It crashed then and still is doing it. I open app it closes, am trying to read the feeds it closes, I try to comment it closes, I try to read notifications it closes. Apple iPhone 256 RAM, iOS 14.2, Spectrum network. I would like to help you improve your app, as I will test your updates and changes free of charge. GOD will provide this through me to you. Padre King ### 4/5 — A good start *2021-11-14, version 2.8.8* I like the Facebook style layout, and I think this has great potential as a replacement for those who are sick of FB censorship. It runs slowly and has a few bugs, but they ALL do in the beginning. Give it time. This will be big. ### 4/5 — Good begining *2021-10-11, version 2.8.8* So far my only complaint is slow loading at times and I had a friend who tried to join, set up an account. It was dumped. Twice. She decided its not for her. Not sure if you are outgrowing your server farm or what but look into that ### 4/5 — Generally very good *2021-10-02, version 2.8.8* The app works most of the time, but occasionally has its issues. Why is there no landscape mode for the iPad app? The web site limits your posts to friends whereas the app has your post default to Everyone. The web lets you edit your post to change the audience, but is quirky, not displaying a Save option; you press Edit again to save the change. ### 4/5 — Slow *2021-08-09, version 2.8.8* I love the app , but it’s very slow , uploading pictures and comments .. it takes forever to download pics and comments, also I’ve tried to download videos and it won’t show on my page ### 4/5 — Reading view *2021-07-29, version 2.8.8* I wish you could read articles and everything was not a video. ### 4/5 — Locked out *2021-05-08, version 2.8.7* I have an account but for some reason this app is now saying that my email address is not valid. I opened an account this morning but this afternoon I was not able to get back on, ### 4/5 — Love the concept and freedom! 🇺🇸 *2021-02-27, version 2.8.7* I would have given 5 stars, and hopefully I can soon... the App is very slow and can be non-responsive (trying to post a reply to a comment on my page but it won’t post, something about parameters??) but I hope this is temporary and that it’s that people are dumping FB and coming here. My biggest frustration is that I have been trying to purchase an Ad. No matter what I do (change size, change file type, use 3 different browsers, etc.), I absolutely cannot get an image to upload. It says it’s uploaded, but when I click Next, it says to upload an image. Sigh. I’ve gotten one response from the company, and now crickets. I’ve reached out multiple times. As far as ads go, I only ever see ONE company advertising: Cost Club. Just to save my sanity and my time, I would really like someone to help me, one way or the other. Now unable to make posts to my Page in the app... ### 4/5 — Spreely *2021-01-27, version 2.8.7* I really like the app . There’s not a lot of people yet though . And I wish it were easier to find people . It also is always incredibly slow . Once the bugs are worked out I think it will be really great . ### 4/5 — Spreely app *2021-01-13, version 2.8.7* As I learn how to navigate the app it’s getting easier. I’m really hoping it will not suffer the same fate as Parler did. Conservatives are being sensored and doxed and black listed so much it’s scary. We just want to have our voices heard also. I’m hoping our country will not cave to socialism a don communism. ### 4/5 — Love it *2021-01-11, version 2.8.7* I reallly like the format. I wish more friends would hop over here. The one thing that has stopped some of my friends from joining is it freezes up and is slow often. If they get the bugs fixed it would be great alternative to Facebook. ### 4/5 — I know it’s having trouble from the mass exit if FB *2021-01-11, version 2.8.7* I know it’s having trouble from the mass exit if FB, but for me I can’t seem to get to use it at the moment because it’s stuck. I’m sure it will get better and it’s probably on an overload at the moment. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2021-01-08, version 2.8.7* I tried to wait till it got better but... to slow and glitchy... sometimes have to make several attempts to log in before it works. Hope it gets better soon, will keep trying. Awesome idea though!! ### 2/5 — Pls fix issues or I’m going to uninstall! *2021-01-07, version 2.8.7* I really want to leave Facebook and switch to Spreely but Its useless I can’t do anything on it! Can’t search for anyone cuz it takes forever to load and sometimes won’t even load at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ I cant just sit around and wait I’m always busy like most ppl we don’t have time to sit around for it to finally load! I guess I’m gonna have to stick with Facebook till this app gets fixed 😞 at least for the time being I do have Parler 😊 ### 2/5 — Functionality needs to improve to adequately handle millions of users *2021-01-05, version 2.8.7* Needs to be able to meet the demands and functionality to support 1000’s if not millions of users. I would love to replace my Facebook account permanently with this App but it needs many improvements and upgrades first! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very slow *2021-10-04, version 2.8.8* It takes forever to load up. Have same complaints from family. Have a hard time finding friends that I know are on there, & groups, pages. It has potential but they’re not progressing very fast. People want a new censor free platform but it needs to be somewhat comparable. I’ve lowered my rating to 2 stars because I can’t even share things now. Edit to say it doesn’t even load now. They have the potential for a lot of people now but can’t handle it. You really need to improve this platform before you miss your opportunity. ### 1/5 — Serious issues *2021-07-13, version 2.8.8* This social media site has serious issues not an enjoyment to mess around with it does not upload are usually freezes and is very slow fix the issues and it may be a good site but for now it is miserable. After a long time this site still has issues with slow loading of anything, you post something and you never see it until someone makes a comment, you can’t delete anything even though it has a place to do it, I’ve used it to delete post and they remain there still. All I can say good about Spreely is it’s a place to go when you’ve been banned from the other social medias. Thank God we now have GETTR the Donald Trump app 🙏 ### 1/5 — Still excruciatingly slow and buggy *2021-04-20, version 2.8.7* I started using Spreely many months ago after tiring of Facebook’s constant interruption of content. I loaded the app and it seemed to get better until an update around January. I deleted this app about two months ago as many of the features did not work and it was extremely slow. I stated using a browser to access and despite different browsers, many of the features just do not work or take painfully long to load. Some basic mobile device formatting is lacking in some views. In any case, I installed it again after seeing it unavailable for a time hoping I only needed an updated version. Now it does not even open after logging in. It just hangs forever. Not sure if it is because of the new “third party” security as stated on a pop up when you log in or just the app is just still broke. In any case, I will delete it again from my phone and look for another platform that I do not have to hope will be functional in 9 months again. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2021-01-18, version 2.8.7* I support this app, but, it needs some help. The app opens and populates too slowly. You can only review the past 20 minutes of posts. Please extend the review time to indefinitely. Have a quick link for “my posts”. After opening others people’s posts, there’s inappropriate advertisements that are shown under the articles - Too much click bait. ### 1/5 — Slowly Frozen *2021-01-12, version 2.8.7* Hoping that a free speech platform is available but I can’t confirm or anything because posting is difficult because of the slow loading time and then it freezes up and I have to re start my phone to even get the app to open. I’m hanging on because I really fu€king hate Facebook and Mark Suckadickerberg ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2020-12-25, version 2.8.7* I cannot find friends easily here. I cannot comment on post because the typing bar goes sideways across my iPhone and blocks view of what I’m typing and often will not let me out of type mode. So I then have to get out of app and loose the comment in process. Very frustrating and not as user friendly as fb. I want a better option away from fb and will hope you or others improve your technology. ### 1/5 — New user impression *2020-11-11, version 2.8.5* Just signed up after yet another Facebook ban for 7 days. I love the principle of the platform being free speech. Trying to navigate the site is cumbersome. Not able to find a help section to create a BLOG. Anxious to see updates and to figure out how to take all of my photos and videos from Facebook and share them to here. Going to be a monumental task since I’ve been on Facebook since the end of 2004 when in college. Edit: after signing up and uploading some pictures my account disappeared. Email address and password not found. Thankfully I was only an hour or so into it and didn’t lose TBs of photos and videos. ### 1/5 — Move over Gab! There’s a new alt-right network in town! *2019-12-18, version 2.6.5* To be honest, I’m not sure what’s worse... the app that can’t seem to properly display notifications, the glitches where the same 5 comments just scroll infinitely down the same post, the snail’s pace that the system moves at, or the community on Spreely itself. Technical problems all day, every day. This is supposed to be a replacement for Facebook, but technically speaking, this service is about a decade or more behind on stability, and speed. The community seems to consist of mostly alt-right folks, with a TON of conspiracy peddling coming from shady “news” sources. I literally saw a video claiming that outer space is fake. I’m also pretty much sure the person that posted it wasn’t doing so ironically. Within my first 5 minutes of using the platform, I saw 2 and-Muslim memes, 7 pro-trump memes, and 3 Qanon related posts. Avoid at all costs. The technical issues aren’t worth your trouble, because the content isn’t worth seeing. ### 2/5 — Options *2021-08-15, version 2.8.8* I should have the option to read these instead of listening to a video that show no time on it. You don’t know if it’s 6 minutes or an hour. I should also have the option to fast forward through the video. ### 2/5 — Could be a FB killer if it was faster. *2021-04-12, version 2.8.7* The site is great and could be Fakebook replacement if they speed up the performance work the kinks out. Slow as molasses on a cold day errors on a regular based. Has potential but if they don’t fix things soon they will have a great opportunity. When it works its great. Using the web site works better than the app on an Apple device for me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Where you aren’t required to be “woke” *2022-08-16, version 2.8.8* This site is more for people who are actually awakened to the poison the left is spreading around. ### 5/5 — Overall I like this app. *2021-08-30, version 2.8.8* Overall I like this app. But when I click on a member’s profile button, my screen locks up, goes white with a green spinning circle that won’t go away. I have had to delete and reinstall this app 5 times now. Can you please fix this button? I use it often. Thank You, Be blessed! ### 5/5 — Not slow and Has Great Content! *2021-06-09, version 2.8.7* Whatever may have been slow on Spreely in the past seems to have been corrected. I like it. It has great content and best part is exercising free speech, unlike competitors. ### 5/5 — Easy to use. *2021-05-02, version 2.8.7* Much like FB form and function. I appreciate that. Hard for me to leave comfortable. But despise the Marxist suppression of conservative thought and voice of FB and Twitter. Spend my money and my time with Freedom protectors. ### 5/5 — A little slow *2021-01-26, version 2.8.7* I’ve been on here for a short time it runs a little slow but a lot like Facebook ### 5/5 — Love the site *2021-01-20, version 2.8.7* This is a great site but you do have some loading issues it can be a little bit glitchy and very slow when you first sign on. Late in the night and early morning it seems to run better. fix those glitches and I think you will have a huge hit I’ve been promoting it on Facebook to get people to come over to the site I like it it’s very similar to Facebook! ### 5/5 — I phone app *2021-01-19, version 2.8.7* I’m enjoying it very much! Just wish I was able to have a way to delete my photos, messages, and postings every 30 days. Maybe they would drop off automatically or an button to drop them off. ### 5/5 — Facebook is dead *2021-01-02, version 2.8.7* Glad to have this app to be able to not get censored. Many of my friends and family have deleted their Facebook accounts and joined parlor ### 5/5 — If you’re sick and tired of censorship *2020-11-17, version 2.8.5* Facebook is becoming a bastion of liberal ideology, defending the left and censoring the right. Spreely allows you voice your opinion without fear of suspension or fact checking. If you are a patriotic, true freedom loving American, Spreely is the best alternative!! ### 5/5 — Amazing site!! *2020-11-13, version 2.8.5* I love how user friendly it is with a focus on freedom! I like it way better than Facebook! I am also impressed with the responsiveness to me when I have a question! You are all doing an amazing job! Thank you for making this site! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
