I don't know what happened I try to reinstall it so many times but still I can't open it??? ### 1/5 — come on *2024-06-20* i’ve been waiting weeks for you to fix the app, I’m still getting a stupid error and a whole bunch of orange blocks, just fix it. **Developer response:** Hello hpblair, thank you for joining Playsee!

App doesn’t load while I am on Wi-Fi, doesn’t load up my area instead shows me things to do 30 miles away. That’s fine, but I’d like to start in my general vicinity, less than 20 miles from my house. The AI can’t give me any suggestions even the most basic things like finding a Mediterranean restaurant near me. The main feed seems more like ads of restaurant employees posting things for their restaurants. Overall, really disappointing I expected more. ### 5/5 — An actually useful social media app? *2023-08-22* I really hope this one takes off! I try to spam the algorithms of TikTok so it shows me more local sites but this fills that niche exclusively. **Developer response:** Hello Gary the guys guy, we love hearing that you are having a fun experience on Playsee, this is what brings joy to our work! We strive to bring the best social media experience for everyone, stay tuned for our updates. ### 1/5 — Nothing like the ads *2023-07-24* I thought it was gonna be an app that gave me a lot of ideas of where I could go and hang out with my friends. Instead it was just people posting low quality videos of there kids or something random like a Facebook grandma. Over all it’s just a worse and cheap knockoff of every social media app, but it has a lot of potential with the right switches. **Developer response:** Hello hduhfthvfg, we're sorry you are having a negative experience on Playsee, we would like to learn more about your opinion, can you email us at support@playsee.co? Your feedback is valuable in helping us learn about how we can improve. ### 1/5 — Nothing like the ad *2023-03-10, version new 8.5.0* It was nothing like the ad. I thought it was a place for people to find cool local spots to go out as a family. It was just a bunch of posts about robberies and news about local police department funding. Just very weird end nothing like what was advertised. ### 5/5 — Instagram *2023-03-10, version new 8.5.0* It feels like Instagram for kids ### 2/5 — Doesn’t Deliver *2023-02-26, version 8.5.0* What you get and what their ads show and polar opposites. My was just a news feed of a drug overdose, COVID cases and more depressing news. They need to work on delivering great things to do not a rehash of news. It’s a sad Facebook. ### 4/5 — Ok *2023-02-25, version 8.5.0* It is ok because it does not let you post videos and the videos are not that good like TikTok. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2023-02-25* Saw on tik tok as a fun and easy way to find cool things to do while traveling. There’s not much of that. A few pixelated videos of sights and a crap load of ads. On top of that the app format is slow, glitchy, and overall bad quality. I couldn’t find anything to do around me from this app mainly bc there aren’t that many people posting places/experiences/sights but of course over time they’ll grow their number of users and hopefully make their interface better. **Developer response:** Hi arayoosun, thank you for leaving us a your review.
