User reviews

Dead

Dead application. Doesn’t function at all anymore. Not sure why it is still on the store.

The new 2.0 version works so fast

The updated version is so snappy.

Planetary is a secure scuttlebutt app which makes it easy to take control of your social media. No cloud services to control you, instead you can choose the algorithims yourself.

Sounds interesting

Hear a review/discussion about this from the TWIT network of podcasts, thought I’d take a look 😁

Just… Just… Sigh…

Installed on my iPhone. Set up a user name and avatar.

Installed on my iPad and… there’s no way to log in to my account? Are the accounts device dependent?

This “app” makes no sense.

Buggy

Tried to give it a chance. Signed up and attempted to learn how to use it. It crashed and froze a few times in the span of about 3hrs. Came back to it a little later and it froze up again. Force closed the app and then when I restarted it, it tried to onboard me again. During the signup it fails (probably because I already have an account) so now I can’t use it at all.
