### 2/5 — Needs work

*2025-10-05*

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.

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — Tremendous Political Platform for Productive Discussion
