### 1/5 — Use to be featured on this app…

*2021-12-29, version 5.6.3*

This app was full of extremely toxic people. I was one of the first on the app with a majority of the users on the app following me. I was in the “inner circle” at one point. I have always been nice to people and I took no differently to this app. A majority of the people I associated with were toxic however. I was always nice to newer users and others weren’t. It got so bad to the point of where I tried to point out everyone’s flaws and they decided to report me for a number of things all being untrue, and the Devs, without research, decided to ban me. They are pretty much like YouTube or tiktok where they simp for all the under age female users which at the time, we were all underage. Anyway, 2 of the girls who are featured on the App Store are both absolutely psychotic, with one of them, Dara, getting pushed off the app because of people like them. But the Devs are… Sideways to put it politely. Anyway, I don’t recommend this app to anyone. It’s not like the original thumb app like most people though when we first downloaded it. Plus the Devs have done nothing to it since it’s release.

### 3/5 — Sad

*2020-04-24*

I miss old thumb friends, still have some of them on my socials. I hope Bobby and Lexi are still together:’•(

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2019-08-25*

I miss the old thumb. Made great friends on there. We need to start our own thumb. Like the original. This one is stupid.

### 5/5 — Rip

*2019-07-21*

Rip Thumb friends

### 1/5 — Not Thumb

*2018-11-07*

I don't even have a review I just wanted to say that this is an independent app, NOT a "replacement for Thumb," and has nothing to do with the "original Thumb." The guy who made this probably doesn't even know what Thumb is, y'all are dumb

### 1/5 — Agreed^

*2018-11-01*

I agree with the other comment. This app doesn’t come close to what the original thumb app was... only did 1 star because I have to.

### 1/5 — Needs Improvement

*2018-04-25*

The original thumb app was very original, easy, fun to use, and just all together a well structured app. This replacement “thumbfriends” should have been named something else. They did not come close or even grasp the concept of thumb. This app’s color scheme is just, to be honest, ugly. And altogether, not a very good app. I would be very disappointed if a lot of time and effort went into making this app.

### 1/5 — Good app but not worth it.

*2016-10-05*

This app is fine but theres one girl on it that completely ruins the whole experience.

### 3/5 — buggy + no video option

*2016-09-05*

we've waited long enough, we need a video option. 
also, the app is a bit laggy and has connectivity issues, but when it's stable, it's a very fun app.

### 1/5 — Thumb friends

*2016-07-11*

The people on this app are the most rude, hateful people that I've ever seen on any other social app.  I've already logged out, and deleted it from my iPad.   I thought it was supposed to be a NICE app.    Now, I know, I was wrong.
