Threads Positive Reviews
Government Induced StupidityOne of the main benefits and blessing of the US Constitutional system is that the “inefficient” checks and balances created and inherent in the system minimizes the the abuse of power and arbitrary arbitrary decisions inherent in authoritarian governments. That system of checks and balances insures that our government is required to operate with integrity and democratically for all citizens. It is why so many, if not ALL of the Trump appointed executives who think they are “running” our government have a commonality of person abuses of power and loyalty (obsequiousness) to Trump no matter how harmful or stupid the statement or action of or by Trump might be.
We revolted from the authoritarianism of King George in 1776 and England followed our example by limiting the power of their subsequent Kings. The stupidity of a slight majority of our voters seems to have forgotten what our country’s founders learned and sacrificed to actually “Make Our Country Great.”
The irony of the computer expertise of many of the wealthiest supporters of Trump makes me suspicious that the actual 2024 vote tallies in many states might have been manipulated to corruptly insure Trump’s election.
As the chief Certified Idiot said about the 2000 Presidential election “it was corrupt and stolen” but the Truth may be that the year was wrong and the Stolen Election may have actually been in 2024..Allan_HyVersion: 372.0
“Follow the leader, gone wrong!”It would be nice if they figured out the # thing .. and when I post it’s like I’m talking to myself .. just seems pointless. Coming from IG’s “follow the leader” culture, with the whole assigning a number based on when a person made an account, the whole thing feels forced, and not being able to delete it without deleting IG is wild. Feels like being held against your will. Plus they know people would delete it. There are a ton of bots, specifically porn or sexual promo bots. They leave most of the comments I see once I scroll past the real people. I feel like it will be better later but they might have jumped the gun with this. With all those “great” minds working for the company .. you’d think they’d try to create something new instead of just making an off brand twitter..Sean mahVersion: 327.1
Powerful platform but not overwhelmingApp is easy to use and has a slick design. While most social sites, including Meta’s other subs, have continued to crowd platforms with bells and whistles that are “good to have” but “not needed” - threads has kept things functional while also adding certain beta features in background that seem to be promising (fediverse). Enabling user to not be restricted is right move imo. The character limit per thread window seems to not sit well with others but I understand that’s likely limited due to vertical screen real estate available. 3.5-4 stars bc despite loving the platform it’s still it’s not competitive to my knowledge on a payout structure. This should be available to every user. I don’t even have the option to monetize and my follower base is close to 50,000 users across meta companies.
Threads would be one of my top three platforms currently if they :
1) make profit share structure competitive; and
2) make path to becoming eligible understandable (in layman’s terms and not buried in layers of docs - we’re not attorneys)
Overall good experience thus far besides being banned and Threads removing my ability to like or comment for a few days. I was sent a notification that my account had been compromised when it had not been. A few other things but running out of time. Okay until next time..TurkonthelurkVersion: 358.0
Better Than TwitterThreads, an app renowned for its unique features, has gained significant popularity and emerged as a preferred choice among users. Offering a range of advantages, Threads stands out as a superior platform. One notable aspect is its emphasis on fostering intimate and focused conversations, allowing users to create private groups and establish genuine connections. Moreover, Threads excels in content curation, providing personalized recommendations based on individual interests and preferences, resulting in a more tailored and enriching user experience. The app's intuitive design and seamless interface further contribute to a smooth and enjoyable browsing experience, setting Threads apart as an innovative social media platform. With its distinct features and user-friendly approach, Threads is redefining the landscape of microblogging and gaining recognition as a prominent contender in the realm of social media..Calix3 Blocbeoa UserVersion: 289
Only negatives…The app offers nothing unique and because it’s tethered to Instagram and Facebook, suddenly those are inundated with strangers asking to become “friends”. The worst of it is that there’s literally no exit; NO means of withdrawing one’s name and any information attached to it. I’m wondering if that also applies now to IG and FB, since Zuckerberg, in my opinion, is desperate to claim as many followers as possible in an effort to attract more advertisers. 🔅fyi, literally can’t sign out without leaving at least a one star rating, so that’s what you’ll see. I want OUT!!!
…. I appreciate finally having my hacked account with photos returned after two years, but still wish to be freed from Threads, while remaining connected to Facebook and Instagram.
I left kindergarten behind a long time ago.

Hidden Words Not Staying HiddenSo far, i am enjoying this app. obviously there are some features missing that i want, but it is good so far for it’s first update.
my one complaint about the current features though…the words i have hidden are still showing up on my timeline. this must be a bug, but it is a frustrating one, because there are certain posts i absolutely do not want to see and yet i’m still seeing them. i hope this can be fixed soon!!
otherwise, the algorithm seems much better to twitter, although it still needs some work. i’m looking for a following tab that hopefully i can make my default timeline, so i’m not seeing so many random accounts. i would also like a feature where you can switch between accounts easily, like on instagram, and i want their to be a close friends equivalent!.Armymoos uniteVersion: 289
Found ceillys on threads.“I had been feeling stuck in my music taste and was looking for something fresh when I joined the Threads app. I started following a few music influencers and kept an eye on what they were sharing. One day, someone posted a track from Ceillyss, describing her as ‘a hidden gem’ and ‘the voice of the next wave of indie pop.’ I was immediately intrigued, clicked the link, and found myself completely captivated by her music. Her style blends electronic beats with emotional depth, and I instantly felt connected to her sound. Without the Threads app’s real-time posts and recommendations, I might never have come across her music, which ended up changing the way I view contemporary music and even inspired my own creative journey. It’s crazy how one post can make such an impact!”.Steven. SteveVersion: 360.0
WORK IN PROGRESS but goodThis is literally the better twitter. the community is less toxic and the app as a whole is just better. there’s way less ads which is also a plus. HOWEVER one of the main problems is in your main feed, there tends to be a bunch of random threads from people you don’t even follow or associate with who you follow. i do understand that this is a new app though and the algorithm is a work in progress which is understandable. one thing i think would make the app a little cooler, and even better than twitter, is if you had app theming, kinda like how you can theme the direct messages on instagram, but instead have it on threads, and have it be the whole app. (it would be really cool to open up a pink threads app 🤭) overall i think the app is really cool, good job 👍.PixystixoxoVersion: 291
Getting Better Every Day!I downloaded the app a few minutes after its public launch and have used it daily since then. I like the interface and the regular updates that add more functionality to the app.
I think this could be the most viable alternative to the X app and I can already see that it is becoming and exciting progressive space.
It is also heartening to know that the app is not at the mercy of the whims of a single owner but that there is a team behind it. It’s also good to know that the team is responsive to user suggestions and actually incorporates those suggestions in further development.
Overall, I am hopeful that Threads will keep growing and become a vibrant space for a diverse community of users.
Thank you so much, Meta, for creating this app!!.MrajaVersion: 295.0
Great App, but….I really liked the app. Plenty of freedom of speech there, but there’s some negative aspects as well.
The negative stuff first.
Not much really. The first day I saw about 10-15 threads that all read exactly the same down to the last character from different posters. All the pics from the posters seemed to be young attractive women, and they all read, “I’ve been sober 15 years today” and some other stuff. All exactly the same. That raised a ton of red flags. About the only other thing would be the insane amount of political post. I cannot stand politics, so rather than arguing or getting angry, I just left the app. Way too many post to just ignore, and it’s from proponents on both sides.
The biggest positive is the freedom of speech on there. Far better than Twitter, or X, or whatever it goes by now.
It’s a great app, but not for me, personally..ClaytonMikeyVersion: 343.0
Peaceful and elegantA real sense of community without spam, nudity, and general content you do not wish to see. There may be a sacrifice of my anonymous data being sold to corps, but I am getting exactly what I want so I don’t care. Peace and tranquility and a sense of community is what I was attempting to find on other apps, and this is the first one. It’s a conversation! It’s not an argument. It’s not spoon feeding me videos all day as I scroll past over and over again. This is a new way for me to interact with people of my interests without being bombarded with outside influences.
Nevertheless, there is still a great mixture of conversations you can randomly begin to be a part of that may not be of interest.
This is the gen z app where inclusion is of the highest priority, and community is cherished..Awesome Sauce 8Version: 289
Looks Decent Works HorriblyThis was released way before it’s time. They should have figured out the basics. No hashtags, no search for anything other than usernames, poor interoperability between Meta platforms of any, immediately put limits but never posted or published expectations, good active threaders being put in timeout or banned due to being excited and active, no way to communicate with AI to explain your case of not being a script. Head of Instagram acknowledged that unintentional restrictions would be put on active users with good intentions with no way of getting ahold of the company. You see so much crap, and you have no control of your feed. When you unfollow people you will see the egregious content anyway. Profile is weak, text characters is too limited, no way to know if those you follow and following you. No edit button, slow & unresponsive, the list goes on….Captain BrooksVersion: 292.1
Honest Review After 2 DaysThe app is obviously in its early stages, with missing features like dms and a trending page. Still, I think the app runs very smooth, looks nice, and has great potential. I’ve already seen an increase of activity as the days go by, and I’m excited to see the app grow!
To everyone who is leaving 1 star reviews, realize that this app came out less than a week ago. You have no sense of how apps work if you think they would have all functions available at once. Of course it’s not perfect, and you shouldn't expect that from ANY new app. Especially considering a new social media platform is impossibly difficult to start up. But we know it’s more than just another app review for some of you out there..DonttwasteurtimeVersion: 289
New ideaSo basically since you are all owned by the same company I wondered since instagram robbed phhhoto’s boomerang feature and implemented it on instagram why not do kinda the same but with like the music feature that phhhoto had. The concept was basically you could add a song to your profile and whenever someone looked up your profile it would have the song you chose playing in the background meanwhile they looked at your profile and pictures. I figured it could work since instagram has a lot of licenses from known artists so I don’t know it might work and a lot of people would appreciate that including me. Anyways threads by far is a great social networking app and I’m glad I got to use it more than Twitter..Daydreamz024Version: 293.0
Do away with twitterTwitter is just way too ratchet.
To gain followers can be difficult
Threads have the option to transfer followers.
Twitter seemed to program its users with an overload of overly sexualizing things , overly romanticizing thing or just too much politics. With threads you get instagram but from the mind of creative people. So it will keep your mind in a better headspace. I keep bring up twitter but it is obviously a competitor but it’s a very distracting application. To find some of the creators that are more critical thinkers you have to actually find those people. There is also pornography on twitter I just don’t understand where the line is drawn with professionalism. Like it’s not good for anyone that wants to start a business what so ever..Spring husseinVersion: 375.0
Twitter Transfer to ThreadsPlease find a way to transfer all of the text from Twitter into threads so that we can drop Twitter as a social media platform and use it for something else more important than entertainment. To Meta, you’re well aware that entertainment can be educational and vice versa. Help me entertain and create the world. I’ve already set a example of what each of us is capable of doing. Watch and research me meticulously, Mark Zuckerberg. I’m just like you but younger. I’d love to talk with you on a podcast this week. Please make it happen. It’s for the sake of humanity.

My opinion about Threads appI like the app but what really drives me crazy about it is first of all you just don’t know if someone is sending a message to you or someone else because I see a bunch of people answering the same post !!! Unless they send you a private message . And another thing is that the app keeps sending you the reminders of the same posts over and over again , several times a day !!! This is very annoying , frustrating and not necessary at all !!! One notification would be enough , maybe a second reminder but not 5 reminders every single day !!! If I want to open the post I will do it when I want to do it and I don’t need to be reminded every couple of hours of every single day !!! I just can’t stand it anymore and I am actually considering deleting this app because it’s so aggravating !!!.Agnessa AndersonVersion: 373.0
Is good but can be betterGot fed up with Twitter and decided to use Threads. I already have an account on insta so the sign-up process was smooth which is appreciated. If you’re familiar with how Twitter functions, Threads is similar and will be easy to pick up.
Some stuff I’ve noticed that I hope will be added soon: “search engine” is nonexistent, hashtags don’t work (cuz there’s no “search engine” I’m gonna assume), and if you wanna plan out future posts you can’t. Idk if it’s due to this being an early version of the app and it not being completely finished + not wanting to be super similar to Instagram + wanting to differentiate itself from Instagram since all those features are available on that app but it would be nice to include them in Threads. Pls add these functions to Threads! Thanks in advance.Rumba38Version: 291
From indifference to love <3If I could analogize with the use of pop culture how threads has grown on me it would be like how Serena from Love Island said she was a slow burner and took a while for her to fall for Kordell, haha. Threads had a rough start with me. I had no reason to use it in terms of my enjoyment and even feeling the need to be on another social. But after all these months, it’s now holding its own to me, I enjoy the conversations I have there and I actually feel safer opening up myself, so that’s cool. I like to use my words and have thought provoking conversation that isn’t toxic and I absolutely feel like there are less trolls there so the substance feels more authentic. Looking forward to growing my presence there..Berberry2013Version: 345.0
Room for improvementIt’s a great resource, but it needs work to be competitive and provide as much value to users as X/Twitter. It needs some significant functionality upgrades in terms of the sources a person chooses to follow. I get disjointed timeline exposure the way they’ve chosen to load the most recent posts at the top instead of fostering a pick-up-where-you-left-off format. I’m always going backward to catch up to what’s current. I think if they can fix that feature, this app will be more attractive to news sources and other contributors to grow the platform. I’m sure this is only temporary, but I appreciate the lack of ads. I would like to see a feature once those become part of the app to pay a small subscription fee and have an add free version..MellowghostVersion: 315.1
Many BugsWhen I click a thread I can’t see any replies. Instead I get a message saying “Sorry, something went wrong. Try again.” Same thing when I click on someone’s profile. I go to their page but don’t see any of their threads or replies. It says “Content not available”. When I try to reply to a thread it shows up as a reply but it says “your thread failed to upload”. If I click the heart at the bottom I go to the Activity page. On that page no matter what I select from the menu: All, Follows, Replies, etc… each says “Sorry,something went wrong. Try again”. My wireless connection is strong. I’ve tried both with and without a VPN. I’ve deleted and re-downloaded the app a few times. Nothing helps. Always the same result with the same bugs..MdkantorVersion: 292.1
Shadowbanned on day oneI followed a bunch of people right away, as that’s what you do when you get a new social media account. I also made a post similar to what’s been going around “dear algorithm, send me likeminded people.”
Now I can’t follow anyone, it won’t let me report the problem. It said a post was removed due to community guidelines violation, but I’ve read them and have no idea how my post could have violated anything. It won’t tell me WHICH post (if it was a repost? I have no idea).
And now the entire point of threads — interacting with and following likeminded people — is pointless because I can’t engage.
If this is how things are handled, with no communication or explanation just shadowbanning, when you HAVENT violated any guidelines and can’t find out how it may have been perceived that you did: I find this app to be pretty pointless..Still_day_Version: 356.0
SEEMS PROMISING BUT…Zuck, my boy…if we’re gonna rake in the legal trouble by “mimicking” or grabbing “inspiration” from the bird next door *wink wink* let’s go ahead and stick to what works. Please, I beg you, fix the video playback on this app. Let’s grant users the option to disable auto-play, let’s add a scrolling tool so we don’t have to sit through the whole video or (God forbid) have our fingers slip and start the video all the way from the beginning, and let’s fix that pesky/stubborn audio enable button.
Also, let’s update the U.I. a little bit. It’s giving: bland. Let’s add some pizzazz! I enjoy seeing what threads my friends reply to, but I also wanna see what they like.
Lastly, the search tab…have your team take some notes on what Bluey’s doing to make things interactive (i.e. “For you”, “Trending”, “News”, etc.) and move forward from there. Thanks buddy..ShavialonzoVersion: 289
Pretty good so farLike many people have said, I’ve been wanting something to replace twitter for a while and so far this is doing a good job at being that platform. I don’t like, however, that my feed is flooded with meme accounts already, and I don’t see what my friends are posting. I’m sure my friends are not posting much, with it being such a new app, but the millions of memes in my homepage ensures I will never see them. It would be nice to have the home feed dedicated to just who you’re following, even if there’s nothing new for a while, and have the search page be for meme accounts and such. Or maybe a “posts you may like” page or something. If I wanted to see a bunch of garbage on my feed I would go to Facebook. I guess I’m just hoping for something more personal and focused on people I actually know..AesthticNekoVersion: 291

Threads Negative Reviews
Takes a bit to figure outIt took me AGES to find the following feed (the option is shown when you tap the logo on the home page). I would prefer that be default, or at least show the different feed options all the time instead of making users root around in “help” for the answers. I assumed tapping the logo would just refresh the feed like it does everywhere else. It’s not the most intuitive approach. That said, the app is a little better now that I can actually see my friends’ posts. There are still problems, though. I toggled off the political content option, but a LOT of politics from people I’m not following still show up in my “for you” feed. I can’t find a way to disable reposts from showing up in my following feed, even when I search the help page, which defeats the point of me being in the “following” tab—I want to see the posts of people I’m actually following, move reposts to the “for you” or something. To top it off, the let’s say “quality of users” is just as reactionary and inflammatory as those on the OTHER app, so making the switch seems largely irrelevant unless you’re concerned about the other place disappearing. But I give it an extra star because there is at least an option to get out of the general population nonsense..Aidan not AidenVersion: 353.0
Try to avoidDespite being named threads this app really does just have the worst comment threading/stacking function, making it impossible to follows people’s replies or conversations. It also just seems to be filled with all the people from twitter who post the most click-baity nonsense designed to generate engagement (“what’s your worst airplane story?” “I’m not visiting places where they say they don’t want tourists anymore, what do you think?”. The truly hateful people from twitter/X seem to be gone at least, but what remains are the most annoying people who either (deliberately?) misunderstand everything, comment to just say the person starting the thread are stupid/wrong, or just tell the most boring dad anecdotes about their day but act like it’s some deep philosophical insight.
I occasionally cave and download threads so I can read an interesting looking post advertised through instagram but by the time the app downloads instagram will refresh and I can’t see the ad for the post to click on it again anyway. I’ll then briefly scroll on threads, get annoyed by the banal/inane nonsense, leave and uninstall again..Mo131990Version: 340.0
Threads is ruining Instagram. use Pinterest insteadI am genuinely considering finding other platforms than Instagram to use… because Meta forces posts from Threads to be suggested on my Instagram timeline and it’s ALWAYS some awful, offensive, or negative garbage that i would never want to willingly read! i cannot understand forcing negative content onto their main platform as a way to convince people to use Threads… i signed up for Threads when it came out and didn’t use it much but after seeing over 20+ awful negative takes on my personal Instagram account? i will 100% NEVER use Threads. and i might stop using Instagram too. because i shouldn’t have to make an effort to not read the suggested posts just to avoid seeing the cynical garbage that people share on that platform. maybe drama and pointless negativity entertain other people? huge turn off for me. and there’s literally no way to turn it off on my Instagram but hey! the awful suggested Threads posts are what made me sign up for Pinterest. and now i love Pinterest more than Instagram :) so that’s a good thing at least.KjkennemVersion: 312.0
Terrible app. Can’t delete profile and is forever linked with IGIf you haven’t signed up for this app, don’t. You can’t delete your account without deleting your IG account. Even on IG accounts you didn’t create a Threads account for, you will have a forced integration with the app and it will shove political crap down your throat. Those are the only threads being promoted and I don’t interact with content like that on my IG. My IG is for friends, family, art, and puppies—I have no desire to add political rage bait to that blend. Now I seem to have no choice and no way to mute this, which makes me want to abandon Instagram entirely.
I never liked Twitter, which is why I lasted only a few days on Twitter before abandoning my account years ago. That app just seemed like a cesspool of toxicity and I had no desire to be a part of it. I didn’t realize threads was a cheap Twitter knock off. I checked out the app out of curiosity and I regretted it immediately. If this continues, I may abandon Instagram entirely. It’s what I did with Facebook a few years ago and I have not regretted that choice one bit..A. ShrawVersion: 306.0
The app was great until it completely stopped workingI got threads the day it was released and for about one and a half weeks it was running great and was a lot of fun, certainly a lot more than Twitter. Then all of a sudden the app completely broke. I still have a feed where I can see what others post, but I cannot see any replies, send any replies of my own, see any sort of account activity I might have, and not see any of my posts I shared when the app was still working. The only thing I still get is notifications that I have a new follower. Great! But when I log in to see my activity there’s literally nothing there. I have tried absolutely everything from logging out, deleting the app and also sending problem reports multiple times all of which were left unanswered. This app was so great to use until it became completely unusable. Now the app is just gathering dust on my phone and will probably be deleted soon. I wouldn’t bother getting it unless this issue is resolved. They really fumbled the ball on this one….LucasOConnorVersion: 301.0
Purposefully restricting with no causeI have two accounts connected to threads, one where I have political discussions and one where I just post photography. Threads has, in a matter of days, restricted my political account from being able to post literally anything. They are obviously censoring those who have a political opinion they disagree with. It was one thing to just shadow ban my original posts, and at least I could reply to other threads… but now I cannot post at all? This is wrong and you know it. I never posted any hateful content or lies, only truth and educated opinions supported by links and videos to show proof. It’s so bad that it won’t even let me submit a report to report the problem! This is not “protecting” your community, it’s censoring it. And I know it’s censorship, not just a glitch, because my photography account is completely normal. No shadow ban, no censorship, and able to post like normal. This is wrong and you know it. I will be talking to lawyers about this. I have screenshots and screen recordings of everything..JazzimmVersion: 306.0
No Likes tab, no search feature, no bookmarks, no hashtagsThe threads app is the app everyone wants to love but they don’t give us any features that we need in order to love it. If you like a post, you have no history of your likes, so you can’t go back to it later. This is a privacy concern because you cannot track the posts that you liked. You can’t go deep in your settings somewhere and find this because it doesn’t exist. Facebook has always hidden features like likes in inscrutable settings that the average user cannot find. This is not a transparent solution. We need a separate likes tab and we need bookmarks for privately marking things. Also missing from the app are hashtags, anf any search whatsoever except for searching for names of accounts. There is no chronological timeline even though I thought that was promised in this version of the app, but it is not there in the update so far. Overall a disappointment of an app, unless you want to follow random influencers, sports accounts and famous people..Badkitty_Version: 293.0
ImpossibleSo the more apps that are constantly being added just to message is just getting a little far out. at this point most would not want to keep adding more apps for the features that should just simply be added to the ig. personally i cant even watch a fb post cause people post it from ig, and the video wont play unless u go to another app. i just dont open it cause thats just more work for what already needed to worn on fb. the cideo wont play unless u go to ig. but fb amd ig own each other, so why cant the video just play anyway. more apps is just making ur phone grow weary. the same as X. nothing new. im not sure exactly at all what they are implimenti g by copying another app. snapchat is just as bad. when the features are just like imessage. u send pictures and texts just like snap. im confused as to why someone ises another platforom to message others. ive used more than those features and u just cant really have a need about snap, or threads. these are alike in the area of remade, boring, copycat work..MojoenowVersion: 312.0
App Crashes when postingI managed to make a few posts, comments, and shares before it started to crash. I can view feeds and profiles and I can like posts but when I go to comment or create a post it crashes- app closes out. I have logged out and logged back in ( which worked once) and I have deleted and reinstalled the app several times. There isn't anything wrong with my internet connection, I have plenty of space, no additional apps running in the background and both my iPhone and the app itself are at their current updated version. I have tagged them in issues on Instagram stories, I have messaged directly and then managed to send a ticket through the app all with no response. I understand if this was a user-wide issue due to the app being new but it is not. I would have better to say because I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the beginning but can no longer enjoy because I can no longer engage. A fix is needed..GracePheonixVersion: 289
What’s really going on here?Dear threads, the reason why I’m giving you one star barely is because there’s a lot of folks wasting time on here sending the same thirsty message to hundreds of people, male and female asking to be “your best friend they want to be your trainer, but everybody is semi nude, soft porn thirsty, seeming foreign all black what is that something is wrong because these men are ridiculous and some of the pictures I’m sure are stolen because I just don’t understand what this phenomenon is. I’m sure you guys are paying attention to the postings on here so take a look at these multiple spam people who keep sending 100 folks the same message I want to be your best friend I sent you a message and you can’t check the messages. You can’t read anything they say because it’s gone to like I don’t. I don’t know why you can’t but it’s not. it’s not one message you receive their several and go to different people so something is wrong or something is happening here. I gotta check it outZuckerberg.BanalucaVersion: 352.0
Content is slow to load (sometimes 10-15 seconds) and the feed is uninterestingThe poor performance of the service was the worst part of it overall. Takes way too long for anything to load including just text which is crazy to me given Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and really any other service is generally quick even with content that is media rich. The other problem is the feed is boring. I see plenty of things that are utterly uninteresting to me despite the likely importing of my interests and data from instagram. I would have expected that that would having me seeing things that were at least semi relevant to me but that is not the case. The thing I like about twitter is the ability to curate what I want to see but the approach here seems to be that the user is not in control of what they see or don’t see. All that said if this all was improved I could see myself liking Threads but for now it’s not that great.OhBraveNewWorldVersion: 289
Overhyped unfinished appApp that was definitely just dropped because people were fussing about twitter again and don’t get me wrong because I’d love to see new competition so twitter will step up and stop making dumb decisions, but as of now, why would I have any reason to use threads? Profiles are boring and messy, no customization besides changing your icon and putting a link, no pinned posts or some sort of media tab, no way to browse people you ACTUALLY follow, and what was the point of flexing no ads if the following feed is brand after brand after brand anyways? There’s also no dms.
Uninstalled after muting over a hundreds accounts, random celebrities and tiktok stars and brands I’ve never even heard of just keep appearing. Not worth your time, just keep using instagram because really, what’s the point of this app with how empty it is? Maybe in the future they will add dms and options to pin posts or have a media tab, but I legitimately can’t believe people were hyping up what’s half of a finished app.Mooo66Version: 289
Please read this review :)Twitter is better, and this app is horrible. Threads deserves 1 star because it’s boring and not the same as Twitter. Also I don’t think we really needed a twitter clone. Tbh I think we have enough social media as it is LOL. Also why leave or delete twitter when you literally have the biggest following on twitter. Also, for all the people that are trying to leave Twitter because you're too soft to deal with people, grow up LOL. Every social media app has bots and annoying people. It’s literally the internet; if you don’t like it, get off. Threads literally has the same thing as Twitter that’s why threads are implementing rate limits on the app now. Also, If you are leaving Twitter because of Elon Musk, well... I would rather trust Musk than the person who can’t keep data safe and also has privacy issues on their app. At least Musk hasn’t been to court for mishandling millions of people's data. A lot of people forget about what Zuckerberg has done with our data..FazeSlushiVersion: 292.1
Buggy and lacking important featuresI was scrolling on my feed liking posts when I suddenly got banned for "spam" despite never even posting, only liking posts. I tried to contest the ban but then the app completely froze for multiple minutes. I restarted the app and now it just says there's been an error. I even deleted and redownloaded the app and it still has the same message that I cant escape. there's literally nothing I can do. I'm just glad I made the account with a new instagram and not my personal account because if my actual instagram got banned for no reason I would be even more mad. On top of this, the app itself is like they combined all the worst parts of twitter and instagram, and left out anything good. The feed is clogged with posts accounts from accounts you don't follow, there's no post notification tab, no translate button, you can't select text, you can't search for specific posts, interface is cluttered, I could go on..Becca111111111234568900Version: 289
Overall decent, but… why so much data tracking?Briefly speaking, this app is decent overall, just needs some more updates like editing and better thread navigation stuff to be a more viable competitor to Twitter/be “Meta/Facebook/Instagram” Twitter.
Now for the data tracking rant.
To be fair, everything ends up collecting our data in some way or form and share it with everything else on the internet at some point. Though this is Meta which is one of the few social media apps that are notoriously bad for tracking data, they do not even bother trying to hide it for this app. At least with Facebook and Instagram you at least have the option to opt out (more likely give you the comfort feeling, not necessarily completely opting out) of tracking both as a pop up and in the settings (for ads mainly). This app? It tracks basically everything, and doesn’t even prompt you at all..WolflordZX83Version: 291
Sorry. No thanks.It was cool at first but the Twitter people came in so I had to do a lot of muting. Eventually things got better until the gatekeepers started coming in. More division, more toxic stuff. Things got better but now I have to be public in order to interact with others and what happens? Sex bots show up, I report them and I still get them. I go back to private and nothing is happening. We should be paid for reporting these bots since Threads isn’t doing a good job keeping things safe.
My followers are not around after asking me to follow them. I get more engagement on Instagram. I was wasting my time uploading photos. I decided to deactivate my accounts. Yet I still get notifications from Threads, wanting me to upload the app. Nah. I’ll delete the whole thing. I just hope I don’t get notifications after I delete it for good.
I’ll check later if it improves since it’s still a new app. It’s just not working for me right now..Some guy in the U.S.Version: 337.1
Can’t Use AppFrom the first time i downloaded the app, I was excited. The excessive facebook and instagram threads sections finally got to me. Unfortunately, upon downloading it won’t let me log in. It goes to connect to my instagram, I approve the device, then it just pops into a loading screen then back to the login page. It won’t tell me why, i’ve tried redownloading the app several times and turning off my instagram dual verification. Still won’t let me login past that stupid select account page. No reason why, no option to contact support or get any help anywhere on the app if you can’t even log in. The most frustrating part is the ads on instagram and facebook though. They will give me half a story and I can never finish them because you have to go to the app to view the finish. It’s just so annoying being captivated by something, then never getting to enjoy it because of technical errors..DontMatter.Version: 354.0
Clunky and lameI recently tried out this app, and let me tell you, it was a total letdown. Right from the start, the user interface was a mess. I mean, seriously, what were they thinking? It was confusing and just plain ugly. It felt like they randomly threw everything together without any thought for user experience. I was left scratching my head, trying to figure out where everything was.
But that's not all. The app had serious performance issues. It was as slow as a snail on a Sunday stroll. Every tap felt like an eternity, and don't even get me started on the freezing! I'd be in the middle of doing something, and bam! The app would freeze, leaving me frustrated and annoyed.
And here's the real kicker: Threads had this crazy, over-the-top censorship going on. They didn't want anyone to say anything remotely controversial or express any dissenting opinions. Come on! We should be able to have open conversations without being muzzled. It felt like they were trying to control what we could and couldn't say, and that's just plain wrong.
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend Threads to anyone. The terrible user interface, performance issues, and heavy-handed censorship make it a complete waste of time. If you're looking for an app that values free speech and actually works well, keep on searching, my friend. Threads is definitely not the one for you..BeRad_NZVersion: 289
There’s potentialNo point in getting this app if you want to use it to keep in touch with mutuals. You will not see who you follow on your feed, even if you change the settings to see so you follow first. You only get to see for posts at most by who you follow, after that, you just get recommended accounts who are verified and only post twitter screenshots. I hate twitter so only seeing twitters negativity is really disappointing.
Even if you’re content just seeing certain mutuals, if you accidentally refresh the app, you’ll never find whatever posts you were looking at, posted by your following, ever again. Your best bet to see all of who you follow Is to individually check all of their profiles daily. Who has time for that though? Might as well just take following people on the app off. Really disappointing for small creators. Not even upset for myself, just want to support my friends. Genuinely impossible.
Another thing, pictures upload in bad quality just line Instagram. 5 second videos take 5 minutes to upload. You have to click on the video and full screen it if you want to listen to it, with Instagram, don’t even have to click the video. You just turn up your volume and that’s why I love instagrams.
Praying they fix that following feed issue or it’ll be the apps biggest downfall tbh..SaraSweaterVersion: 289
Eh, it’s okay, too much like TwitterI’m not that impressed with it or the format. It just reminds me too much of Twitter, which is a toilet bowl of toxicity. This is heading in that direction already. They need to create something that’s all good and doesn’t just feed the verified influencers. It allows everyone to be verified. It treats everyone equally. It doesn’t shadow ban, but it also doesn’t shows you threads of people you don’t even follow nor are interested in, which is what it does now. Someone like a Jennifer Aniston merely posts a hand wave and 400,000 people click like. (Rolling eyes here). How about you create an app that actually shows really great content. People with something of depth and substance to say. We don’t need another Twitter sound bite app. As I said I wasn’t impressed with this. Also, they let users shame others on there. It’s a toxic cesspool..Lightwarrior101Version: 348.0
Threads blocks users from positive engagementI follow many great writers, political analysts, elected officials, candidates, pundits, artists and generally interesting people on Threads. I do my minuscule part to encourage great posts/reporting by selecting the “like” icon. Now I am suddenly unable to “like”. I get an error message after my “like” is thwarted/not counted, inviting me to report the problem; no resolution; vague crap about protecting users… protecting users from my “liking” posts??? I have reported hundreds of blocked “likes” and have submitted numerous requests for an explanation, repeatedly asked for restoration of my ability to engage, with no help. So when you see me that a post has “x” number of likes, factor in that some of us (how many? Targeted groups? Who knows?) are not being counted even though we try to like the post. Threads was my favorite social media app until this ridiculous restriction started..PdschenkVersion: 345.0

They collect: Health & Fitness, Purchases, Financial Info, Location, Contacts, Contact Info, User Content, Browsing History, Search History, Identifiers, all Usage Data, Diagnostics, Sensitive Info, Other Data.

Too much automated censorshipThreads has already twice temp banned me for totally innocuous comments. I am an upstanding social media citizen and I don’t appreciate being told I’m suspected of posting spam and then getting locked out. I’m done with this app. This is not the townhall we are looking for, they are controlling speech to an absolutely radical degree. I gave it a fair shot and it’s a big nope from me. We need a more open non-meta-owned solution to the problem. Scams run rampant, reports are ignored, and meanwhile the system bans good people for speaking up against bad systems/fraudlent advertisers. Total garbage.
