Pls help ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2023-04-29, version 4.2.2* Love this app, such a great way to stay in touch with the ones you love!!! ### 5/5 — Sharing with confidence *2023-04-27* Finally a social network app where you can share with confidence of privacy. No follow up ticklers for items you recently ordered or googled. You can share family photos and relationship details that only your private group will see. Thank you True! ### 5/5 — No trackers or adds *2023-04-26, version 4.2.2* I feel totally comfortable using True. Feels safe and secure so far Had a couple shady friend invites but they are very easy to spot I have it 5 starts because True promises no adds and no tracking .I just switched from android to iPhone recently and I’ve got to say everything is running smoothly .keep up the good work True I’m a believer and I know this App is getting ready to take off . Please invite your family and friends and have a great and private fun thanks True ### 5/5 — I'm lovin' it *2023-04-25* Better than Macdonald's even. It's simple without a lot of distractions. I dumped Facebook years ago because it was so complicated. I've got family and a few friends that I can share stuff with... Don't need a huge audience and someone to track me or sell my personal data. Thanks, guys at true. ### 5/5 — A refreshing needed change to social media! *2023-04-25, version 4.2.2* I heard about this new social media platform from Richard Demuro of Rich On Tech. So I downloaded it and installed it to my surprise. It kind of feels like when Facebook first started back in the day before it was inundated with crap, advertisements, spam, click bait, and propaganda. True is something different entirely I’m excited to be a part of something new and hopefully this will be the go to platform for social media engagement in the near future. Now stop reading this review, download the app and don’t forget to friend me. Michael J Maione - host of the MICRO BREAK podcast. ### 5/5 — No ads. No algorithms. Just my friends. *2023-01-18, version 4.1.5* Really love this app! I use it like a diary. It’s easy to organize groups and get everyone on the same feed. Finally, my time isn’t wasted scrolling through stuff I don’t care about. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Tammie *2023-01-02, version 4.1.5* TRUE is great to use. I love being able to be part of the groups that interest me. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Creative touches *2023-01-02, version 4.1.5* Love the unique reaction notifications! Fun to use with a very calming, peaceful design. Never seen an app illustrated like with one is, clearly a lot of attention to detail! ### 5/5 — Great place to share ur life w friends and family *2023-01-02, version 4.1.5* Social media that’s not overrun with trolls and nonsense. Decide how much you share with whom! ### 5/5 — Finally no ads and no stressful feeds *2022-07-30, version 4.1.0* Download this app if you’re tired of seeing random posts and ads on social media. This is a new app so you may have to ask your friends and family download it. Once you do that, it’s so neat! No influencers, no one trying to sell you something. Good old fashion connecting with people you know in real life! ### 5/5 — So tired of Facebook, True works for me *2022-02-26, version 3.11.0* I love True and can’t believe more people aren’t talking about how great this app is as a Facebook replacement. Try it. ### 5/5 — True is the Facebook replacement you want *2021-07-30, version 3.10.7* Great job guys, simple, safe, private. We moved off Facebook because we don’t want to broadcast our private lives in public. I feel safe sharing my family videos here, it’s the best combination of a private messaging app and a social app I’ve found and I recommend highly. **Developer response:** Thanks Early Adopter! We want to be the best place for your to share that is safe, with no tracking and always free. So glad you love True! We also have a True Insiders thread where you can suggest new features and even have a direct connection to the Product Team - I hope you'll join and help make True even better. ♥️ Warmly, -Bret ### 5/5 — I want to promote this app and it’s cool if you try it too *2021-03-11, version 3.8.5* I love this app and will love to be a promoter of this app in my country and other countries around... How can I write you guys and make us work together ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug *2024-12-24, version 5.5.0* Every time I open the app or refresh the most recent post goes back a day. Currently looking at posts from October. ### 1/5 — X *2023-07-09, version 4.2.3* X ### 1/5 — Nightmare app *2023-07-02* I uninstalled this app ages ago but they will spam you for the rest of your life with “Alex wants to be friends” and no way to unsubscribe. I have emailed them multiple times. It’s so frustrating. Has the founder passed away? Was his name Alex? P.S. I’m 99% sure the 5 star reviews are paid and the 1 star reviews are from actual users. Maybe True is a shell company for drug dealers or a money laundering operation? It’s definitely not a legit social media company… **Developer response:** Hi OhSayCanYouSee, sorry to hear you had an issue with receiving a recurring email.

Help! ### 1/5 — What a bad start *2020-12-29, version 3.7.0* No code being sent to allow sign up ### 1/5 — Bugs??? *2019-10-14, version 2.4.3* Having a very difficul time... was super excited about app... worked great at first... confirming account prove to be a nightmare... tried confirming phone number...eek... Battle... tried setting password....no bueno... even writing a review my phone seized up....need more than 14m I suppose.....WTH??? ### 1/5 — Bad *2017-08-02, version 2.24* It keeps popping up as there is a problem. Fix it please ### 1/5 — All other reviews are fake. *2016-11-13, version 2.1* The title above says it all. ### 1/5 — Why facebook only to singup? *2016-11-06, version 2.0.9* I am disapointed to see that i cannot signup without Facebook accout? Why hello is relying on Facebook account? Why not with just email address? I rather dont signup. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable and easy to use *2025-08-01, version 5.5.6* It’s so good! My buddies and I have an online community and connect here on TRUE and it’s so great. Love that there are no ads. Not sure how the company makes money because they don’t charge anything! So thankful for this space. ### 5/5 — Great layout, super community *2025-01-17* This is what a great social app should look like, and act like. ### 5/5 — Privacy *2024-11-15, version 5.4.3* No ads. No trolls. Just a private place to share with a specialized group. Thank you True! ### 5/5 — True *2024-11-03, version 5.4.1* True has enabled our extended family to stay in touch as never before. We are grateful for its existence. ### 5/5 — Be true *2024-11-02, version 5.4.1* I’m liking true more all the time as random people join the app and contribute to threads or add a new one. It’s nice to make a friend and share something in common. It’s easy to get up date on one’s family, and safer to, as spammers are quickly kicked off. ### 5/5 — Best Social Networking App For Me *2024-10-30* Been on True for a long time now and have met lots of very nice people. This app allows you to create your own unique Threads whereby anyone can join or make it private. There’s threads for memes, cats, dogs, cooking, yoga, warbirds, too many to mention. You’re in charge of who you want to friend, gifs are available to use or post your own comments. It’s a fantastic platform with many people from all over. Download the app you won’t be sorry. ### 5/5 — True is my family's social network *2024-10-30, version 5.4.1* Simple clean, always positive and no ads, it has completely replaced Facebook and Instagram for our family. Could not recommend it more highly. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-10-10, version 5.3.0* Ive had this app for a few years now and i still love it! i love the people on there I love how easy it is to navigate, as well Its easy to get ahold of someone when there is an issue. Unlike Facebook can never get anything solved and lock you out of your account.. here the Creators add you and become your friends literally, they care about the people on this app, along with keeping you safe and your info. I like how noone can see or be added to anything unless you invite them to! Take my word for it ditch the other platforms and download True youll be so much happier!♥️ ### 5/5 — Great app for private group sharing *2023-06-18, version 4.2.2* Thank you for providing a great app that is free and with no ads! Our family really enjoys sharing the pics and videos with each other. Three suggestions: (1) Allow the submitter of an entry to edit the text after it has been posted (… vs. having to delete the entry, retype it, and then re-post it.) (2) Allow pics and videos to be submitted as a “Comment “ (… as supposed to only text). And (3) is really key … Please provide a way to download photos that other people post. Thank you for considering my suggestions. ### 5/5 — Great private sharing tool *2023-06-03, version 4.2.2* Thank you for making this tool free and with no ads ! Our family really enjoys sharing pics, videos and comments among ourselves. Two recommendations: * Allow a posted comment to be editable by the submitter (... as opposed to deleting the entire entry and re-entering it.) * Allow pics/videos to be added as a "Comment" (vs only text). Thank for for considering my suggestions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
