There are so many bugs when trying to log in… please fix this. I really like this app ### 3/5 — Auto for Live *2023-07-26* Tincan so far does not have many people on it but it’s not that bad but the auto for each live is so loud even if you put the volume on the lowest settings tincan you guys should look into it can be so loud so please try too make a setting too adjust the auto **Developer response:** 🥫Heya 258cha! Thank you so much for being part of the Tin Can community! We'll be sure keep the audio volumes in mind on the coming updates! See ya around! For any other concerns ad suggestions, don't hesitate to contact us at support@socialradiocompany.com Best, Team Tin Can 🧶 ### 3/5 — Love the app BUT… *2021-09-10* -Qu33nCoCo I love this app but it is in need of some improvements. 1) Call Ins- I am constantly having to restart my lives because when people join the call ins you can not always hear them…several of my friends also have this issue..it would also be nice to have more call in slots 2) Interrupted lives- when receiving phone calls you have so many seconds to return to the app before your live ends however it automatically closes even if you come back in time or if you never took the call 3) Tin Cash/Converting- The app is great but it mostly consists of the same people that are always on which makes it harder to earn money since not everyone on the app is willing to send you the coins and the amount of coins it takes to actually make money is outrageous considering that you are literally just around the same people each day ***A lot of my fellow casters feel as though the app has been forgotten about..it is in desperate need of some revamping but overall I genuinely love this app because of its simplicity but it would be nice if had more attention ### 2/5 — Below Average *2021-02-10, version 1.31* While this app does have a way to bring outcasted socially awkward people in their community to mingle socially (especially during Covid-19) I feel as if this app is only relevant during quarantine and this pandemic due to the mediocre features it has and community it brings in. Make no mistake the community on Tin Can is quiet awkward and can be very weird and at times uncomfortable due to the people that are allowed on the app, not to mention the bias moderators who appeal to the business aspect of moderation and not the moral aspect. Which in worldwide society, not just American, is totally understandable. But certain punishments must be inflicted despite the following base of the user. The apps poorly does a good job on keeping it evolving, recently they added a feature where you can group chat with multiple people on their live which is the reason I gave it two stars not one because it does show diversity, but the feature isn’t that spectacular after so long, and people now are not using it as much as when it was first released because it is a dull update. Tin Can needs to instrument features where you can change the theme and not have the same old black-brown layout which is extremely dull to look at if you are a consistent user. The audio tape feature is alright, but maybe at times give more praise to people who have bigger following, acts of superiority on apps like that based on fan base is a psy-op grinding mechanism which can make people want to rise to the top of being deemed, “Tin Can Famous” which would make it more interesting rather than the average hop in someone’s live, talk, and then leave. Even if they added a credibility feature which represents something or badge feature similar to the Reddit karma system that would even be interested. Overall: Tin can is a below average version of spoon and instagram live feature which only gained popularity during the pandemic and fails to show evolution and diversity from other apps which are like similar to it, but better. Yes there are other apps than Tin Can. Tin can does have a small community which is close knit; however, the community as a whole lacks tenacity due to the social outcasting the members have received in the real world which makes them very sensitive to mere memes /!: jokes, so if you do decide to join Tin Can. Be careful what you say and what you do because if one doesn’t like you all doesn’t like you. ### 5/5 — Hi! I’d like an improvement *2020-11-28, version 1.26* I want to be able to upload a voice memo from my google drive or iPhone to the app. Is it dueable?! **Developer response:** Hi greatheightss, Thanks for your kind review! Yes! You can import/upload a voice memo to Tin Can. You can find the information you need on out FAQ pages. https://tincansupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058336854 Thanks, Tin Can Service Team. ### 5/5 — I love it ❤❤❤❤ *2020-07-30, version 1.19.2* The app is very good I use a lot I'm devin the duck on the app will recommend it ### 4/5 — Can’t wait to get started! *2020-06-24* I love the idea of this off-beat podcast brainchild. Improvements can always be made, but I’d love to see this app keep its simple and accessible format. Only feedback I can give or suggest is allowing “blog” posts for your channel. Maybe brief 150 character posts where you can provide your followers with any changes in scheduling, programming, etc. ### 5/5 — Super chill *2020-06-23, version 1.18* I just downloaded this app, and I really enjoy it! It’s really chill, and very satisfying to my Libra rising haha. There’s something aesthetically pleasing about this app, and I dig it ### 4/5 — Love the app- Suggestions: *2020-06-22* Normally don’t write reviews but I am a fan of the app. Suggestion: Tin Can should create a feature where you can duo live with other people, I would be so down for that. **Developer response:** Hi Hunter.wt, thank you for writing your review! We are glad to hear that you enjoy the app. That is definitely a great feature to have and many of our users have suggested that as well! In fact, we are working on the Co-Hosting feature: users will be able to livestream with another person in the future! 😊 ### 2/5 — Keep getting an error when creating nickname *2020-06-14, version 1.18* I’ve tried multiple times to install the app but it wont let me pass the nickname field, it says that it should be at least 4 characters, I write my nickname and it keep saying invalid parameter **Developer response:** Hi Brunolono, thank you for leaving us the review. We apologize for the error and we have looked into this situation. According to our database, you signed in using phone number; however, you need to create an account first before signing in.

Thanks! 😊 - Tin Can Support Team ### 4/5 — Should have a Messaging feature *2020-06-10* I love this app so much, it’s my new favourite thing lol. One thing it’s needs tho is a DM or Messaging feature. If I make a new friend on someone’s live stream, I wanna talk with them outside of that stream. Idk I think it would add to the experience. Thank you for making this platform, I love it! ### 4/5 — Very unique *2020-06-09, version 1.18* It’s a very unique app and that’s why I like it but here recently I can’t get on it because it keeps saying unstable Internet connection 🙄🙄 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Facebook login *2024-03-16* After almost a year, I can’t recover my old tincan account that I use to login, now I had to restart all over again. Updates after updates the staff continues to say they was going to work on it and never do. This is a one of the main issues why people isn’t active on there smh. **Developer response:** 🥫Heya Nickayee! We do apologise for the disruptions in our Facebook login. However, as per our latest update, new users can now sign-up using Facebook. Unfortunately, due to the new meta system, past Facebook sign-in accounts can no longer be accessed, requiring users to make new accounts. A phone number validation in now a part of the Facebook sing-up process for added security and to prevent this from happening again. We do understand the the frustration this may cause and for that we apologise. 🧶 ### 1/5 — Hey *2023-09-30* I can’t add a profile picture on my account even though it says I can do one. Also, community very toxic people make fun of Black people, gay. And talk about underage stuff. not safe for kids. ### 1/5 — Service unavailable *2023-07-25* I tried to make a new account but whenever I input my mobile number the service shows unavailable, can this please be sorted? ### 1/5 — DELETE *2022-06-13, version 1.58* why cant i post????? there is no done, or post button. ive used this a few times and now its pooped out....sweet already done using this app. i copied the text i was trying to post.....it can only paste back into tin "poop" can. im deleting NOW. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2020-11-07, version 1.22* I do not like this app it broke when I tried to live do not recommend I hate it honestly. ### 1/5 — 😡 *2020-07-24, version 1.19.2* Developers is there any kind of security measures that will be installed onto the app!!! because there are trolls people that come on this app just to harass people copy their profiles and continue harassment. frankly I like the app , but I’m getting sick of it because I’ve made multiple reports and no response no action has been taken **Developer response:** Hi Mr 937, we apologize for the negative experience this user have caused.

We appreciate your help and effort in keeping Tin Can a safe space for everyone! We will do our best to keep users like this off our platform. Thank you for understanding! :) Sincerely, Tin Can Support Team. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up via App *2020-07-12, version 1.19.1* I tried signing up through the app. Pressed the button that says “sign up with phone number” but it won’t let me create a username and continue ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-04-13* I was hoping this app would be something like Twitch meets talk radio — a place where I could passively listen to interesting people talk, and maybe interact with them a bit. Unfortunately, it seems like every broadcaster on this platform rarely has more than 3-4 people listening at a given time. As a result, none of the feeds are very professional or interesting to listen to, and usually just consist of the broadcaster desperately trying to make forced small talk with their tiny audience. I also found the app to often be used for flirting more than making interesting content. Broadcasters will just be trying to impress the one girl listening to them talk, etc. Small can be fun, but there’s such a thing as TOO intimate. The app also sends out way too many push notifications begging you to listen to these tiny unpopular shows as if they were exciting or interesting. **Developer response:** Hi J.J. McCullough, thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with your experience on Tin Can. We believe that everyone has a voice and story to share; therefore, we built this app to encourage everyone to share their thoughts, story, and feelings with like-minded people while making intimate connections. We want to provide the special space to find the sense of connectedness and the authenticity of voice and sound. We have keep adjusting the push notifications. Thank you for checking out Tin Can! - Tin Can Support Team ### 1/5 — bad *2019-05-08, version 0.98* I don't like it. ### 2/5 — Occasional tech issues *2024-06-27* I love TinCan and enjoy the concept behind it but sometimes, there’s a glitch in communication. I’ve had an issue with logging in :(. Been unable to log in since the update and feel frustrated that I couldn’t find help easily. Would love to come back to the app after a while (and hopefully give it the 5 stars the developers deserve) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App is shutdown *2024-11-14* So for all the people having problems where they can’t sign in it’s because the app got shutdown and what it seems like it might be permanent idk maybe temporarily ### 5/5 — Love this App but please fix it *2024-06-19* I love this app, i love talking to people + listening to them talk but i haven’t been able to view a single live or sign in for months !! please fix !! ### 5/5 — End of an Era *2024-06-01* I initially joined this app over four years ago when it was still fairly new bc A favorite YouTuber of mine was promoting it. I meant to only have it for a day or so but ended up keeping it for the next four years. I’ve made many friends, laughed many laughs, and cried many cries. The Tin Can community was always there for me through the ups and downs and was always so I voting and warm. Tin can thank you for everything, you will be missed 🥺🫶🏼 - aehT ### 5/5 — Cece96xo *2022-02-18, version 1.46* TBH love the app. got on here when the pandemic started and will have long life friends bc of it🥺 ### 5/5 — Can *2021-04-24* I met these wonderful people thanks to the app Kay is very funny and alien is chill thanks for letting me have the app **Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review!
