I like it a lot—however, it’s not even letting us set a username and sometimes it takes multiple times just to get a pfp to save. It’s just extra tedious. If those little bugs get fixed it’s literally the best! 😭 ### 4/5 — Good, but needs more features *2026-03-08, version 1.3.1* it functions similarly to simply plural, but with sp going under i'm switching to octocon. i'd really love to see a chat feature, we use this to communicate so much and losing it is a shame. better statistics would also be a lovely addition. all in all it gets the basics down well ### 3/5 — Please add a chat option! *2026-03-08, version 1.3.1* I really like it so far except that it doesn't have a chat/chatroom option. It would be so incredibly helpful if there was a chat room with the option to say whose fronting when writing specific things as well, it's very handy when you can chat back and forth between alters without getting more confused. ### 3/5 — Import *2026-03-08, version 1.3.1* Can you fix it so when you transfer all members from simply it can show them numbered 1 to whatever by the day each member was created? I don’t want it just showing 1 to whatever because of the alphabet because it throws the numbers off when I go to create new members. ### 4/5 — Good app but I would love it more if you could add photos *2026-03-08, version 1.3.1* I recently moved here from simply plural due to it being shut down soon and this app is very nice and easy to work with yet I miss having my banners and such as I used to decorate all our alters descriptions and I really miss it. Please think of adding a way to do so and maybe coloured text would also be super cool :) 8.5/10 would easily be a 10 with that ### 3/5 — It’s okay, but it isn’t no simply plural *2026-03-07, version 1.3.1* Since SP is going down everyone’s coming to this, and honestly I think it’s better for systems that aren’t Polyfragmented. ### 3/5 — its alright *2026-03-07, version 1.3.1* kind of frustrating to use sometimes which is excusable because its a newer app, which will likely have bug fixes later on. some suggestions: markdown could have image embeds, and i think custom privacy buckets like simply plural has would be incredibly helpful. i do like the ui a lot, and i think this app has a lot of potential and already great features, like the journal. ### 3/5 — Barely works *2026-03-07, version 1.3.1* I've been using this for months and it takes one million tries to get anything to set!! It took me forever just to make a username work so i could in theory share my fronts. It's so frustrating to use, it works for tracking alters and fronts but if you want to add any information or any picture or anything else you're doomed ### 3/5 — Alright but it needs a couple features *2026-03-07, version 1.3* I downloaded this app cause of the fact that Simply Plural is getting shut down and I like this app a lot visually and how simple the settings are, but it really needs a few features to keep up with the influx of users it’s gonna get so there ain’t buckets, the links with the photos we put in our descriptions don’t work, I can’t archive fused/dormant people, I can’t @ other members in my fields, there’s no analytics, and the general description layout is kinda screwed so please Octocon make some adjustments cause I think this app has a lotta potential ### 4/5 — Recommended for Unsafe System *2026-02-17, version 1.3* I only decided to try this after hearing about it from systok as an alternative to SP. It is an acceptable alternative, although nothing about it truly wows me as it has essentially all the same features with a different UI. The only genuine praise I can give is that it feels safer to use if you are in an unsafe environment and for that I give it 4 stars. It has a feature that allows you to hide the app by making it look like a news app, as well as the ability to double tap to quickly leave the app. I think that is better than just hiding the app behind a PIN number which can get some in trouble and put them at risk. I would recommend it to closeted system or any concerned about their privacy. ### 4/5 — great app *2026-02-15, version 1.3* overall this app is great! i love that it syncs to discord, but i’d love to have the ability to add subsystems, as well as have a fronting timeline/graph though. ### 4/5 — Management’s Tool *2025-10-29, version 1.3* This app is very handy for system management however there’s a one thing that I want to mention; this app can be incredibly buggy at times with profiles not loading or also not saving the information just typed in at times. The developers are still working on this app though so I have hope for its future! ### 3/5 — . *2025-09-25, version 1.3* Love this app and bot but the admin seems to be a mess. They have one guy who does everything and theyre too busy to do it. I havent been able to use the bot in a month because it just stops working and they dont reset it often. When i can use it the app and bot are fantastic They consistently have problems that make the bot completely unusable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SERIOUSLY NOW??????? *2026-03-14, version 1.3.1* FIRST SP SHUTS DOWN AND NOW YOU'RE TAKING OUR ALTERNATIVE AWAY?! JUST FRICKIN GREAT THANKS ALOT 😡 ### 1/5 — Come on man *2026-03-14, version 1.3.1* You guys barely ever updated this and then told us you would, then told us you had no plans to shut down and then announced a shutdown two days later. Embarrassing ### 1/5 — Kinda peak(?) *2026-03-11, version 1.3.1* Aside from supporting a creep its good, supporting the creep knocked down 2 points. The other point is because if you have subfolders with similar names its hard to add alters to specific ones. -ANOTHER POINT for not being able to make everything AUTOMATICALLY PUBLIC ### 1/5 — Importing/exporting *2026-03-07, version 1.3* Importing hasn’t and won’t work ever since I downloaded a few months ago :( ### 1/5 — Bugging *2025-11-28, version 1.3* It doesn’t let me import from Simply plural onto Octocon ### 1/5 — Wiped my data *2025-08-25, version 1.3* Typically this app works great for logging changes and noting things down, I just wish it had features like overall fronting percentage and maybe a way to organize the journal entrees into folders/categories. …But then some update broke the app for me, it would load forever on all tabs. I tried deleting it and redownloading it, figuring I could just use the security code to retrieve everything. But now that’s gone and it forces you to use an account. The lack of account creation and the fact that it was open source were the only reasons I used this app over simply plural. ### 1/5 — bad app 🔥 *2025-05-18, version 1.3* literally so hard to navigate and make profiles, you can sync to other platforms but it removes things and has a extremely hard to use system. ### 2/5 — ehh.. *2026-03-09, version 1.3.1* i really didnt like it that much. as someone coming from simply plural it had me really disappointed and confused. it also might have been a me issue, but i couldnt even set a username or set any front history stuff which is a MUST in an app like this for me. ### 2/5 — . *2025-09-05* Love this app and bot but the server seems to be a mess. They have one guy who does everything and theyre too busy to do it. I havent been able to use the bot in a month because it just stops working and they dont reset it often. When i can use it the app and bot are fantastic ### 3/5 — front times *2026-05-02, version 1.3.1* Wishing it was possible to edit front times, also I miss the chat option from SP ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please don’t shut down *2026-04-29, version 1.3.1* Please don’t shut down ### 5/5 — PLEASE DONT SHUT DOWN *2026-03-14, version 1.3.1* Please don’t shut down we are begging you. This is the only app we have found that helps us manage our issues. ### 5/5 — Better than simply plural . *2026-03-10, version 1.3.1* WAY BETTER 4 THE PEOPLE WHO R BLURRY AND DISSOCIATED 😭 ### 5/5 — amazing but 👀 *2026-03-07, version 1.3* i have no complains about this app but PLEASE add image embeds in custom fields and descriptions 😞 i'm switching over from simply plural due to whats happening right now and it was so helpful to be able to add images and to resize them in the link and such. other than that, it's great ### 5/5 — ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-03-07, version 1.3* I have been using Simply Plural for years now and (at the announcement of it shutting down) am finally switching over to Octocon and I am GENUINELY AMAZED!!! The transition was incredibly smooth, I have had little to no lag or bug issues, the layout is pleasing and has many coloured and accessibility options, it clearly prioritizes health with its journals, and the pinning alters feature is simply genius. I am so impressed and will be very happy to continue to use this app in the future and see what updates in brings! I would give more than 5 stars if I could! ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2025-08-20, version 1.3* i love this app so much so far. i hope you guys plan to add image support soon, i love to decorate my profiles with pixels and aesthetic pictures for our individuality. thank you so much for making this app! the UI is extremely friendly and easy to use.. much better than other competitors. ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2025-06-21, version 1.3* Good app, I enjoy it and prefer its UI compared to SP. Use it daily as a non-traumagenic system to log switches and journal things, overall find it better than SP. WOW! just realized it has a stealth mode, 5 stars, wonderful app. Safe, clean, lots of options and settings, definitely a step up from SP ### 5/5 — great for systems! *2025-04-13, version 1.3* we’re a diagnosed osdd system. this app is very helpful for us! it has lots of good features, like showing someone is fronting, folders, connecting your discord, and lots more! we’re in the discord server for the app too, and the developers seem like really good people. ### 5/5 — PERFECT! *2025-04-06, version 1.3* This app is everything ive been waiting for!!!!! But one thing I'd like to see is the ability to search for alters. Unless I'm just missing something? ### 5/5 — RECOMMEND!!! *2025-04-05, version 1.3* As a system, I REALLY love using this app!! Makes it a bit more easy to track our alters, even more so with the widget option!!! Highly recommend!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
