Come on bring it back! Fifth star is waiting. ### 4/5 — Getting better with every update. *2026-05-30, version 4.0.198* Need dark mode app icon back. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2026-05-11, version 4.0.165* Enjoy the content and comments but this is the absolute worst app. Can’t sign in, comments not posting, constantly crashes requiring restarts and re log ins. There is no way to contact the developer . It’s getting to the point where it’s just not worth it. ### 4/5 — Needs lotta work *2026-05-10, version 4.0.165* No support for dark mode app icon. Quoting a tweet won’t load. Unable to zoom in on a photo or anything else. A lot of stuttering on timelines. You have to re login from time to time. When posting a story. Need to be able to adjust so you can fit everything in the frame. Can’t delete a post and so many more I ain’t got all day to list them all. Pathetic. but here’s a few more. You can’t make a post you can’t read the comment comments on a post. ### 2/5 — End of Line *2026-01-03, version 3.5.69* This is a great place to go if you’ve been kicked off every other social media platform. Nobody knows about this app or cares you should be OK ### 4/5 — Excellent, but....... *2025-08-31, version 3.2.2* It's great that Parler is back and it is really a very good community. Unfortunately though, the app doesn't seem to have the capacity to always show everything - other Parler members have said the same. Frequently when you want to open a specific category, for example "Global", you will receive the message "No Posts Yet", even though this is clearly not true. It appears that the app encounters difficulties when there is too much traffic (just a guess as a non- IT person). ### 5/5 — Earning crypto!!! *2025-07-18* Ok, I thought this was a gimmick but boy was I wrong. It’s legit! My Kyvo wallet is growing everyday! Thank you parler for not just free speech but also another way to pay the bills. You are awesome! ### 5/5 — Great decentralized social media *2025-06-30, version 3.1.9* A great decentralized social platform ### 5/5 — It’s Back *2025-06-24, version 3.1.9* Been waiting for the return of this app and it’s finally arrived. ### 3/5 — Noticing a major bug on the app *2025-06-17, version 3.1.9* It keeps on logging me out, insisting on setting up a new account rather than logging me back in. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Come on *2026-07-30, version 4.0.284* Dark mode icon, what is the hold up? ### 1/5 — Updates, 1 minute later updates, 1 minute later updates, and r repeats over and over and over *2026-06-18, version 4.0.226* My title says it all ### 1/5 — Dead? *2026-03-27, version 3.5.97* I haven’t been able to open the app for a couple of days. I deleted it and went to the App Store. It won’t load. Is Parler dead? ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-09, version 3.2.2* Haven’t used this app in years. But that won’t change the following essentials YOU NEED TO KNOW : When twitter became censorious in 2016, it wasn’t long before a “free speech” social media app was promoted called Gab. Parler was NOT an attempt to compete with Gab. It was to reciprocate. Soon after Gab took off, people noticed Gab was trying to offer an alternative to RW loyalists, yet gearing the app — despite its ‘alt-Right’ label by MSM — towards a more Left Libertarian view. The main target of that app was bashing Jews. Still is. Parler’s concept was to appeal to the Establishment Right which worship mod secular political ‘Israel’ whilst blowing smoke up Trump’s orange unmentionables. Parler had THOUSANDS of fake accounts following Users almost ALL of which accounts had as their FIRST post the words “Looking forward to meeting everyone here.” Verbatim. All posts thereafter were either about how the sun shined out Trump’s rear OR how awful Muslims were. THERE WAS NO OTHER TOPIC aside from the occasional “Lol”. Fake, fake, fake. • Twitter’s Jack Dorsey has an Uncle Dan Dorsey in Cincinnati who is a Jesuit priest. • Elon, per a 2003 Bloomberg article, is a YGL. That’s a WEF thing. And Klaus attended Freiburg, a Jesuit institution. • Facebook’s first funding came from Peter Thiel, former speechwriter for William Bennett, who attended a Jesuit institution. • Gab’s founder was Andrew Torba. Jesuit-educated. All of this is easily searchable and is not in dispute. • Parler was funded by Becky Mercer. Her former financial consultant and fellow Parler funder was Steve Bannon, who attended Georgetown. A Jesuit institution. Also part owner was Bongino, former secret service for the Clintons. Bill Clinton is a Georgetown grad as well. [So, we have Jew bashing apps. We have Muslim bashing apps. Hoorah? Excuse me : Where are the Jesuit bashing apps? There ARE none. Yet “Jews run the world”? Or I should worry about an Islamic caliphate gaining power? Not buying the Hegelian false dichotomy, sorry.] ### 1/5 — genocide supporters *2025-07-23, version 3.2.0* traveling to a country that’s unliving people? ### 1/5 — Unbiased Diverse Social Media *2025-07-18, version 3.2.0* What does that mean, diverse social media? Time for the world to stop showcasing “diverse” as an asset. This will bring in nobody with actual ideas. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2025-07-16* This app was funded by Becky Mercer. Her financial consultant was Steven K Bannon. Educated at Georgetown, Bannon attended a Jesuit institution. Haven’t used the app in ages. But I’ll bet it still has plenty of #IStandWithIsrael trolls like years ago. The quantifiably fake Users attack Muslims. The Gab social app was founded by Andrew Torba who openly stated he attended a Jesuit institution. Gab does the opposite of Parler : The (fake) Users attack Jews. Not even Zionists. Just normal Jews. Twitter (X) is pretty anti-Jew. Founded originally by Jack Dorsey. His uncle Dan Dorsey in Cincinnati is a Jesuit priest. Truth Social, obviously pro-Israel. That’s Trump’s gig. He attended Fordham University. A Jesuit institution. Facebook has claims of “antiSemite” fear tactics, of course. The forum was funded originally by Peter Thiel, former speechwriter for William Bennett, who attended a Jesuit university. Zuckerberg, like Elon, was a YGL, a WEF status. WEF’s founder Schwab attended Freiburg, a Jesuit institution. Parler sucked badly. Hated it. Won’t use it. It was also partly funded by Bongino. Former secret service for the Clintons. Bill Clinton is a Georgetown man. Question : Where are the apps bashing Jesuits? No where. Nonexistent. When it’s understood a UniParty condemns BOTH sides of the aisle, we’ll stop taking our Wing politics so seriously. We’re being tricked. **Developer response:** Video sharing is coming within 2 weeks. ### 1/5 — no way to login with existing account *2025-07-13, version 3.2.0* Just downloaded the app after signing up online. There's Literally no way to login to the app with an existing account. You can only create a new one. Seriously!? ### 1/5 — Email information *2025-06-29, version 3.1.9* Parlor will sell your email information to the cheapest bidder! I wouldn’t trust anything with this app!! ### 1/5 — censorship *2025-05-05, version 3.1.6* despite positioning itself as a haven for free speech, the platform allows censorship. content creators can delete your responses to their posts. a troubling reality given the fact they allow hate speech to go unchecked. if a content creator can use hate speech to attack the character of othership, i should be allowed to articulate arguments in a reasoned and well mannered way to oppose their speech without their ability to curate their audience. genuinely, 0/100. the functionality for the mobile app is horrendous as well, but that's beside the point. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🙂 *2026-06-27, version 4.0.236* When is this going to be in the Nigeria region? ### 5/5 — I like this app *2025-12-23, version 3.5.69* I luv this app ### 5/5 — I love Parler! *2025-12-03, version 3.5.69* I can’t wait for the spaces feature to be added, and I love how we all own Parler! This whole community owns the App and that’s real decentralization! Parlor is the anti-Facebook and they’re doing an amazing job! Learn how to run Optio Nodes and join the revolution! ### 5/5 — Loving my new and old friends *2025-11-14, version 3.5.69* Finding my community and a place to call home. So excited with the ease of how this app works. I love that I can have honest and clear communication with others and not be banned. Being able to share with others is huge. ❤️ Thank you for the freedom of speech! 🇺🇸 ### 5/5 — FREEDOM!! *2025-11-09* Finally, a place where you can say and post what you really want without big corporations shutting you down! This app will continue to grow and prosper! ### 5/5 — Complete Tech Stack *2025-11-09, version 3.5.69* Once they get their funding from their IPO this will take off. They have e their own cloud data center which allows them to provide creators and users the opportunity to make money by using and creating on the site. ### 5/5 — Parler is ramping up! *2025-11-09, version 3.5.69* Have been using this app for a few months now and am extremely impressed at the improvements and developments of this app - very robust and easy to use and engage! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-11-09, version 3.5.69* Great app I’m glad they are doing a lot of updates and can tell they are really trying to better this app. ### 5/5 — It's back! *2025-07-25, version 3.2.0* Love the fact that this is linked to crypto with rewards for participation. Let's make this community rock! ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2025-07-21, version 3.2.0* A app that actually gives back. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
