Threads, an Instagram app Positive Reviews

A Better Version Of Twitter But Also Needs TweakingI expect the posts on my feed to be from only the pages that I follow but what I get in addition to those posts is posts from pages that I don't even follow at all & have zero interest in following on Threads. So Meta/Instagram/Facebook could fix that please. The other thing is since I have two different Instagram & Thread accounts (one is my personal & the other is my artsy one that I use for arts & crafts, beauty, quotes, entertainment, & other fun, innocent stuff), I need a way similar to Twitter's way of switching accounts that makes it easier to switch accounts. Other changes need to be made as well but these two are the ones I want the most. I am not asking for perfection & the most perfect app since perfection is an overrated illusion, but I also understand that this is a new app & so there might be things to improve so I'm sure constructive feedback from users would be appreciated..SheltieOwner100Version: 289

Fine, but this can’t be good.I will preface this by saying that I very rarely access social media; I use Snapchat for a handful of people and have a Facebook account for Marketplace. I am also NOT an Elon fanboy. The app is made very well, as Meta has quite a robust budget and talented programming team. Aside from that, I don’t like how the people you follow are shuffled between random check marks and that it’s unfiltered. Good for a basic, feed-central social media. With all that being said, this app will cause nothing but trouble. Elon Musk’s primary reason for purchasing Twitter in the first place was to divorce it from political power and fumigate the existing echo chamber. Less shadow-banning led to a more balanced ecosystem of opinions. Mark Zuckerberg, head of Meta which was known to sell user information and bolster an all around terrible support ticket system, is making a new “Twitter” right before an election cycle. I can’t wait to see how one-sided things shall be on Threads and not Twitter. I do not wish to continue using either app, however I feel as if a neutral opinion was warranted..LocalKdiggeridooVersion: 289

Hope more is comingI enjoyed the onboarding experience of bringing in my Instagram followers. But then I was faced with an identity crisis. I’m a suburban mom on Instagram and an industry leader on Twitter. I don’t mix the two and it felt awkward. I trimmed some followers and found several Twitter friends. I am irritated by the forced content from people I’m not following because it feels like I’m standing in the tabloid section of a grocery store. Facebook started doing this a few months ago and it drives me crazy. It is a constant stream of ads for brands and influencers I have no loyalty to. I understand that it makes the app more addictive and makes you feel like you have to constantly check it to stay up on the latest trends, but I quite Twitter because of this. I’m tired of hitting Mute and Block on Threads just to enjoy my feed of the latest trends in my industry. Let me curate my content and be intentional about what I consume. I really don’t want to know what Hollywood celebrities are doing. If this “feature” continues, this will be the reason I don’t use Threads..EmsdotVersion: 289

What are Threads?I bought this I Phone on a fluke I really didn’t want it but my Love talked me into it said that it would work great, on it was this App called Threads I had never heard of it before so I clicked on it and began checking it out, something you might need to know about me im 58 years young you see and my Love is 26 years old we live together he didn’t know about Threads either when I asked him. lol I thought I was just old and outdated!! But as I’m reading through these wonderful bits and pieces of small posts people have put together I’m intrigued and excited and amazed by how articulate folks can be, the honesty and kindness and love and much more that I can’t even put into words you just have to see for oneself it’s fantastic and hard to put down. Good Job to whomever the creator of Threads is I LOVE IT AND ILL KEEP READING IT! Thanks it brought me out of my dark place, many happy returns Tammy BACA from the land of enchantment.Jumping jack flashingVersion: 313.0

It needs a loooooot of workI'm rooting for a Twitter replacement but threads it not it so far. The extreme connection to Instagram is really annoying. I want them to be separate, I don't want every change I make to have to reflect on both apps. I want separate usernames and pfps and I want it to not open Instagram every single time I want to change the smallest setting. It also desperately needs a "people you follow" timeline. It took only a few days for my ENTIRE feed to be absolutely zero people I follow and exclusively celebrities, brands, and influencers so until they implement a timeline change, the app is completely pointless and not really usable unless I want to spend several hours being nonstop advertised to. This could possibly work and take a lot of traffic away from Twitter as it descends into a bigoted trash heap but it needs an insane amount of work. Less hardcore connection to Instagram and better feeds. Otherwise it's just going to flounder for a while and eventually die as we all move back to Twitter or tumblr..GoghflowerVersion: 289

Will there be a larger version released for tablets soon?Threads is already a hugely better app than the dumpster fire that Twitter has become under the South African Blood Diamond heiress, space penis builder, and exploding car maker. It seems to operate smoothly, but there’s still a feeling of difficulty on how to post and repost like it is at instagram. I’m not sure if the hashtags are going to be as awkward either, as in more geared towards marketing than trending topics. This would all be easier to navigate if the app wasn’t showing up so small — basically smart phone size — on my tablet. I mean, I can just switch to my phone, but yeah it bugs me when the size won’t integrate smoothly to the size of the screen. Otherwise, it’s a good app, and will likely replace Twitter in my social media time. Hopefully the size of the app to screen ratio is figured out quickly. I’m happy they provided a functioning app that’s not forever in beta..Drumr98Version: 291

Going to take some getting used to but I like itWell I just downloaded this app and it’s a lot different than being just on Insta. Here is what I have noticed so far . Instead of tapping on the post to like it you have to tap the heart instead of double tapping the pic itself to like it which is fine ..no complaints. And to reply or post a comment on a picture or video then tap the post and post your comment. I also noticed that one post so far had a swear word but wasn’t a bit offended at all …Freedom Of Speech and Expression. So I do hope this continues as so many of our rights are being taken away by people that are trying to rewrite our American Constitution. All in all all I will say is this….ignore the negative reviews and read the positive ones about this app…if you want your full voice to be heard which is the way it should always be!.Dixie rebel 1970Version: 298.0

Better than “X”I finally caved and downloaded Threads and I actually like it a lot more than Twitter. Granted much of that is credited to the fact that the feed is fresh and not filled with promotional or suggested posts like on Twitter along with a tainted algorithm. Aside from that, I enjoy the playful details of the interface and how clean it is! While it might not last, I still like that right now it’s less populated than Twitter. The organization feels right, down to your own profile and even the settings. And the recording feature for posts is new and fun! As for my critiques, I wish it had a saving system like bookmarks on Twitter but with a way to organize them. I also think it would benefit to have a separate DM inbox from Instagram. Overall though, I’m really enjoying this platform so far and I hope they will add a few more quality of life features while still keeping it simple!.ChakramblesVersion: 309.0

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

THREADUhhhh yeah, I just Thread! Ermmmm jealous much! I bet you are. Don’t be surprised when my name is in lights. I would go as far as to say I’m the only person on threads tbh. Don’t worry thread like 50 times a day, so your feed will never be empty. I make the days of millions of people everyday. Let’s say if there were more people on the app, it would automatically make the app significantly worse. I use this app as an escape from my middle school bullies (I’m a teacher). Don’t worry I don’t THREAD about my bull all the time, that would get boring quickly, only 49 out of my 50 threads are about my bullies. TikTok doesn’t compare to threads because you can’t thread on TikTok. If you could, I might have to switch apps… NOT LOL, ermmmm that sounded better in my head. Just kidding I’m not a freaking mcu actor person, that’s below my status. Dost thou even threadth like I do, mmmm me thinks nope!.BassyLassyVersion: 309.0

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

Potential To Be The Greatest Social AppThis app is super smooth. I love everything about it. Would be dope to be able to DM friends on here. The day that happens, Threads will most likely become my 1st app choice. There's a few bugs I hope they crank out, but overall smooth. I would prefer seeing post of people I follow vs seeing a bunch of random checkmark folks & businesses I don't even follow talk nonsense. I'm trying to see what my friends are Threading, not a verified wendys account. The only other issue I have is the app keeps force quitting when I try to thread. I try to log out and even reset the app. I've updated the app & updated my iPhone, yet it keeps booting me out the app every single time I try to post a thread. Its super annoying. Makes me not want to open the app and thread when I inspiration to post something. Kills the motivation..Genius OfficialVersion: 289

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pretty solid, room for improvement though⭐️💕So far, i like threads. it’s pretty solid for now, it can be better. that being said, i do have some suggestions for the app developers to improve the app for users: CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER! only the ppl i follow and their activity should be in my timeline, not these other random users…put them on a separate page the separate page should be our home page with news, pop culture events, hashtags you follow, and the random users/suggested posts here pls give us hashtags! search by hashtags and words, not just users thumbs down for threads (dislike count not shown public) pls give us a gif library in the threads post area a drafts/save for later tab for threads following count put by the follower count too. why is it just one? show both or neither, pls pick one show list of likes + the option to keep it private saved/bookmarks tab (private) dms/private messages on here voice message for threads close friends thread list these changes would make a lot of people (including me) use the app a whole lot more and come back to give a higher review rating. we thank you for the hard work so far. and thx for listening!🩷.AMontenaiVersion: 289

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

A fine place to postI would just like a higher amount of people we could follow. 7500 is too little. And find a way to locate people you follow that don’t follow you. But it does work nicely over all. It is mostly friendly atmosphere. Just a few too many people only wanting others to watch them have sex or other things. But it is easy to unfollow them and block them. I have been on Threads almost the second week of it’s existence. But I have had a long time with a follow ban so my numbers are smaller than others with the same time and as active. Thus there are issues, but I keep posting. Again most are quite friendly there..JourneyledVersion: 309.0

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

App can beat twitter with a few QOL updatesFirstly a playback system, maybe if I double tap the right side of the screen it plays forward a few seconds and vise versa, a media only section to where we can only see videos and picture, ofc with the option of being able to pick which one we wanna see only which in fact twitter DOESNT have, and maybe also like a page that’s called stuff you like, that’s based off your follows and likes, like a for you page, but with a different name. Actually maybe it can be called THREADED I kinda like the sound of that honestly. Tho even if you didn’t add these things the app is already really good, I’m pretty you guys won’t F this up. GOOD JOB DEVELOPMENT TEAM.Dw13gaimngVersion: 289

The bugSo yea, the app was amazing cuz its exactly the same like Twitter and its obviously benefit us cuz we don’t have to create another account for this apps cuz we can just use Instagram, just the serious major problems that everyone may faced the same things as me, the apps seriously take up too much space, like compare to Twitter the, the megabytes is too small and the programmed works really well-the lossless compression really work for twitter, and another things that i would want to pointed out is that since the storage is limit for certain peoples and deleting the apps seriously devastating them cuz their account is getting deleted at the same time, its really devastating and upsetting me, i wish that by deleting the apps don’t cause their instagram account getting deleted, but overall im really enjoying the thread apps.F2_LiXVersion: 289

A great start, but...There are many things I love about this app 1. It's not a huge hive of right-wing idiots talking about how great their ideas are. This is unfortunately what Twitter has devolved into and why I left it. 2. The layout is very user friendly and feels smooth and intuitive. 3. Most interactions on the app result in learning something and not feeling like a complete IQ drain, which you can't say about Twitter. It feels like there is meaningful interactions, which gives the app itself purpose. However, there are several issues that need to be worked on for this app to be truly great, and here is what they could be in my opinion: 1. Set up a better search function so that it is easier to find topics and ongoing things that you are interested. 2. Make it easier to find people and topics that you are interested in by building on the integrated search functionality. 3. Although the "For you" section of the app is good, I think there needs to be a rework in what people can choose what they would like to see instead of just basing the content based off of what you like and follow already. So to sum it up, it is good and not great so far and has a long way to go to be truly awesome..WachawachaVersion: 296.0

Nice app, few comments.I like the feel of the app, but there is much more that can be done to beat twitter. I suggest a way to filter the threads, so that I can have more control over my feed. For instance, create something called needles that I can add or remove. The needles will segregate locations, so that I can know what is going on in my location, as well as around the world. This would also create marketing opportunities for businesses looking to connect with customers around them. So I believe the app needs a little bit more refinement, so that I can add and remove needles, as well as post under a needle, so people know what I am posting about. So my feed can contain information from needle and threads, I can filter out things I am more interested in..Yetunde25000Version: 289

Threads, an Instagram app Negative Reviews

Binding the two and inappropriateWhen I had threads at first. I was seeing so many things people were getting away with. Nasty talk, showing way to much of themselves and I genuinely thought things out. On Instagram, I can get flagged for the simplist infraction. And that’s leaving a positive comment that just may have the word, “gay” in it. Talking about it in a positive way. But no matter the context, comments are rejected because of “guidelines”. Switch over to threads and it’s a free for all. I was thinking of dropping all together my Instagram. I’ve never used such a hypocritical site in my life. To leave a comment on a post that someone is showing way to much skin, or even swearing like crazy in the post. But get my comment taken down because of guidelines. Then take down that persons post. As it’s content itself goes against guidelines. Hold the same standard for all or don’t use that at all. There is so much filth on instagram. A LOT! Threads to me is a step up on the nasty scale. I was hit on, sent nasty things. That’s the reason I uninstalled it. They’re all running free in there doing and saying whatever they want. No! Both platforms need cleaned up, both of them do. There’s no way you can tell me that you all don’t know about these accounts unless we report them. If you stop me from making a comment on them, then you have to stop them from posting their nasty posts based on said guidelines..Boomerzp71Version: 315.1

Poorly made appIf i could give it 0 stars I would. There are so many issues with this app. First of all, I couldn’t be logged into instagram and threads at the same time without getting automatically logged out of the other. The app in itself is poorly made, they made it so simple that it ended up not being user friendly. Forcing you to connect it to an instagram, keeping the same username,(some people enjoy privacy!), and impersonal timelines that are filled with unfunny verified accounts that are impossible to get rid of no matter how many you mute. You can’t even follow enough accounts you like to keep the stuff you don’t like off your timeline. Tried deactivating my threads account, not only will it not fully deactivate but you can’t remove the badge on your instagram no matter what you do, even though it tells you that you can. It just pops back up every time you restart the app or change tabs. I feel like i’m being forced to participate in something I no longer want to be a part of. This is such a terrible app I can barely put it into words. And to think that verified accounts had it before me and it still has all these issues is shocking. Very disappointing. Basically, if you like twitter, avoid this app. If you don’t like twitter, avoid this app. Even my LovenseRemote app is made better than threads..Pure HaterVersion: 289

Little to no actual pointUpdate: The only reason I returned to write a review is because Insta put a useless @ on my profile. -- Its like Twitter... only its called Threads. The problem is that I dont see what void its trying to fill, or what problem its trying to solve, other than being another Twitter "killer" that is going to solve all the perceived non existent problems of Twitter (Remember when everyone was all excited over the Facebook Killers known as either Google Plus or Diaspora?). I also don't really see how it heightens or enhances instagram, either. Instagram is for all intents well laid out despite the fact that you cant have a chronological feed that shows you everyone you follow (which it would be nice to scroll through my followers, and not my top interactions + whatever else instagram's algorithm tosses up). Btw, thanks for not allowing me to delete Threads unless I delete my Insta, there is simply no reason for that much tie-in. Regardless now I have a silly @ like symbol on my profile that redirects to a defunct threads link, so good job for useless features. Lastly, in regards to people complaining about toxicity on Twitter as a reason for this app to exist, I would suggest that Twitter is neither toxic or pure, but that most have no clue how go actually use it, as all algorithms are a result of what you, the user, put into it..Boe_dyeVersion: 319.0

Not really viable long termIf the best thing that can be said for Threads is it’s a “safe space” away from Twitter/X “toxicity”, one really needs to look inward rather than to an app to make one feel better or safer. After that there is the issue that Instagram and Threads cannot be logged in simultaneously, the early stage of development, it feels rushed out and not complete, just basic and simple. And more. Check other critical reviews, all valide points. Will it improve before daily user count falls off a cliff? 50/50. My bet is Meta will eventually throw in the towel as you never get a second chance at first impressions. The daily user count is rapidly trending downward in close proximity to introduction when it should be climbing upwards toward critical mass. Not a death knell, but a leading indicator of judgement by users. Meta should be increasing daily user count at this point, moving the needle in a positive direction. If there isn’t a community of sufficient size to not just maintain but grow daily users there will not be momentum to sustain it. You can either “Grow or Die”. There is no in-between, balancing on the head of pin. It’s going to take an enormous effort/change and differentiation to set Threads apart from alternatives just to turn the negative momentum around. Crystal balling today, Threads looks set to join the Metaverse in Metas portfolio..BijoubipVersion: 294.0

2 stars for poor user management and unexplained account limitationsLove the connections I have made so far, but currently not loving Meta’s policy. I am currently banned from posting on threads and Instagram as well as commenting. Meta/threads has given me no reason as to why. My account states it is in good standing and adheres to community standards. I have been told I might have replied too often or to to many people in a given time. I have been a threads user since day 1, and have never received a ban, and my use has been consistent. So I must ask, what is the point of a social media if I can’t reply to my friends on the content I post? Why are there no listed metrics by which we can adhere to? Having no guidance as to post/like/comment limits makes no sense if there is such a steep penalty (I have a 7 day ban). Im banned for a week for using the app as it was designed, and no response from threads or meta. I also notice that many of the reports I have made against anti-trans hate speech are unresolved for over a month. So those anti-trans accounts and comments are able to keep posting, while an active user who navigates within the bounds of the community standards is not allowed? This is odd and confusing and very Twitter like..Threads OGVersion: 311.0

Not bad for an alpha or beta productLots of people and conversations there now. Journalists there too. This review is about the iOS app. 1. The latest versions do not let me click on thumbnail links, and many people only post those. 2. If I manage to find a clickable link, it opens in a window that leaves a large chunk of my screen at the top unused. 3. The new edit function is great, but selecting and navigating text in the compose/edit window is hard. I also can't select an individual word or phrase in a post to copy it. I don't know why they can't be bothered to adapt the app to the iOS environment. 4. Without tags or lists, it's impossible to do more than randomly chat. 5. Their promised adaptation of the ActivityPub protocol seems to be low on their list of priorities. This is the most important thing for me. 6. Still no iPad version. Given the Instagram background, maybe that will never happen because those developers still haven't figured out that a lot of us prefer the iPad for photos, especially if our vision is imperfect. 7. Privacy nightmare, so no EU users..Mark StonemanVersion: 306.0

Toxic and miserable appThis app is so toxic and mentally draining to be on even for just a few minutes. It’s a knock-off of Twitter and since I dork have much experience with Twitter, I can’t say whether this app is worse or not, but I can’t say it’s very bad. I think the main problem with this app is that the algorithm promotes political posts and other posts about controversial subjects. It doesn’t seem to cater that portion of the algorithm to the user’s opinions based on what they like, dislike, and the kind of accounts they block. A lot of these posts reach the wrong audience, leading to hate and toxicity. In my opinion, a lot of the more controversial posts I saw the second I first opened the app were very stupid, misinformed, or extremist, and this goes for content promoting both sides of the political spectrum. Another big problem this app has is with bots. More specifically, there are an absurd amount of s*x bots and catfish. These types of accounts are usually linked to scams, yet the app literally promotes them as I saw countless amounts when I first started using the app. All in all, this is Twitter but with Facebook’s audience and YouTube’s bot problem..Lilly6037Version: 312.0

Wanted it to beat twitter.. falls shortI really wanted this app to beat twitter, so much so that I would be able to delete and let twitter go easily. Unfortunately, I can’t. Threads lacks the search engine that twitter has. I can look up anything and twitter will find the latest or most important tweets about it, media about it, people with related names… it’s great. Twitter even gets to know me, showing me the latest news, sport scores, or musical posts by artists and athletes or others that I may be interested in, and that’s just when I hit the search icon. Most importantly, the people I follow on Twitter ( for the most part… Maybe around 80%) show up in my feed. I have no idea what’s going on with Threads. I barely know 80% of the people that show up in my threads and wish I didn’t have to see their posts. I can’t search for ANYTHING on threads but other users… I’m surprised that this isn’t an option on Threads as it’s something I have long been able to do on Facebook. Hopefully they’ll fix this soon. Until then, I’m on Twitter…. Or X….SoundingonVersion: 305.0

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

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

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
