### 4/5 — Great concept but buggy app

*2026-08-18*

I love this and I really want to get into it more, but the app is so buggy.

### 5/5 — blogspot revival

*2026-08-16*

if i could give more than 5 stars i would

### 5/5 — Heyy

*2026-08-14, version 3.0.35*

SO SO SO PEAK.

### 5/5 — Best app I have ever experienced living in a capitalistic society

*2026-08-13*

I’ve never written a review or rated an app but I guess that’s just my thing now. I’ve been here a few hours but I will defend this app with my life, I have never felt so connected with humanity with life with society ever. You best bet is to will be replacing TikTok with ts. So much b more originality that Pinterest, so much less hatred than Twitter, so much more interesting and real than TikTok. Just wow, I LOVE it, there are so many cool and stimulating features, I feel so safe to share anything here

### 3/5 — Worth it

*2026-08-06*

It’s so awesome and I’m loving it but I’m also really confused and struggling to find things lol

### 5/5 — Best vibes

*2026-08-02*

It’s like MySpace but less popular and talked about. It’s also a pretty healthy community within the app and the customization isn’t to its best but it does allow me to make my page bright pink which I’m happy with. I’d recommend this app if you’re very nostalgic even if you’ve never experienced MySpace.

### 1/5 — “connection error”

*2026-08-02, version 3.0.33*

literally EVERY single time i try to sign in with my email after i enter the code it’ll say there’s a connection error and then i have to refresh the entire app to get a new code where it’ll do the same exact thing?? it’s clearly not an internet thing because i have internet and cellular.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2026-08-02, version 3.0.33*

Shoutout developers 💯

### 3/5 — Has Potential

*2026-07-28, version 3.0.32*

This is a great app and is very nostalgic. However, the pay wall on almost all of the features kind of ruins it and the "old internet" aesthetic of it all.

### 5/5 — melhor rede social!!

*2026-07-27*

Um lugar seguro onde todos podem compartilhar o que gostam. O dono do app sempre interage com a comunidade e sempre busca melhorar o app. Super recomendo!
