User reviews

Needs work

I do not like that they need your age, location, & affiliation. I don’t want an echo chamber I want a cross section conversation. That needs ditched or at least made option only.
Also there is a glitch where you click on a question & the app closes. Happened several times.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! We've made location and affiliation optional in our latest update, so you can participate without sharing that information. We've also added 'Symbols' to keep track of who's who and modified the algorithm to keep conversations more engaging. We're actively working on bringing more diverse perspectives into conversations — we share your goal of cross-section discussion rather than echo chambers. The crash when tapping questions should now be resolved. If you experience any other issues, please reach out and let us know.

not good

the app is dead

This app is amazing

The content on this app is insightful and informative. There’s no political influence from the creators and they let the community speak their opinions. Fantastic app!

Nice App!

Really clean, easy-to-use app. No unnecessary bells and whistles. Best of all - no big-tech censorship!

Love it

Really enjoy using this app! Have had several great conversations with people from different political beliefs. Also, great way to keep up with current events in an entertaining manner. Download and try it for yourself!
