4/5It’s ok …
it’s a functional , stable app with the basic features down and not a whole lot else. Would love to see auto play gifs and videos. Quote posting and other features.

5/5Barebones but stable.
It does all the normal things well & has a clean, functional & sensible UI. Some features I would like to see: - notifications ( none so far) - browse posts on other people's timelines. ( you only see their "about" page unless I'm missing something) - quote posts -change font (not necessary but good for accessibility)
