5/5Its a little janky but I think that’s the charm
The app is slow and clunky at times. Freezing, stuttering, and jumbling peoples posts. But honestly, for something trying to emulate that old school internet blogpost style it works in its favor. Everything feels so small and interconnected. When I get 3 responses my eyes light up because it feels like a LOT. The feed moves slow enough that I can really sit down and consume whats in front of me. And the nature of “recommendations” and “asks” instead of basic posts encourages participation. I’ve been having a blast.

3/5So slow and frustrating
I sincerely love this app and the community on it, but with each update it seems to just get slower and slower. Things take too long to load after pressing buttons, so I end up avoiding certain features like lists or bookmarks. I frequently have to tap things multiple times for them to occur. I understand this app is small and does not have the same resources as others to deploy fixes and improvements, but I strongly suggest the creators prioritize functionality and smoothness over any other modifications right now as it is becoming off-putting even as someone who cares about the app. I have invited users who unfortunately did not stick around because the app was clunky and annoying to use.

1/5Impossible to Navigate (or Delete)
I really disliked the app's layout, it's poorly designed, difficult to understand, and not user-friendly at all. I was also automatically following around 80 people (?), and the constant spam emails were so annoying too. Finally, trying to delete my account was nearly impossible. I looked everywhere, checked on Google, and when I tried to log in on the web, it didn't even recognize my password or email, it was a whole ordeal. I finally found a post from 2025 where someone was asking how to delete their profile (poor person still has their account up, it seems they never figured it out). When I followed the link in the reply comment, the ‘Delete account' button was hidden in the tiniest neon blue text at the very bottom. Insane.

5/5Bug
I really like this app, but recently—a few months ago at least, the app turned black on the widget on my Home Screen that I usually have on, and when i enter the app it asks for my email, even though I’m already signed in. When i enter my email, it says “login failed.” I’ve tried reinstalling the app but it isn’t working, and I don’t know what to do, because i miss scrolling through it.

4/5fresh idea, excited for this :-)
a little slow+when scrolling sometimes glitches jumps back which is a little frustrating when i find a post i like and then it keeps jumping back and i lose the post. BUT overallt i really do enjoy using this app and like how its set up. some features id like to see is maybe more related to location? like choosing a location in the world and seeing what users there are discussing& sharing. its only been 24 hours of me using it but i think ima stick with this one. looking forward to more improvements!

Create & share - Smarter post suggestions. Composing a post now classifies and searches what you're adding more accurately, with improved ranking of suggestions. - Add a post to scenes directly, and add scene tags from a post's detail view. Explore & profile - My Scenes section in Explore, plus recommended scenes tailored to you. - "At a glance" category rail on profiles — a snap-scrolling row of someone's top categories with preview tiles; tap to open the full category feed. Personalization & onboarding - Choose your app icon. A new picker in Settings with 10 alternate icons. - Guided walkthroughs for the Conversations tab and for sharing into the app via the share sheet.

new stuff: events are way better. they show up as real cards right in your feed, you can rsvp without leaving, and if you're making one you can just paste a link and it'll fill in the date, place and flyer for you. home got a big overhaul. loads fast and mixes in little carousels (games, today's ask, your scenes, chats, a nearby map) plus some new finds like "on this day" and stuff rising in scenes you're in. also fixed that annoying thing where the feed would get stuck loading or show up blank. you can hide like counts now. either hide them everywhere, or just on your own posts so nobody sees yours. recs about a movie, album, place or show now tap through to a little page for that thing, so you can see who else rec'd it. joy friday is a stories rail now, and your own shows up in it too. articles have comments. want to see more at once? there's a smaller-feed-images option in settings. plus a bunch of fixes: swipe-back is less finicky, profiles stopped randomly going blank, sharing a rec in a chat now sends the real rec, and you can drag to reorder your pinned chats.
