### 2/5 — Outdated and security concerns

*2021-04-06, version 4.0*

This app has NO settings of any kind — so once you log into anything, that's it, they have your info in perpetuity and you cannot remove it. Now this app is a security vulnerability in my digital footprint. 

Further, all it does is load web browser that doesn't even fill the window. If I wanted the mobile view, I would use my phone. If I wanted the website, I would use my browser. Not to mention the browser itself is outdated, Facebook even gives you a warning!

Nice concept. Poor execution.

### 3/5 — It’s good but...

*2020-05-26, version 4.0*

I like the idea around the app. But the app tabs take half the screen so I end up using the browser version better for full screen. If there was an option to minimize tabs or make the tabs smaller it would be my go to app. So has potential

### 2/5 — Clunky, slow, feels like data tracking

*2019-11-13, version 4.0*

Signed in on my apps, now regret it. Performance-wise, clunky, delayed and slow. Makes me think all the user interaction is passing first through their servers before getting to the social media site so they can track absolutely everything you do. Maybe they’ll reply to dispute my feeling, but until then, I’m assuming this is nothing more than a data ingestion app that provides the user a clunky, delayed experience.

### 2/5 — Just use your browser

*2018-11-21, version 4.0*

It was no different then my browser layout and options... deleted within 10 minutes.

### 2/5 — I didn't like it

*2017-12-13, version 4.0*

I did not like this app because when I tried to put my info, it said that it was taken and I thought you log in, not just make a new account. Anyway, how would you post stuff?i thought it would work out for me but it didn't.

### 2/5 — It just doesn't work

*2015-08-01, version 3.2.1*

I like the concept of accessing most of my social media in one app and thought the secret app viewing was genius, however, Facebook never loaded correctly and you could only see parts of Instagram. It's been deleted from my iPad and will not be reloaded.

### 1/5 — Does not work, blank pages

*2015-07-29, version 3.2.1*

Put in my Facebook login info and it will never even load any page, newsfeed and profile are blank with only a text link, Load More, which does nothing. Waste of time to download.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-03-31, version 3.2.1*

I downloaded MyPad because the facebook app is horrible, but I can't even log in!  After entering my info it takes me to a page that describes how my info will be used and that's it.  Nothing to click, no way to move forward.  Deleting.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-03-29, version 3.2.1*

It will not even let me log in.
It either says my password is wrong or my email is wrong. I have even tried the other one not for the iPad and it doesn't work either. It's very stupid!After this review I am deleting the app. Maybe the company should fix some things!
It makes me rate at least one star but I wish I could rate zero stars!

### 1/5 — Nope

*2015-03-23, version 3.2.1*

Lasted about 5 minutes on my iPad before I deleted it! It's a clunky, ugly app, and the number of popup screens upon first opening the app and logging into Facebook was alarming. I let it have access to iTunes to "manage my apps" (mistake #1, I know) and it immediately asked me to confirm a purchase of something I'd never heard of. After I canceled that and cleared all the other requests, I started trying to figure out how to navigate the thing while ignoring the unreasonably huge, flashing ad taking up 20% of the screen. But I could only see my 13 most recent notifications and as I was trying to return to my newsfeed, the whole app crashed. And that's the story of the shortest app lifespan on any device of mine, ever.

### 1/5 — My bad

*2015-03-10, version 3.2.1*

I hate it..I was hoping this app would help put everything under one place but all it did was make it harder to get around. It only loads a little FB. Can't change back ground or delete a friend request. Just kept coming up and it was a palm reader..What??  Not happy with this

### 1/5 — Steals personal info and bombs you with ads

*2015-02-18, version 3.2.1*

Deleted within five minutes. Login screen was buggy, but eventually got in. The app wants too much personal info, then bombards you with ads. I just want to check FB and Twitter, not stare at a casino screen of pop ups. This is an example of a developer who considers the actual app as secondary to the advertising and info-gathering engine. Avoid.

### 3/5 — My Pad App Quick Review

*2015-02-02, version 3.2.1*

It will do for now since I'm still learning my way around iPad.  Have noticed that it crashes a lot, freezes occasionally and does'nt allow me to finish the whole article I select from the NEwsfeed.  It jumps back to my desktop,  Will pay for an upgrade if there are no every other ads showing up in my newsfeeds  and if it doesn't jump, crashes, freezes etc.

### 1/5 — Quick review

*2015-01-06, version 3.2.1*

It's useless to most people. I have tried it on five different iPads. In short it crashes 3/5 times constantly. 1/5 times it won't even let me log in. The other fifth it works for about five minutes then crashes. Needless to say it needs major fixes. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS APP!!!!

### 3/5 — Freezes

*2014-12-14, version 3.2.1*

Tends to freeze all the time.  Won't scroll down..could be frustrating. Not updating as it should, ect..

### 3/5 — So it's free while it doesn't work?

*2014-09-22, version 3.2.1*

Three stars because it does not log in for me to even try the features out. After I enter login info, the dialogue box does not give option to accept.

### 1/5 — Hacker

*2020-07-09, version 4.0*

After a couple months of using I tried to log on and it said an suspicious app was trying to get into it and this is the only app I get on for Instagram and it wouldn't let me get in without my email so I had to change my password and delete the app. DO NOT TRUST THIS APP

### 1/5 — Laggy and missing crucial features

*2020-01-03, version 4.0*

It’s super slow, nearly impossible to sign in, and also missing functions like DM for Instagram. Makes me feel like I could’ve just stuck with using the web versions of the platforms.

### 1/5 — App is ridiculous and needs a redesign

*2018-12-24, version 4.0*

The layout on this app was so annoying; the permanent thick sidebar was too much. I was only given a couple of inches of screen space and I couldn’t even zoom in or out. Which was more frustrating because connecting to either Facebook or Instagram is just the same as logging in through an internet browser. Deleted minutes after I downloaded it; don’t have time to waste on these subpar apps.

### 1/5 — Needs a Real Update

*2018-12-08, version 4.0*

This app was once really cool. It had a great design, an intuitive interface and was really easy to connect your accounts. Now, I can’t even get my accounts connected. I push connect. The app has me log in. Then it just loads the website of Facebook or Twitter, whichever I’m trying to connect. Then, I’m just navigating the website as though I’m on Safari. It does nothing more than that. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app. Still nothing.

### 1/5 — Yuck

*2018-01-03, version 4.0*

Deleted 5 minutes after downloading. Sidebar which toggles between apps doesn't go away and takes up 1/4 screen. FB is desktop version which doesn't fit on screen. Instagram scroll is slow and glitchy, and pics look low quality.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2016-10-07, version 3.2.1*

Only about 25% of this app works! Boo because i've been excited for what it advertised to do but sadly it doesn't do any of it and if Abby loves to put me right out as soon as I try to do something. Until it gets fixed not worth the download

### 1/5 — Pretty sure I screwed up...

*2016-03-04, version 3.2.1*

Pretty sure I screwed up downloading this because as soon as I logged in a box popped up that looked like my iTunes login. I have no idea why it was asking that which was hokey as all heck. I wish I'd thought about it a little longer but I logged in. Immediately after that an iTunes confirmation window popped up asking to confirm a $2.99 purchase of an app I'd never heard of. Now I'm gonna have to change my iTunes password that I've had for years. I kept the app just long enough to write this review. Also, I've owned this app awhile now, per the devs guidance, I've had to delete and reinstall it multiple times to get it work again. Too bad because when it did work it worked good.

### 1/5 — Beware Scam!!!

*2015-12-22, version 3.2.1*

It's too bad I have to give one star….I wasn't even in this app for five seconds for the very first time and it was trying to confirm a $3.99 purchase through my iTunes account. Not to mention all the popups!!! I didn't even get to see the basic layout of the app because I deleted it so quickly!!!

### 1/5 — Whoa! The ads never stop!  And ....

*2015-10-31, version 3.2.1*

The app is clunky.  It's also quite intrusive, requesting too much info for what it is supposed to do.  Other issues, too many to name here. They seem to have developed a perfect advertising app.  But did not put enough work on the actual app itself.  (?) perhaps that's their idea... If so, then great job.  Deleting .... Don't need all those ads and pop ups.

### 1/5 — To be honest.

*2015-08-30, version 3.2.1*

I've been waiting to use this app cause my iPad is an original apple iPad, it's iOS level doesn't go 6.0 and above it cant be updated so it's extremely hard to find an app that will post my pictures, It worked before but I've deleted and re downloaded this app thousands of times, and it isn't working now!!! I keep trying it won't even load up the posts so please fix it.

### 5/5 — MyPad

*2014-10-17, version 3.2.1*

I think MyPad is awesome and now I'm installing MyPad for iPhone!  It seriously is a great app. I have the iPad 2 --a dinosaur-- and now it occasionally crashes. But it's still a great app :-)

### 5/5 — My pad

*2014-08-03, version 3.2.1*

I love it because it lets you access all apps of Facebook yea! It works more time then it does not like 98% of the time

### 5/5 — All in One

*2014-06-26, version 3.2.1*

Good for switching around social apps. Cons screen too small...not good for near sighted people

### 4/5 — Works well enough with iPad First Gen

*2014-12-13, version 3.2.1*

My technology is definitely in need of hardware updates. App crashes occasionally but lets me access my apps in one central location instead of having to home screen to various apps or wait for them to load. This is just a drawing tablet for me but I also draw in my analog sketchbook first to save my designs so if it crashes I just wait until it reloads and it does that quickly.

### 4/5 — Most of My Social Media in one App!

*2014-11-05, version 3.2.1*

I wish there was an ad free version. I'd pay for that! The app takes a bit of getting used to. Navigating is not as intuitive as I'd like but the learning curve for me was about a week. It's very pretty to look at and that is important to me. Being visually appealing while not being clunky is the height of innovation. This app is well on its way. If the developers could manage multiple Twitter accounts it would be five stars.

### 4/5 — Awesome, but...

*2014-10-19, version 3.2.1*

Too many ads. And could you make two adjustments in the next update?
- When i click on a link, i would like to be able to slide the webpage ALL the way to the left, and see the whole page.
- And when someone uses the app for the first time, maybe have them take a survey? You know, check the boxes of all social networking accounts you have? I want that Instagram button to dissappear, cuz its a useless button since i dont have instagram. And i want my MyLOL account to show up.

### 4/5 — It's alright!

*2014-09-09, version 3.2.1*

It's pretty good considering that it has 3-in-1 of the popular social networks but my problem is, my notifications does not work on neither one of them. I went to my notification center & everything is in place but the banners/alerts still doesn't show up. It would be great if there were some fixes for this app

### 4/5 — Quick

*2014-06-30, version 3.2.1*

Nice all-in-one social outlet. Takes a little getting used to but doesn't all software.

### 4/5 — Not too bad.

*2014-05-28, version 3.2.1*

This app does what it's suppose to do. So far, twitter works great for me and I was able to quickly change from twitter to Facebook with one tap. I can't say anything about Instagram because I don't have one. Facebook is the reason I give this a three. It works fine, but I can only see the posts from the pages I like rather than seeing what my friends post. Also, when I want to post something on Facebook and Twitter at the same time or separately, I can do it on Twitter successfully, but I can't do it on Facebook because my iPad kept telling me that I'm not successfully connected with it when it is connected. I mean, it could be my iPad, but other than that, great app!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-04-19, version 3.2.1*

It's a great app over all but the only downside to it is I wish I would let us upload our own pictures as the theme instead of just giving us the option of using the default them and the themes that we had to pay for but other the that I really like the app.
