Won’t let me register account 😑

NOT WORTH DOWNLOADING. IVE LITERALLY TRIED EVERYTHING

why

the best thing about this app is that they finally made it possible for you to delete your account. everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves

Stinkster

It’s Twitter, minus everything except for the worst part of Twitter - the opinions. If the team behind this app is teaching me anything, it’s that the best way to promote your app is to be defensive and insecure online.

You can’t delete your profile

The delete profile button doesn’t work

Potential

The app could’ve had potential as a fun thing to do with your friends - but I have a few comments:

1) the app is incredibly buggy. Poll percentages glitch up and down, the “stories” esque feature is really poorly designed (almost looks like the developer just used basic templates and put no thought into user experience), and the In app map simply does not work. In addition, there is a privacy feature which limits who can see your responses - but if you go on to other polls you can then see that person’s response ? What’s the purpose of this feature then?

2) as others have pointed out, there is almost zero moderation in terms of what is allowed to be posted. I’m aware that other apps also allow distasteful posts with little recourse but this is on another level. Simply put, it feels like it’s an app where people who don’t feel comfortable voicing their hurtful opinions on larger platforms can come and feel validated by others also doing the same. This is all done under the guise of “facilitating discussions”, but 8/10 polls I’ve seen seem like it’s just people looking for validation. Lastly, why is there a dating feature? It seems like the direction of this is all over the place.

Overall it could have been interesting if this was just an app where you can ask fun questions and have your friends respond - but the poor development of the app and the content just make it feel really mediocre.
