### 2/5 — Used to love on blackberry

*2020-03-19, version 4.9.3*

Wish they would update this app as it was one of the best twitter apps before

### 2/5 — Reading Tweets with replies

*2019-05-22, version 4.9.3*

And they twitch. It moves the TL every 5-10 seconds. Very annoying. No sound from videos.

### 3/5 — UberSocial

*2019-01-07, version 4.9.3*

I’ve been experiencing some issues where the app won’t open. It freezes a lot. It doesn’t move when you click on the icons up top. Typing freezes.

### 3/5 — Freezing A lot

*2018-10-20, version 4.9.2*

It takes a while for the feeding to move. You have to wait awhile because it freezes up. I’m using IPhone 8 Plus 12.0.1 version. When I logon I have to wait before I can post a tweet or read a tweet because of freezing. Try to scroll up or down and it won’t let me. I also notice that when I hit the U icon at the top the tweets don’t move up so if I wait a few minutes eventually the tweets will move up or down. This happens all time.

Would like to see the feed be at the top when you logon instead of where you left off.

### 3/5 — Automatic scroll to bottom?

*2018-05-15, version 4.7.0*

I can't get this app to stop automatically scrolling to the most recent reply. Why does it do this? How do you turn it off? I want to read through all the comments, not just the most recent one.

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2018-05-15, version 4.7.0*

Crashes anytime I try and open the app.

### 2/5 — The Decline of a Once Great App

*2018-04-17, version 4.7.0*

I have long been a user of this app in my various devices. Unfortunately the quality overall has declined since, oh, 2012 or so. Now when I attempt to upload a photo, it allegedly doesn’t meet some unnamed requirements. I’m really done jumping through hoops for this app. Plus it locks up my entire phone for 15 to 20 seconds at a time while running. I’ve disabled all notifications and I have to force quit it whenever I’m done.

### 1/5 — Won’t open since update

*2018-04-14, version 4.7.0*

And here I thought the terrible and constant lag was bad. Now the app won’t even open. Just crashes. Time to look for an alternative...

### 1/5 — Poor

*2018-04-05, version 4.7.0*

If the new download and bug fix was for the app to not even open, congratulations !!! It works perfectly.

### 4/5 — Almost there...

*2018-03-10, version 4.6.1*

This version is almost back to its former glory when I used to love this app when it was on my BlackBerry however few complaints no auto correcting or spelling checking is happening there’s no designated #hashtag button which is a need. 

Lastly the signature feature that used to shorten words for you to make the tweets fit.

### 3/5 — Fix X Supoort

*2017-12-19, version 4.5.1*

THE Resolution on the X is messed up and words overlap in the Top bar..please fix.

### 1/5 — Annoying ad pop ups

*2017-10-10, version 4.3.3*

Love this app, but it seems like something new is an issue every couple weeks. Now I get pop ups that take me out of the app to the App Store. Once would be annoying but not the end of the world, but now it is happening every few times I open the app. Fix it!

### 1/5 — App works for bout 30 secs

*2017-10-10, version 4.3.3*

Works for about 30 seconds then switches to the app store and freezes Uber. Pretty much garbage since last update

### 4/5 — Downside

*2017-09-17, version 4.3.1*

I would give it 5 Stars if it didn't keep crashing.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I would rather kill my self then use this app again

*2022-01-28, version 4.9.3*

I can’t disconnect it from my my account my life is low key bad enough no need to make it worse

### 1/5 — Little point to this app

*2019-10-09, version 4.9.3*

I can’t see any unique feature of this app. Certainly none that overcomes its many failings.  I couldn’t get it to go out of portrait mode, and personally I never use my iPad in portrait. That was the first annoying feature. It doesn’t let you clearly see who you are following when you open an individual profile. If you have thousands of followers that’s very difficult. When you scroll up and down it jumps back to the previous position repeatedly. Very annoying. Generally I found it to be glitchy and non intuitive, a complete waste of time and app space.  Pass.

### 1/5 — Force closes

*2019-01-30, version 4.9.3*

Every time I try to look at my own profile, it force closes and won’t let me see it. I like this app because it’s one of the only 2 apps I know that can share to both Twitter and Facebook. Please fix this

### 1/5 — annoying freezing

*2019-01-16, version 4.9.3*

the freezing is way too annoying. even after clearing the cache, restarting my device, and relaunching the app. terrible and ridiculous. someone complained about the freezing in oct.
2018 and it’s still not fixed. on to another app. :)

### 1/5 — Keeping the Faith.

*2019-01-15, version 4.9.3*

This once was the premier app for Twitter. It’s now just another useless icon on my iPhone. Constantly freezes. Takes an inordinate amount of time to do anything. Hey developers – what the hell did you do??? Fix it or shut it down so I can give up once and for all.

### 1/5 — Bitly not connecting.

*2019-01-09, version 4.9.3*

It has been months and continue to get error validating.  Support tickets sent o responses received

### 1/5 — No replies

*2018-12-26, version 4.9.3*

I can’t view other users’ replies to any tweets. Only tweets in my feed and my own.

### 1/5 — No built in tweet extension

*2018-09-28, version 4.9.2*

Where is the built in tweet extension. I no longer have one.

### 1/5 — Plume for Twitter

*2018-07-27, version 4.8.2*

Do you all offer Plume for Iphone? I can’t find the app anywhere.

### 1/5 — Freezes constantly and jumps to new tweets erratically

*2018-06-05, version 4.7.0*

Would freeze frequently, unresponsive to touch until shut down, possibly while new ads prepared to load. Often almost useless as a result.

Also would jump erratically to newest tweets, especially when viewing a conversation. Made that feature of twitter almost unusable.

### 5/5 — Lonely Planet Earth

*2021-08-14, version 4.9.3*

if Oceans are not clean Sun light wouldn’t help Phytoplankton make food for marine life and perhaps oxygen. People must control unnecessary driving which is not helping due to growth of population and the use of combustion engines worldwide

### 5/5 — I think it’s time for a update

*2020-01-18, version 4.9.3*

I think it’s time for a new update please

### 5/5 — Best Twitter app!

*2018-02-11, version 4.5.2*

It works great!

### 5/5 — Keeps crashing!!

*2018-02-07, version 4.5.2*

Fix the crashing and give us some new features that's 😉

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-11-10, version 4.4.1*

Very cool!!

### 5/5 — Reinstalled and now works great!

*2017-09-21, version 4.3.1*

Was having problems with past updates but now it seems to be running fine!

### 5/5 — It stopped working

*2017-09-16, version 4.3.1*

I updated my os and it stopped working

### 5/5 — Won't open

*2017-09-12, version 4.3.1*

It won't open at all 😑

### 5/5 — Awesome sauce

*2014-09-05, version 3.1.119*

So I'm only writing a review because I've loved this app since I've had a blackberry. so ages ago!! Lol it's awesome you see what apps people use where they tweet from, there's themes, you can create a list of just your friends or fav celebs or whatever and when people share their pics from Instagram it's already loaded it's not just a link like twitter for iPhone so yeah I recommend. there's more features but I doubt anyone's going to read that far so yeah I love it, you will too probably. :)

### 5/5 — A Love Story

*2014-05-07, version 3.0.114*

Once upon a time, I thought I had to have the twitter app installed on my iPhone in order to use this app. And why have two twitter apps?!? Coming from a Droid, I wasn't very happy to be losing my best friend, UberSoc. But one day, I decided enough is enough & I deleted the twitter app. I downloaded the UberSoc app. I approved the app through the web instead of the twitter app & we've been living happily ever after ever since. Oh UberSoc, how I've missed you so. You let me tweet longer, you save all my hashtags, I can create a circle of my closest friends and see their tweets always. I will never let you go again.
