifunny users not taken over ### 4/5 — Well *2015-10-20, version 1.0.2* Its a good up, just needs to be taken care of, its been two months and no update. People are starting to use the app less and less. Help bring it back ### 3/5 — Only Cool Feature *2015-10-16, version 1.0.2* Only good feature is you can do Polls... ### 3/5 — PASSWORD RESET PLS *2015-09-06, version 1.0.2* I just want to get my account back, I logged out but forgot my password to my second account. Ugh minty just let there be a password reset. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2015-09-06, version 1.0.2* Already addicted. Highly recommend it. The new Instagram. Follow me @Legendary. I know I can believe the username was available. 😂 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s not working *2020-03-24, version 1.2.0* I can’t even launch the app. It keeps crashing, and it’s most likely not something to do with my device. ### 1/5 — Quits when I try to post *2016-06-29, version 1.2.0* This app is useless. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work for older iPhones *2016-03-29, version 1.1.0* Apparently you need iOS 8 for the app to download. I have 7.1.1 and can't use this. ### 1/5 — Stupidly cool *2016-03-29, version 1.1.0* Haven't even gotten it but it seems stupidly cool ### 1/5 — You tried, I guess. *2015-11-05, version 1.0.2* This app was the bomb when it started out. Everyone wanted a user, and was so excited. Then around a month in, it flopped, and everybody went back to tumblr and instagram. Honestly, I'm not surprised. But I mean, it was worth a shot. It's dead now, though, and the featured posts have literally no likes on them. I would suggest trying something else, like an app that revolves around a pixel dog that everytime you post or like a picture, the dog grows, or something like that. People get drawn into that kind of stuff. Ah, well. ### 1/5 — umm *2015-11-03, version 1.0.2* it crashes on me like every time i try to do something lol?? ### 1/5 — STOP IT *2015-09-10, version 1.0.2* Stop telling me to turn on notifications every time I use the app! I have them off for a reason! It's very annoying to tell that stupid message no over and over again. I KNOW notifications are off, they are off because I TURNED THEM OFF. This alone makes me not even want to get on the app most of the time. ### 1/5 — Hate it reasons under *2015-08-24, version 1.0.2* Although it has a lot of good features. I feel it should be for ios 7. Also it should be able to be used on older devices such as iPhone 4s ### 1/5 — Nah *2015-08-19, version 1.0.2* Maybe I'd like this app more if you people didn't pay to advertise it on iFunny. Also, it's a deformed crossbreed of other, better social media platforms and an enormous waste of my time. ### 1/5 — Crap *2015-08-07, version 1.0.1* Fock me dis app crash evritiem ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app, not so many users *2017-01-19, version 1.2.0* I used minty around a year ago when there was more people but now barely anyone posts. Having people come back to the app would really help it. I love minty and hope it gets the attention it deserves. ### 5/5 — Minty Where did you go!! *2016-08-28, version 1.2.0* Minty NEEDS to come back! Just do some bug fixes and advertise again please I loved this app a while ago, now I'm @AbdulBaz. #BringMintyBack!!! ### 5/5 — lol *2016-06-03, version 1.2.0* follow me @MP ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-05-23, version 1.2.0* Amazing app! Please make an update to let people tag users in photos like on Instagram. ### 5/5 — More Options *2016-05-21, version 1.1.2* More customization than Instagram, Twitter, or any other. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2016-04-09, version 1.1.1* This app is amazing. It has everything you need to have a great social media app. Needs more credit. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-04-06, version 1.1.1* Fun app to use ### 5/5 — Best app of 2016 *2016-04-03, version 1.1.0* This is literally one of the best social media apps. It's relevant to Instagram. I am an original account on this app. Cannot wait for more people to join this app ### 5/5 — Great app! Follow my page!^^^ *2016-04-02, version 1.1.0* I love this app! I have created my own fitness page and I love the benefits more than Insta! Follow me! @ecstevens ### 5/5 — Revolutionary *2016-03-30, version 1.1.0* This is a fantastic app, especially for being so new! The minty staff (whomever you are) is fantastic, and the people are nice and responsive. Minty themselves even respond to some posts, which is a great form of interaction I think. The app has little to no glitches so far and does everything it is supposed to! The new update is also pretty great because it has that chat feature that is live and going. Would r8 8/8, no deb8. I would strongly recommend the app to anyone who enjoys social media! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
