Added on 9/28/25;

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-16, version 7.18.0*

I have iOS 26 and it doesn’t let me like or click on any post

### 5/5 — Great app, amazing community!

*2025-08-10, version 7.17.3*

@daisy6 here. I’ve been using this app since January, and so far I’ve encountered little to no problems! This is a social media app, so one of the most important things is the community. In the 6-7 months I’ve been on here, I had only great interactions with people.

I really like the challenges and how an ordinary person could host one. Tbh I wouldn’t want to host, but still nice that the opportunity is there.

### 1/5 — Horrid

*2025-07-27, version 7.17.3*

Banned for supposed homophobia i didnt do anything homophobic and I cannot get any moderaters to respond back to my emails

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-07-13, version 7.17.2*

Amazing app, so many people here, and they all nice, sadly my first follower is leaving 😭😭😭

### 3/5 — I got my account blocked

*2025-06-25, version 7.17.2*

I was having fun until I realized that I had to login in so I thought it was a bug I until I realized I got blocked like they also said they would send a email or something to unblock it so I go on my email it’s not there.

### 5/5 — 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2025-06-23, version 7.17.2*

This app is very cute! It also is a very fun concept and it’s fun just to post a few things every day and hope to make someone’s day! It’s very cool that you can look at other peoples pet pictures! I love this app!

### 5/5 — idk

*2025-06-23, version 7.17.2*

Very very fun app, I've made a lot of friends even though I've only been on here for about 7 months. It's very nice how you can have private accounts which is very useful if you just want to do something like store photos of your old pets so you don't lose them. I feel like it'd be very nice if you could put up to ten photos instead of five but it's still very nice <3.
