Ad on ad on ad

Thought this would be a nice meme app. But opened the app for the first time. Instant ad. Past that video played for 2 seconds and bam another ad. Instantly deleted. Waste of space

Why to delete this app

Shortn makes it nearly impossible to swipe past an ad and the swipe takes you to the ad in the browser. Then you gotta go back and try n try again. To much of a pain, sticking with TikTok ‼️‼️

This app is trash

No search feature too many ads. The scrolling sucks. This app is just straight garbage.

Terrible app

It tells me that I have 1000 notifications but yet when I go onto the app to see the notifications, I don’t got no likes no followers from my account terrible app

Really mid

I tested this app out because I kept getting ads for it. I thought I’d be getting good memes. At first the app was novel, but with all of the Ads on the app itself, it was neigh impossible to actually enjoy the app.
Like many other comments said, it’s only really “goon clips” and aggressive and dumb racism. As for the “goon clips” they’re still censored, which I didn’t care about, but a lot of the ads claimed it was uncensored and that’s not true. If anything, there’s a pretty solid content moderation, so that’s kinda a plus?
That’s not even mentioning the glitches. With all the ads, many of them can cause the app to crash or keep you stuck in the ad. Trying to look for pages to follow and simply searching for content isn’t optimized nor is it easy.

Don’t get me wrong, This app really does have potential, but it’s really lackluster at the moment. Hopefully updates can fix the problems, because despise by score and misgivings, it doesn’t need much to make it great.

Zzzz...

Nothing but boring, recycled content and ads.

Filled with hateful AI garbage

Opens with an ad you can’t close then floods you with AI slop and MAGA hate bot videos. Avoid at all costs. Utter garbage.

Unfortunately

Not what you advertised still censored

Ads

Shouldn’t have to wait for entire ad to play at the beginning

Ad’s

Too many ad’s that trap you and you can’t get to go away!

Don't bother

Right wing cesspool. Tons of BS and misinformation

Adds

So every time you send me a message which is more than 20 times a day every time I open your app to see what you sent me it opens to an ad why!

Please add a search bar!

Apps decent has a lot of the same stuff but it’s fine

..

Bro, this is not for kids. Why is this popping up on TikTok on my for you page while I’m scrolling on CoryxKenshin’s videos I’m putting five stars just so this can be seen.

I can’t hear the sounds other than that it’s good

I like it that you don’t have to login just to scroll but I can’t hear the video sounds

To many adds

There is too much nonsense and game advertising before this app opens. And I joined based on adult content and haven’t seen any more than tictok

Sound issues

No sound for this app

No search function - too many ads - porn

What can I say? App sucks. Nudity uploaded nearly all the time, no way to search for videos, topics, tags, or to find user profiles.

Just stolen goon clips

Every profile I found seemed to just be botched that took whatever clips they could find and re-upload them in order to have as many videos and pictures of half naked women in order to get people to continue viewing. No original content, no meaningful way to search for content.

It’s an ad that uses adult content to lower people in. I hope someone reading this review stays away, knowing that there’s nothing good here for you

Lame

Nothing but ads and lame (not even) viral wannabes.
