Thanks! ### 4/5 — Super cute! 🫶🏼 *2023-07-04, version 1.1.2* This app is really adorable. Im liking it alot more than twitter, I just think if it was abit faster when it loads the notifications etc and open up dm’s that would be cool. I know it’s still a work in progress BUT it’s got a lot of potential. So please keep in mind my review and consider my feedback. I would love for this app to do really well for its future ☺️ ### 3/5 — Good base but needs work *2023-07-04* The block feature doesn’t work, there’s no option to mute words/phrases, and i keep seeing people using slurs in their usernames. I like the app but unless something changes with those specific issues, i see the platform getting more and more toxic by the day. **Developer response:** Hey! Sorry, could you tell me exactly what didn't working with block feature? We'll fix that as soon as possible ### 4/5 — I love it so far! *2023-07-04* This is a great twitter alternative it been really fun so far. I know this is a small app (and y’all app devs are doing great) but In the future I’d love to see the ability to see DMs and write threads! **Developer response:** Sure! Thanks! ### 3/5 — errors *2023-07-04* I understand that this is a new app so therefore there will be problems but I’ve tried signing up to this app 3 times but I keep getting errors every time I try to sign up and I don’t know what the problem is and it’s not my wifi I will put a better review once this problem gets fixed **Developer response:** Hi, sorry, lots of people arrived and things got a bit slow, but it's all been fixed now. Could you try again, please? ### 3/5 — cute app, but slow 😭 *2023-07-04* i’m liking this app, there’s some functions i wish were possible, and the speed of loading is quite slow. i hope this will be fixed. i want to rate it higher, but the lacking speed is a menace **Developer response:** Hey! A lot of people arrived and we were not expecting it, but everything's fixed and pretty fast now :) ### 4/5 — BTS ARMY influx *2023-07-04* Very very excited about this Twitter alternative. If you added an edit button, that would be all she wrote.. (please please edit button for the ND spelling strugglers of the world) Also if you added a banner feature that would be awesome **Developer response:** I'll keep that in mind, thanks! ### 4/5 — :) *2023-07-04* It’s really slow sometimes but overall is really cool and nice **Developer response:** Sorry, so many people arrived things got a bit slow, but that's been fixed now :) ### 4/5 — the next best thing *2023-07-04* the next best thing apart from twitter, a lot of ppl are starting to find the app and use it and the internet service is getting slower, but I think this could be potentially the next best thing! **Developer response:** Thank you! We're working to make things even better :) ### 5/5 — A cute, purple tw*tter *2023-07-02, version 1.1.2* i love this app! it's like tw*tter but cute, purple, and el*n m*sk free ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Option to Cancel Account *2023-07-05* I have found no way to cancel the account once you sign up. I have found this is not a good fit for me, yet I cannot cancel my account so that I am removed from the app. **Developer response:** Hey! You can delete your account on Settings ### 1/5 — please let me leave *2023-07-04* I just want to delete my account please, I don’t have enough storage **Developer response:** I'm sorry, a lot of people arrived and we had some problems, but the account deletion has already been fixed. ### 1/5 — Why can’t I delete my account? *2023-07-04, version 1.1.2* I’ve been trying forever to delete my account. I never receive the code. I logged out and then logged in and I haven’t received the code to delete it, only to login ### 1/5 — not that good *2023-07-04, version 1.1.2* wont let me delete my account permanently ### 1/5 — Slow *2023-07-04* App is very slow and seems unsafe. Deleted it right away! **Developer response:** A lot of people arrived so some things were a bit slow, but it's all been sorted out now! ### 1/5 — Lol *2023-07-04, version 1.1.2* Tried the app. Turned out the dev is a blink. Oh well 😂 ### 1/5 — Laggy *2023-07-04* I thought it would be a very nice and fun app, but it's just too laggy. It takes 2 minutes just for the timeline to load. **Developer response:** Sorry, a lot of people arrived so some things were a bit slow, but it's all been fixed now! ### 1/5 — 👎👎 *2023-07-03, version 1.1.2* keeps saying that every (original) username i type in is taken already and wouldn't even use the confirmation code that was sent to my email to create an account ### 2/5 — Too slow *2023-07-04* Runs very slow and lags a lot **Developer response:** A lot of people arrived so some things were a bit slow, but it's all been sorted out now! ### 3/5 — App is not working *2023-08-04, version 1.2.0* I live this app and use it daily. Unfortunately, for a couple of days my TL will not update, and will just continuously try to load. I logged out to log back in to see if that would fix the issue, and now the app won’t email me a code so I can login. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — incredible twitter alternative *2023-07-16* the app is still a little slow, but the founder is very active and responsive to issues!! while it is missing some functionality and features that are loved on twitter (posting videos, gifs, DMs) — they are currently looking into adding these!! **Developer response:** Thanks! And we're working on gifs! ### 5/5 — soo good for being new *2023-07-09* considering it’s a fairly new app, there is things that need to be worked on but for the most part it’s so amazing as a twitter alternative ! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — bts yay! *2023-07-04, version 1.1.2* no el0n m*sk so i’m happy but it’s rlly slow ### 5/5 — good !! *2023-07-04, version 1.1.2* i have no problems with the app but is there any way for you to make it accessible to phones that aren't up to date for ios? i own an old phone and can't download it 😭 if not, it's fine ! thank you ### 5/5 — Great *2023-07-04* Just a little laggy but please do add in gifs and a trending page **Developer response:** Sorry, lots of people arrived so some things were a bit slow, but that's been sorted out and we're working on the GIFs! ### 5/5 — perfect! *2023-07-04, version 1.1.2* i love the purple layout and the app is very simple to use!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-04* This app is really cute 🤭 **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-07-03* It’s a great alternative to Twitter thus far despite the crashing which I don’t blame on the team. A lot of us popped up out of nowhere so they just need time to adjust for quantity! 😅 **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — love love love *2023-07-03* first off gotta apologize the the app owner for the insane amount of traffic we (armys) brought in lol but thank you so much for your swift response to the issue with the codes! the app is so easy to use with similar-ish functions as the blue bird app so its easy to navigate! **Developer response:** No problem! You're welcome :) ### 5/5 — 😊 💜 *2023-07-03* The perfect app for us bts fans 😊 💜 **Developer response:** You're welcome! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
