Doesn’t function at all anymore. Not sure why it is still on the store. ### 1/5 — Just… Just… Sigh… *2022-10-28* 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. ### 1/5 — Nothing loads *2021-02-26* The title^ **Developer response:** As a decentralized app it takes a while to load new content. We're working on speeding it up and providing better feedback to users about what's happening. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2022-10-27* 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. ### 2/5 — Can't follow anything! *2021-11-03* Trying to follow any communities or users just fails, having the button un-check itself a second after you click it. This app is rather worthless until that is fixed! ### 3/5 — Sounds interesting *2022-10-31* Hear a review/discussion about this from the TWIT network of podcasts, thought I’d take a look 😁 ### 3/5 — Nice UI but not ready *2022-07-28* For an app that markets itself as being for humans, I was very disappointed to find that there is no way to see which of my real life friends might be using it. So I'm literally just seeing a bunch of crypto posts from strangers. I have no need for more internet junk content that has no relevance to my IRL world. Deleting the app for now, but I'll reinstall it if they add a feature to search for my contacts who are using the app or a way to easily share my posts with friends outside of the app. ### 3/5 — Very polished but needs more *2021-07-20* Planetary feels very polished and slick but it’s still missing some of the essentials: no way to post a photo or any other media, no quick way to follow somebody when you’ve read their post. Coming along nicely though. Scuttlebutt is a strange place at the moment though, needs more pubs for people to get started - it’s just too empty and too slow to propagate. Great concept though. ### 3/5 — Needs some work. *2021-04-14* Some of the buttons don’t work and it would be nice if you can leave the default pubs. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The new 2.0 version works so fast *2023-03-08, version 2.0.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome 🤩 *2022-04-29* Best application for SSB protocol. Very friendly ui, many pre-install hubs, fast and simple 👍 ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2021-02-09* Planetary is 100% the future of social media. The team behind it is experienced, and I trust that they have what it takes to turn Planetary into something that becomes mainstream. Nice design, great utility, brilliant concept. Love it! ### 5/5 — Smooth Signup Process *2021-02-08, version 1.0.4* This app is easy to get started with and has a clean interface. ### 5/5 — Nothing less than the future of social media. *2021-01-18* A great user experience on top of peer to peer social networking with no central owners or control. What’s not to like? The team did an excellent job - this is the slickest decentralized social media app I’ve ever seen. ### 4/5 — It keeps crashing *2021-05-01* Please fix this because I want to use it. Also can you get on other social media and promote your app on there? You don’t have Twitter, VERO, Display, Odysee or anything like that. I honestly think people would use it more if you did that one. One more thing, we need a logout feature because there’s nothing like that on Planetary and I don’t like to stay on apps --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
