App was showing hold on we are gathering your info ### 1/5 — Poor *2018-01-10, version 1.8.1* Let’s you log in to some accounts then only option is ‘Cancel’ so it doesn’t save. Then your just scrolling through pics of your posts. Lame. ### 1/5 — Disappointed after re-install... MAJOR issue *2017-10-10, version 1.6.1* 10/10 - Update. I've deleted the app and re-installed... and the major problem continues. This time, I only connected my Facebook vs. last time, when I connected all my social media plus financial accounts. Wasn't going to waste my time again. A) It does not pick up new postings after the initial loading, which seems to be somewhat random. B) No idea/explanation about how it decides how far back it picks up. C) there is still no FAQ section, which would explain better how it works. I really, really want this to work and I'm surprised that it was recommended by a tech writer at NYTimes, considering the flaws. It's user-interface is very nice, but if the app isn't useful, it's just a pretty face. 9/30 After spending quite a bit of time giving it access to all the accounts that would make it useful... It has NOT updated that info. Facebook posts, tweets, bank transactions, etc. are all static and not changed since first time/day. Their support people have been responsive, but not been able to correct the issue. The app also miscategorizes expenses and there is NO way to correct. And there are few directions on how to do things. I will give it another week and then delete. Oc ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2023-10-09, version 5.0.3* Facebook and Instagram integrations are broken, transactions synced from the bank aren’t put into categories. Seems this app has been abandoned by the Devs ### 1/5 — Scam app *2022-02-14, version 4.12.1* This is a scam app that wants all of your log ins and data. Says it links to doctors info but doesn’t. This is the biggest scam from Apple store so far. Don’t touch unless you want to hand over everything and give full access to your Google drive or drop box. ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2021-09-17, version 4.11.1* Can’t add any medical notes ### 1/5 — Broken system *2021-09-10, version 4.11.1* Does not work with TFP. The app keeps forgetting about being given access and then digi.me keeps launching and keeping you in a loop. It's unusable as it is. ### 1/5 — Never pay out when they say *2020-02-21, version 4.4.0* If I can give 0 stars I would ### 1/5 — Can’t delete library or unlink *2020-02-04, version 4.3.0* I’ve been trying to delete library and unpair this from everything but keep getting a spinning circle that times out. ### 1/5 — Cannot remove data *2019-12-10, version 4.2.1* title it just gives an endless spinning wheel of death whenever I try removing an account or deleting my library. that's very worrying. ### 1/5 — Confused *2019-01-31, version 2.6.0* So how do we make money? It hasn’t really been explained at all. Company’s buy our data but how do we know when that’s happened? ### 1/5 — ... *2018-09-25, version 2.2.1* Doesn’t get you likes. Just feels as if they look at your profile and details ### 1/5 — Can’t beat onboarding :-( *2018-03-28, version 2.0.3* I get a ‘more storage needed’ error when connecting my Gmail despite having an Unlimited Google Apps account... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Working very smoothly after reinstalling *2020-02-07, version 4.3.1* Updated the app but it was stuck in "Checking for data...” Required a reinstall but it’s working very smoothly now :) ### 5/5 — Awesome concept *2019-12-09, version 4.2.1* I have made $18 so far. Hoping as the community grows I can earn more ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-01-30, version 2.6.0* Having all of my photos from Facebook and Instagram on my phone is one of the main reasons I downloaded this app. I now also use it to keep track of my finances. ### 5/5 — Best empowering online data *2019-01-14, version 2.5.0* More Data sources & 3ptys ### 5/5 — Take control of YOUR data :D ***** *2018-06-24, version 2.1.1* Great app for centralising my social media - I can easily view Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest & Twitter at a glance - Flashback is a nice touch :D Looking forward to adding more data sources so that I can take control of all of it from one app :D ### 5/5 — Beautiful, fast social media aggregation *2018-03-24, version 2.0.2* A great way to see all your social media accounts in one place. My experience with this app was seamless. It loaded over a thousand posts from 5 accounts within seconds. I did not have any trouble creating my library or linking to it again on my second device. I noticed all the written reviews from users were negative, so I decided to try to add some balance since I am very pleased with my experience thus far. The interface is stunningly beautiful and streamlined and the animations are smooth. It’s easy and fun to navigate, and the “Tiles” view for filters and saved searches is quite handy. Great interactive tutorial too. Seems like a good way to backup your posts in case I lose access to my one accounts or get hacked. The only bit of improvement I can think of is that it doesn’t fully support Facebook’s upgraded “like” feature. It only counts likes, and cannot make sense of loves, laugh, cry or other reactions to the post. So it does not count them at all, and the number of reactions differs on digi.me than on actual Facebook. ### 3/5 — no profile editing *2018-08-28* quite nice app, but once I did set my sources, I can’t edit/add/remove sources anymore **Developer response:** Thank you :) You can access your accounts by pressing the search button and swiping to the left. Tap on Connect another to add more, or on a connected account for more options (including delete). ### 2/5 — Interesting idea but way too buggy *2021-01-09, version 4.9.1* Half the time when I open the app it says that I need to re-login to different sites (which requires leaving this app and going to the other app to get a code from its code generator) because it has stopped syncing. I did not ask it to stop syncing, so why is that happening? And then it often just hangs when it tries to sync. By the way, isn’t it supposed to be getting new data in the background? Anyway, I could not that get this app to work consistently. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, re-logged into everything, gave everything permission again, and still it just wouldn’t budge. I'm done. ### 2/5 — “This version is no longer supported!” *2019-12-09, version 4.2.1* I haven’t even used the app yet and I got that screen. Tried re-downloading it too. Is this supposed to happen or something? Help?? ### 2/5 — Great if you like logging in *2018-06-23, version 2.1.1* Logging into all my social media back to back on my phone is pure hell. Interesting interface but Twitter already has great search and my tweets push to Facebook, which digi.me doesn't recognize so lots of redundancy. Also can't figure out how to delete the tutorial query. Potential here but horrible first impression. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
