### 5/5 — Ok

*2024-08-17*

Let’s go

### 5/5 — Less addictive, growing community

*2024-01-30, version 2.10*

I find this app to be different from other social video apps out there. Love the chronological community feeds and the idea of giving more control to creators and viewers. this app has been improving steadily and my subs are growing faster than YouTube!

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2021-02-05*

Safe environment to mingle and network; really good platform to shoot off content.

**Developer response:** Thank you for writing a review Sumon! Make sure you get the latest update where you can now upload your content and monetize it instantly! Please feel free to send us an email to info@tapereal.com if you have any other questions or feedback! :)

### 4/5 — So Awesome

*2021-02-01*

Such a great alternative to all these trashy social networking apps and super awesome on mobile!

**Developer response:** Thank you for writing us a review! We pride ourselves on creating a simple elegant design that makes it super easy for anyone to create or share audio and video content. Feel free to drop us a line at info@tapereal.com if you have any feature requests! :)

### 5/5 — My Favorite App!!

*2021-01-07*

TapeReal is the best social media platform I’ve tried yet! It is a great alternative to more of the popular apps as it’s ad free and there’s no silly algorithms!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review Brooke! We’re so grateful for your support! :)

### 3/5 — Getting there

*2020-11-27*

This app would have a lot of potential just if it had some tweaks to the layout and how it preforms. The videos don’t play automatically and having the dark mode screen can make it annoying but overall this could be a great app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! :) we just wanted to let you know that auto-play functionality is now available on the app! :)

### 5/5 — My favorite new app

*2020-11-27*

This is a great way to document a journey and share your progress, leading to goals accomplished and life changes. I definitely recommend that you check it out.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review Dr. Al!  We're so grateful you joined and love following your journey!

### 2/5 — Content doesn’t load

*2020-03-27*

Had high hopes for the app but unfortunately, none of the content loads. It just buffers forever. My internet works (I even tried 4G) however I wasn’t successful. Without the content it’s pretty useless. Don’t download until they update

**Developer response:** Hi MikaelaRoseC, thank you for your feedback. This is the first time we have heard about this issue. Our community has been publishing, listening, and watching tapes for months. If content is flagged or reported as objectionable, it is removed, which may cause it to buffer endlessly when attempted to play on the TapeFeed. We invite you to try again and you’re welcome to email us at info@tapereal.com if you encounter any other issues. Thank you! :)

### 5/5 — Looks interesting!

*2020-02-23*

This app will be fun and can’t wait to interact! I can’t add my profile picture though, it will not let me save any thing I add in my bio or website though!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review Victoria! We just fixed the issue with the profile picture. Feel free to update the app to version 1.6 - it should work now. Happy taping! =)

### 5/5 — Amazing Way To Connect

*2020-02-16*

There is nothing better than being able to directly connect with an Audience or like minded people. Great thoughts and ideas are always being shared! Love this app🙏🏾

**Developer response:** Thank you for being a part of the TapeReal.com community Ynalayt! Your review is appreciated and so is your voice. Happy taping! :)
