What's New in Queer Spaces for LGBTQ friends

2.13.0

June 20, 2023

With our latest release, we’ve made navigating through the app a more enjoyable experience with the addition of new carousels on the home screen to help connect you to spaces based on your interests. Also, finding sub-chats within a space has never been easier with a brand new entrance point. In addition to fixing bugs and BTS performance improvements on Spaces, we continue to make small updates to better maintain a safe space for all LGBTQ+ users.

Good app! needs work.

I just downloaded the app and immediately I am noticing the amount of times it crashes. It could be my phone's fault but anytime I open my emojis the app crashes or if I am typing for too long the entire thing freezes up and I have to close out of it and restart my message. I love the concept of it though and am excited for it's future development! I'm excited to meet some queer friends ❤️

This app is not worthy of anyone

They judged me because I was bisexual. Then they don’t like that I was trying to ask people that I thought were my age out. How am I supposed to know how old they are. I am shocked that someone would think that kids should even look at men’s junk. Teens are on this app and so are children. This is a very big deal. If they do that I’m reporting them to trump who will take care of this. That is gross to be allowing kids and young adults to be exposed to this. Someone should have the balls to do something about all these people who are exposing themselves to kids and teenagers.

A Decent Start

This app is overall enjoyable to use. My main issue is that it’s a bit clunky to try and discover new groups - you can try to manually search using keywords or look at a list of about 10 recommended groups, but nothing else. I’d love to see a more advanced search feature or the ability to dismiss a group being recommended to you so it’s replaced with a different recommended group.

Sorely needed app needs some work

I don't usually write reviews, but I had a few thoughts I just had to share. I created an account earlier and I'm enjoying my initial forays into the Spaces. I have to say, this has been - so far - one of the better social media experiences I've had.

The only real problems are the number of people actually using the app - which I'm sure will go up in time but is currently leaving a lot of the Spaces near-empty - and certain issues with customization.

For one, I would like the bio page to have a slightly higher max character count (say, 300 or so) so I can put a bit more in it. Also, the lack of a dark mode is a major accessibility concern. I would recommend adding a sepia or nature theme as well, as I've found it to be an excellent middle ground between light and dark. Finally, it would be nice if we could sort Spaces by the number of members when searching (biggest Spaces, smallest, etc.).

Just adding one of these improvements (except the character count) would be reason enough for me to change my review from 3 to 4 stars. You guys are doing great work though. I can't express enough how much the world sorely needs an app like this.

Eh, group chats?

I can see this being more of an interest to younger people. The younger the better. It’s just a mass of group chats. Many just have a person or 2 or 5 in them. Others have hundreds or thousands. Just imagine a group chat with thousands of strangers rambling on. This is turning out to be “not for me”. I’d rather being doing something else. If it had MeetUp app type features with events to join, maybe. Also, where’s the dark mode setting. The glaring brightness is blinding.
