### 5/5 — I love this app wow

*2021-07-27, version 3.0.8*

This is insane. The interface is so clean and using this app is addicting. What a great app this is dope

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-07-01, version 3.0.8*

Only waitlist and no more

### 1/5 — Massive Performance Issues

*2021-06-30, version 3.0.8*

After using the app for a few seconds on iPhone 12, everything starts to lag to the point where the entire app freezes.

I also appreciate the hidden feature where exploring the map turns your phone into a space heater.

The trendy interface and user experience is there, the optimization is not. So much so that the app is practically unusable for more than a minute.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2021-05-04, version 3.0.6*

They ask your number to tell you you’re in a waiting list

### 5/5 — Better than Twitter

*2021-04-29, version 3.0.6*

I absolutely love this app. Spott is user-friendly, thought-provoking, and has an incredible ability to use images/videos, and other forms of media. Within only a year time frame, Spott has become extremely technologically advanced and it has grown to become incredibly popular across the globe! Plus, the entrepreneurs who made this app are so friendly and willing to make revisions based on user needs!!

### 5/5 — Spott 3.0

*2021-03-30, version 3.0*

Update is 🔥🔥🔥. Love emoji spamming my friends.

### 5/5 — Very well made app

*2020-12-15, version 2.5.0*

This app is very cool. Like the snapchat feature but better. The design and everything is on point. Definitely a lot of potential in this app can’t wait to see it grow!

### 5/5 — this will change the way social media is used forever

*2020-10-15, version 2.3.2*

this app is phenomenal—great user interface and premises for creation

-allows for an intimate relationship for say a band and their fans as they see them travel across the country touring and playing

-things like greater connectivity between social organizers and the communities they are embedded in

-or even just day to day cool things for an individual and their friends (like i saw this super cute dog in wicker park today, or this cloud looks like a dragon from moscow mills perspective)

this is going to blow up

### 5/5 — Best way to socialize and stay up-to-date with communities!!

*2020-10-14, version 2.3.1*

Seriously love this app! It’s easily accessible and you can share moments with the rest of the world! HOW COOL IS THAT! I love how personalized it is and the different rewards you can get from simply sharing a review or moment! Especially with the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s a great way to stay in touch with others but also share your experiences with everyone!

### 5/5 — Flawless Design

*2020-09-09, version 2.1.3*

Great take on the map idea found in some other apps. Making it the focal point allows for a much more immersive experience that actually puts the “social” in social media for a change. Keep up the good work guys!
