Purposefully restricting with no cause. I 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.

App Crashes when posting. I 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.

buggy and lacking important features. I 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.

Many Bugs. When 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.

Not really viable long term. If 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.

Hidden Words Not Staying Hidden. so 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!

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.

Overhyped unfinished app. App 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

Is good but can be better. Got 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

Looks Decent Works Horribly. This 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…

The app was great until it completely stopped working. I 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…

Enjoying the simplicity. So far I enjoy the simplicity of the app, which I understand most apps start off this way but I urge the developers to not start adding unnecessary features that make it feel and look like what Facebook, Instagram and Twitter has become. There are ads everywhere, there’s content I just do not care to see which causes me to miss the content of the people I actually follow. Also never Get rid of the free form writing features; tab or return button allowing us to create space between paragraphs, as well as the capability to write longer paragraphs. Simple and clean is the way to go in my opinion, I love to write and I love to read. I don’t mind a few videos or pictures here and there but I believe the main focus on threads should more text based content.

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.

good for a start. this app has an amazing feel , i really enjoy the layout it has , just generally how things are set up . but , there are many things i think should be added to updates further down the road . first off , theres no trending page . one of the things that was very useful to most people on twitter was the trending page , which is now replaced with a "who to follow" section , which shows up on your timeline as well . also , no dms !!! i get that its an instagram app , but i hate having to go back and forth between apps just to message someone . another issue i have is how you cannot set up and an account without having instagram , and how you cannot delete your threads account without deleting your instagram account . like i said , i understand that its connected , but itd feel a little more freeing , i guess , having the accounts be separate , or at LEAST being able to change your name/username without going into the instagram app . ALSOO , i hate how your timeline isnt , or is at least very hard to get , tailored to you . ive followed many , many people , and still get random people or celebrities ive never heard of popping up on my feed , with jokes or sayings i have no interest in . maybe its because the app is new , but i feel like a lot of other apps have adapted a lot quicker . despite these downsides though , i think the app is great . for what it has already , i havent noticed any actual issues with using it . no bugs or anything .

Threads. Threads can you bring a hand more safety feature for free users on Threads? there are more content on Threads. that are inappropriate. then i’ve been reporting to Threads and they’ve been taking it down 100% please bring a safety feature that can give more tools to prevent this on Threads in advance your system, More and your algorithm system to make it more better so your system will detect this before you even post it to take it down from the web from your Threads app 100% and build a more stronger algorithm system they’ll take the content down before upload or the second upload to Verify at the content is right to be in the system and Verify to make sure the continent is safe before it gets uploaded on the platform need to bring a more better system to verify Contant before it gets uploaded or if it gets uploaded and verifies in your system 100% so you can’t just post anything at verifies in the system 100% when it’s uploading to make sure it’s not inappropriate on Threads please bring this feature 100% for Threads and please bring sensitive content controls so it protects you if they’re sensitive content on Threads 100% to keep value users, safe on the platform 100% and bring more powerful trolls that Threads users can turn on free users to protect your account from inappropriate content 100%

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.

There’s potential. No 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.

Poorly made app. If 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.

New idea. So 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.

Terrible app. Can’t delete profile and is forever linked with IG. If 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.

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!!

Hope more is coming. I 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.

It needs a loooooot of work. I'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.

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.

Better Than Twitter. Threads, 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.

Pretty good so far. Like 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.

Promising so far, but needs a few tweaks. Downloaded yesterday and I’m enjoying it for what it is so far; sign-up was super easy since you can import all your data from Instagram, and I love how you can directly access other accounts’ Insta pages to follow them there too. My only issue is that the app feels a little bare-bones as of now. I understand it’s brand new and will be in the process of developing itself over time, but I’d love to see a bit more in terms of interface. The app feels a bit empty without a proper tagging system and it’s extremely hard for me to find new content and users to follow because my feed is mostly people I already follow on Instagram (plus random verified accounts and one or two new creators I find interest in). Please consider implementing a hashtag or keyword function for the Search bar (or maybe even an Explore page), and I’d probably find a lot more interest in the app! Overall, this is a pretty decent start and I’m interested to see where it goes next… and to have a place to post my 3 AM intrusive thoughts.

WE’RE ROOTING FOR YOU. Please don’t fumble this app. I’m not trying to see a bunch of random people w/ check marks on my timeline. Let me choose who and what I want to see. I don’t want to see ads and bots everywhere like on Facebook & Instagram 🙄. I’d like to see more UI changes, everything seems small. Not compressed but the font & profile pics, names and three dots to mute/block/report is kinda on the small side and very easy to misclick. Is there an algorithm? Will there be “based on what you like”? Will we be able to switch accounts like on Instagram just by double tapping the profile tab? Will we get a following tab, so we don’t have to weed through random threads? Will we be able to have muted & blocked accounts carry over to our Thread account? If I mute someone why am I still able to see their replies in others threads?

Wanted it to beat twitter.. falls short. I 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…

App can beat twitter with a few QOL updates. Firstly 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

GREAT APP!. This app is strangely addictive. i really like how close you are with your followers and mutuals, you really do get to choose what your feed is. if you want it to be news related, follow news accounts and regularly like the posts to make sure it’s in your algorithm and you’re all set. same goes with any other type of media you’re looking to see. features a lot of us would like to see: -a “follows you” indicator for your following tab so you can keep up on who is and isn’t following you back without having to check their account and list - maybe some more account personalization. many yearn for some myspace-like customization -slightly less restrictions on following people and liking/replying to threads - maybe a little bit more streamlined media player. idk if it’s just me but it’s clunky when i try to play videos and turn the sound on i end up having to reclick the video like 3 times those are just some ideas. other than that the app is really fun and a great alternative to twitter for those who don’t want right wing opinions being boosted over the majority of the users replies to every little thing.

Content is slow to load (sometimes 10-15 seconds) and the feed is uninteresting. The 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

Peaceful and elegant. A 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.

Clunky and lame. I 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.

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.

A Better Version Of Twitter But Also Needs Tweaking. I 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.

Might be good, but there are concerns. I’ve been hoping for something to replace Twitter and Facebook for awhile now (since Twitter was ruined and Facebook has been less and less personal for years) — so naturally Threads intrigued me. So far I’m cautiously optimistic, but it does bother me that it’s owned by Facebook/Instagram and the app is very minimal at the start. So we’ll see how it goes. My wife and I both downloaded Threads within 24 hours of each other. I’ve had a positive experience with it so far, but for some reason her account showed her some very questionable stuff (three posts in around thirty seconds of scrolling). I’m guessing this is because I follow more accounts so I don’t see posts from unfollowed accounts, but it could also be due to Instagram privacy/security settings since many of those sync over. My main concern at this point is with content visibility control. When someone I follow replies to someone I don’t, I should see a button to show the original post and not the full post by default. There should not be random posts on the feed, especially when they highlight risqué photos. Some people may like seeing unrelated posts, but there needs to be a simple control for seeing this or not. As it stands, my wife has deactivated her account already (less than ten minutes of use) and I may be following suit rather shortly. I understand it’s very new still, but this is important and needs to be addressed promptly for the sake of users and the platform.

Honest Review After 2 Days. The 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.

Good app but... The app in itself is ok. However, there needs to be a separate page for posts ONLY from people that I follow show up, none of that stupid algorithm recommending me some random accounts. There should be a sort of “explore” page for the algorithm to be implemented and suggest any content including from accounts I don’t follow and another page only for posts from those I follow. There should also be a mechanism to get rid of bots and spam accounts easily and quickly as I have already seen many bots under several posts. This is an issue that Twitter suffers pretty badly from and it looks like threads is going to as well. Allow gif replies too. Also should allow replies to be hidden from followers👍🏻

No Likes tab, no search feature, no bookmarks, no hashtags. The 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.

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.

Change the App Cover. Two things 1: Now that Twitter is X they have gone with a black and white themed app cover. Which is exactly the same as Threads but with an X instead of the threads logo. Which causes me to sometimes accidentally open X instead of threads. So if I had one wish it would be that the threads logo could change to maybe the background color being white and the threads logo being black. Or put Instagram colors in the threads character since it is technically an Instagram App. Anything to make it look different. 2: Maybe I am misunderstanding how this app is intended to work but if this apps purpose is to be a more stable Twitter then it’s missing a major feature. That feature is when you go to search you can only find other accounts. But on Reddit, X and even Instagram when I hit search it gives me tabs for accounts and other things including the latest feed from people who post anything with the # related to what I put in. Which is great when you are watching anything live because you can see other people talk about it. So if I had two wishes for this app this would be it.

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!🩷

Not bad for an alpha or beta product. Lots 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.

Twitter Copy…Done right?!. Hello, I am DPM DJ. I’d like to write a somewhat serious review on this app, so buckle in. First thing I notice when I go into the app is, “Hey. This looks a lot like Twitter. But…better?” Yes, it turns out that I have been enjoying this app more than Twitter and even Instagram to a certain extent due to the less toxic environment. Honestly, well done with that. This is the first time I’ve felt reasonably comfortable using a social media app. Second thing I notice…the absolute mess in my feed. Yes, I know that the app is fairly new, but my feed is looking kind of atrocious. Every time I refreshed my feed, hoping to see stuff from people I followed (which was probably around, if not over, 100 people) but was instead met with a crap ton of random people who had absolutely no affiliation with me or any of the people that I followed. That was kind of weird, but I decided not to mind that. Lastly, I decided to embrace the app’s less toxic environment, going around threads and seeing actual positive people and comments on each one. Long story short, this app is kind of like Twitter’s second chance or something, but made by a completely different social media company. Respect.

Potential To Be The Greatest Social App. This 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.

Going to take some getting used to but I like it. Well 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!

WORK IN PROGRESS but good. this 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 👍

Little to no actual point. 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.

the bug. so 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

Works fine. Not sure what other complaints are about about accounts not being eligible - I’ve never posted once on Insta, and Threads allowed me to join straight away 👍

A Shocking Disregard for Privacy. I had high hopes for the Threads app, but those were quickly squashed by its complete disregard for user privacy. It's alarming how much personal data it collects and shares without explicit permission. With vague privacy policies that barely scratch the surface of their actual data handling practices, it's clear that user privacy is an afterthought for Threads. If you value your digital privacy, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. The convenience of the app just isn't worth the privacy trade-off. 1/5 stars.

As a brand new app, it’s great. I am really hoping Instagram continues this momentum and truly creates a Twitter killer. I am absolutely loving the platform so far! It’ll get better with time. Don’t listen to the poor reviews. They are judging the app thinking it’s Twitter. It’s not there yet but it will get there

At least it isn’t owned by Mollusk. Quit Twitter when he bought it, downloaded this the moment it was clear it might upset him.

Disappointed!. I was so excited to try Threads after the woeful take over of Twitter and subsequent deletion of my twitter account. This excitement however immediately tuned sour when I discovered you can only log on using Instagram details. As i do not and will not have an Instagram account … sadly I have to say goodbye to Threads before I even start. Dissapointed!!

Underwhelming, spammy, and tedious. After reluctantly downloading the app and “opening” my account (via transferring my details from IG), I’ve regretted it and of course there is no way to delete my account without deleting my IG account. Only deactivation. Dodgy! What a scam. In addition, I can’t get ride of the influx of rubbish on my feed from so many people I don’t not follow. At least on IG I can stop suggested posts every 30 days. My feed is loaded with trivial, time wasting content. I deleted Twitter years ago, and would rather go back there right now than use Threads. Also, my notifications don’t load. I get a constant error despite having the most up to date app version. Over it is an understatement.

So far, it’s alright. Joined day 3 of the app and so far it’s enjoyable. I love that it mimics the mode you have your phone in (dark mode/light mode). However it is lacking accessibility in the way of captions. As a deaf person, I rely heavily on captions, so hoping that will be a feature added sooner rather than later, to have have the option of auto-generated captions available on videos like Facebook and Instagram have. I do like that muting and blocking are easy and quick to do, being able to remove any toxicity instantly has been great. Full sized photos and the photo carousel are also great, but it’d be nice if we could zoom in without it bouncing back immediately. I know it’s early days yet but this app shows promise.

I uninstalled it in less than a minute. I was hoping this would be a viable alternative to Twitter due to it being run into the ground by their current management. I start the app for the first time and find that you are required to have an Instagram account. No other alternatives. So I deleted the app.

A complete waste of time. So far, it has been a waste of time. I can’t work out how to make multiple accounts. I have 4 instagram accounts and I’ve only been able to make 1 thread account. No hashtags, no current treads and feels like an echo chamber. I’m hoping these bugs will be ironed out or they’ll go the way Parler and other did. Unimpressed so far.

Can’t log in. Do I have to install the instagram app first to be able to use this app? I do have an instagram account but just didn’t have the app installed on my iPad, and I downloaded this app and try to log in with instagram (because this was the only option given for logging in) and it pop me a message saying page isn’t available at the moment.

Can’t view app unless you link to Instagram. I’ve pretty much given up on Instagram due to all the bots . I hate Twitter as it’s a cesspool and nasty. Thought I’d try this only for the *only* way to have an account is to sign in with Instagram - no. Some of us don’t want all our accounts connected. After all, I wanted my fb and Instagram linked to cross promote but it wouldn’t let me as it says I’m not the owner - yet I’m the sole admin. So sadly I didn’t even get to try this one before deleting it

App completely buggy. Can’t view notifications, replies to posts or any user profiles including my own. I’ve contacted support multiple times but it’s been this way for a couple of weeks now. Initially really enjoyed the app but it’s unusable now and haven’t heard one word from support. Time to say goodbye unfortunately.

Unable to make posts or comments. So, I downloaded it yesterday, and when I tried to make a post the app just bitter me straight out and onto my phone home page, it does the same when I try to comment I've uninstalled the app a few times and downloaded it, but it does nothing at all

Let me default to Following. Search and hashtags. Have 100% replaced Twitter with this app, but just love to browse Following first and then For You, not the other way around.

Some suggestions :). It’s been a great app so far, but it will be better if the homepage is not full of random verified accounts and just be the actual accounts that i have chose to follow. 🫡

I got in easily. U guys just need to read it properly if u want to log in ur account from instagram

Nice app, but…. I don’t want to see post about people that I don’t follow and I don’t care about. You should do a feed only with the people that I follow.

Slow account changing. Please add a way for faster account changing like instagram has. + Instagram doesn’t directly link to threads like threads does to instagram.

Can’t be bothered. You can’t even sign up without an Instagram account. You can’t delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram account. You can’t even see what Threads is about or view it (or use it) on a computer or see content in the app without signing up. It’s just another avenue for billionaire Zuckerberg to make money from the drivel that people post. Not even bothering to sign up.

Threads badge on Instagram. I got this app about a month or so ago, I love it but I accidentally removed the badge from my home page on Instagram and currently there is no way to get it back and I would REALLY love for the manufacturers to come up with a way for the people who have removed the badge to recover it and have it back on their Instagram home page.

Stable, works. For a launch day product this has been solid as a rock. No issues whatsoever, you’d be fooled into thinking this platform had been around for years.

waste. twitter exists. you can dm people. you can comment on an IG post. app plagued by influencer, celeb, nsfw, corporation GARBAGE. my own stupidity to download if without looking at the info it uses. and let me guess, add the search history with your instagram DMs and maybe even listening into the worst moments of your life or grabbing some of your family's stuff (ooh are we foreshadowing the family drama and cheating! so commendable zuck!) - all that to give you the stupidest reel ever. i truly wish literal immortality on some people.

Far better than twitter. Great app with a lot of potential. Although not at the level of Twitter with its functions, the app doesn’t have the bots, ads or the negativity that Twitter put me off.

Better than Twitter. Honestly with the newest update this clears twitter now, great to see they are listening to user requests!

Read !. Everything’s going smooth and I know this is a very recent app that just came out but I reckon we should have an option that allows us to put back the threads badge back on our Instagram profile. I know it just says temporary and it’s there to advertise but it’ll be nice if you gave us and option to put it back whenever we want.

Sorry, something went wrong. “Sorry, something went wrong. Try again.” Error message appears in my Activity and when I try to view comments in others posts. My “Content is not available” - it has disappeared, where is all my content? Reporting an issue which doesn’t get resolved. Please address this.

Missing one thing. Have the ability to edit posts and then I’ll be completely sold on this app

Account. As a new platform, Threads is going through a very smooth launch, with users able to very easily migrate from their existing accounts with Meta’s Instagram. For those managing multiple accounts, there is not yet a smooth solution to account switching, though admittedly these are the minority. The search functions currently as a way to locate accounts, with Instagram (as well as it’s primary competitor, Twitter) still maintains better explore and trending feeds, as well as the capability to search by text content.

No issue at all. I have a long term Instagram account and had absolutely zero issues signing up. The look is refreshing and it’s nice not being bombarded with ads and hate messages.

Chaotic Twitter. Like many I’m searching for a short-form social media alternative, but in its current state Threads doesn’t cut it. The feed is full of posts by people I don’t follow and don’t care to read, and there’s no way to set any preferences around the display of content. This feels like a pre-beta release, perhaps it’ll be more usable in a year or so.

Who are all these randoms in my feed??. Apparently there is a way to restructure your feed so that it’s limited to the accounts you follow - please roll that out to everyone ASAP! I don’t see anyone I follow. Also needs to have a way to select “new threads” in the notifications section. I want to see new threads of the people I follow, not their replies to other threads I wasn’t involved in.

Loved this new platform. Please give this it’s freedom. Thank you for bringing this new platform, where I can be me. Just make it an independent application from Instagram. A lot of potential is lying behind it. Start a new trending option with threading.

Twitter but worse. Full of crypto scams, dribbling “self-made” egotists promoting dodgy products and services, thirst traps and bot accounts. I was hoping for an interesting alternative to other social media apps, or at least a new cat feed but this application is incredibly disappointing and it’s not worth an install in my personal opinion.

Please add multiple account access. Please add the same function you have for Facebook and instagram where you can toggle to different accounts. Have multiple accounts. Especially for personal and business accounts so we can keep it all relevant. Excited to see where Threads goes. Thanks

Good start, feature to be added. It’s a good start to a new conservational app. I am loving the no-ads and sync between Instagram. As I have two Instagram I frequently use (business and personal), I’d like an account switch feature. Would make life 10x easier!

It’s a good start. It’s just twitter. It’s clearly early days and there are features being implemented that it’s competitors have but it’s a good start. It’s reliance on instagram is a bonus and a negative - I can import all of my friends over if I want to and things like blocked users carry over but it also has the same type of users instagram has, which makes Threads a different vibe to its competitors

No followers feed. After logging in I am drowning in random posts with no way to tailor the feed to people and topics I’m interested in. Just a messy clutter of endless celebrity posts. Hard pass. Let me remove the threads badge from my Instagram profile. I don’t want that. Let me delete my threads profile without touching my Instagram. Won’t let me remove it from my Instagram profile so everyone thinks I have a threads account.

Feed skips to the top. I want the feed to be where I left it, so I can scroll through from where I was up to. But each time you come in it’s at the top so there is nowhere to scroll but down. Needs to be fixed.

A self-promotion engine for shallow trash. Doesn’t matter who you follow, you’ll be shown an endless roll of drivel. The combined thoughts, if you can call them that, of the most vacuous people on earth: instagram influencers. We don’t get a feed combining posts from the people you actually follow. Not even slightly. You get… whatever their algorithm is selling. As bad as Twitter’s algorithm became, it never stopped you from obtaining a feed of those you follow. With Threads, there’s no choice at all. It’s a savage reminder that you’re the product, not the customer. Threads is not worth anybody’s time. Deleted.

Easy to join. Pulled all my info from instagram in an instant and I’m off and running. Not sure what’s going on with the other sooks reviewing here.

Delayed Notifications. If you turn notifications on for an account you follow, the notification comes through delayed and unpredictably. For example, you get a notification saying an account made a post 2 minute ago, but then you check that post and it has been posted 3 days ago.

Needs a ‘following’ feed. Don’t really see the point of a social media app if you can’t even choose to see the posts of the people you follow. Shockingly some of us aren’t desperate for minute by minute updates from the minds of Kardashians. A desktop app is also sorely needed, and some interface features like following need to be turned into buttons on mobile so they are clearly tappable.

A whole heap of stuff. I feel like it’s just a whole bunch of features from every social media app in one. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

A great place to be part of a community. I mainly use Threads to keep up with news on Tech and to learn things from my peers. It’s been great to have a space like this again. Exceeds expectations!

Internet Issues. Ever since I installed this on my phone, my laptop’s internet connection has been dropping out whenever I plug my phone in to charge and am wondering if anyone else has had the same problem or something similar going on with their device

Mammoth Activewear Sustainable. Great app for my sustainable customers to see the character and community around what makes my brand special

Really enjoying this. Twitter is ruined. So I tried Tribel and may go back, but my feed was full of US stuff. So am having a go on Threads. This seems much more promising. I am finding my tribe of educators and political tragics, and having fun. Hope to see you here

Pretty good. Ngl I feel like it could get better(like all apps do as they progress with more people downloading although I can’t get my head over the name 🤣 overall I’ll keep looking around on it but yeah!

So easy to use. The poor reviews are clearly review bombing attempts by minions of Elon Musk. This app is extremely easy to sign up for and to use - it’s a game changer.

Need to improve. Would have been better if there’s an option to see followings, also maybe brighten up the buttons at the bar below.

Gay Twitter. Zuck Touches Children

Not Twitter. 5 stars because it’s not Xitter.

Can’t delete account. So you have to delete your IG account in order to delete this one. Such a dirty move META, specially for those who downloaded it just out of curiosity like myself and realized this is just another twitter. I will delete the app instead then

Should display full size on iPad.. Hard to believe that this ap won’t run full screen on iPad. ☹️

Epic app. Epic app

Extremely intrusive app. This sells all your data while asking for you to pay money

yikes. elon isn’t gonna like this

Yeah I can’t get into it. I’ve tried it twice can’t get into it. For one thing I don’t like seeing people I don’t follow on my timeline. And there’s no option to shut that off. I muted 20 profiles before I decided it’s not worth it. it’s a cheap knock off. Ill stick with twitter.

Just like Instagram👎🏻. Instagram use to be great ……… now like threads is full of garbage I don’t follow Seriously Mark this disappointed me so much. I’m tired of all the “suggestions and sponsored “ crap in my time line, it’s just like Instagram. All I want to see are the time lines of those I follow. NO suggestions and maybe one advertisement OCCASIONALLY ! Threads is full of crap just like Instagram that I didn’t sign up for ……….. as bad as Twitter is, it’s better than Threads

Cheaply made Twitter. What’s the purpose of this app? Feels like this was made out of a hackathon.

Useless?. I started off really loving this app. But then every time I logged on I was forced to scroll thru accounts and posts I had no interest in nor followed. There seems to be no way to just scroll the people and accounts you actually follow. I dunno, I was excited to leave that Elon Musk hellsite but Threads just seems to be dropping the ball. Billionaires, innit?

Pointless App. What’s the point on having this app when we already have Instagram?

Bad. Bad

cannot register. You have to have an ins account to login this app, and you are not allowed to create a new account, that is stupid

Missing features. No trending tab, no news. Just showing random irrelevant stuff. Disaster!!

💀. Bro just use twitter 😂😂

idk how to get it out of my bio. the badge number in my bio looks horrible. everytime i try to remove it by pressing remove it just comes right back when i refresh. fix this pls. i also think it’s silly that you have to delete ur whole instagram account in order to delete ur threads account.

GIVE THE BADGE BACK PLEASE. The app is fine. But I don’t understand why we can’t have the badge back after hiding it. Please let us unhide it on our profile. This is unfair! Imagine if someone accidentally hid it :(

Not being able to see only followers posts. Only problem I have is not being able to see feeds from only the people I follow

Login is broken. I got a link from IG to try Threads, downloaded it, installed and when I try to log in with my IG account it says “Try again later - we limit how often you can do certain things on Instagram to protect our community”. So yeah, it’s broken.

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.

Thread the needle. @dylan.698 for some crazy thoughts

Need Dark mode user experience. I keep my phone in dark mode which makes Threads unusable. Please work on a dark mode user experience

No e girls. No e girls

Digital id.

They will be able to control everything you do. Boycott and shut these company down!!

Very underwhelming.. But that’s what I expected from something made by Meta. The one and only feed is filled with blue checkmark posts, none of which I care to see. Very barebones and is basically just an excuse to create a competitor for other social apps without actually providing anything new or practical.

I liked it until it started only showing me people I don’t know. When I first signed up I could see all the people I follow on my feed, and then it refreshed and now it only shows me people I don’t know and don’t follow…

Garbage. This is just cheap version on twitter that nobody asked for other than zuck’s masters!

Need more features. Apart from the following tab, this app needs a feature to search posts, Trending and Interests section. Without these features, the app seems useless, with users with less followers feeling left out.

Don’t Download its A TRAP. Worst app ever! Gives you fake notifications so u check it and once u get it u cant delete it or else u need to delete instagram BEWAARE

Can’t search up topics. This looks like it has potential, but I can’t look up topics the same way I could with instagram or twitter. It’s pretty useless in its current state.

Copy of X. Why Mark zakerburg copy all social media platform just only to use facebook & its app. Every app has unique & holds its value. Facebook copy youtube , copy tik tok , copy snapchat , copy messenger app and so on. Mark Zakerburg just steal the user data and use them.

No iPad app… in 2023.. Like the Instagram app, still no support for iPad. Unacceptable.

So not necessary. We have X/ twitter. We don’t need a pointless clone.

Hate it😡. If you want to delete this you need to delete your instagram account ! It’s stupid.. Don’t like it!

Have no rights and can’t delete account. Learn your rights, stop giving apps your freedom and privacy

needs more features. things that need to be added asap: - separate “following” page & “for you” page - hashtags, people need to find similar stuff - search bar that also finds people’s posts, not just accounts - trending page - gifs

Amazing. Loving this battle, but I like it here more than the other side of the game

Needs more. Threads is a good idea, and a perfect competitor for Twitter (or X) but poorly executed. Lack of a chronological algorithm that defaults to new, and the insistence of acting like a For You page by default is what's dooming this app.

Already censored. Just out of the gate and already censoring basic stuff like what’s going on in France as just one example

Cute Concept, No Prayer. A Twitter clone by Facebook that's like Instagram but with text. What's the point? Oh and it collects even more data than spying helecopter parents do. Nah. Instantly deleted.

Worst copy of twitter. This app is twitter but made in a day by Greg

Twitter ripoff, government censor & data collector for the elite. The info they collect is scary and you should be very concerned what they are doing with your data! As we know Meta canjot be trusted and is a part of government spying and pushing misinformation and preventing free thought and free speech! 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. They don’t need this unless they are selling all your data and helping build a social credit score system. Wake up…. Meta is bad news for you and your children’s future!

Twitter is better. Bad layout this is going to die

Data Theft & Mining. This knockoff accesses ALL YOUR DATA ON AND OFF YOUR DEVICES 😱🤯

Where find followed?. Great app, but where can I find groups I follow to mange them?? And 80% of my feed is from things I dont follow, it's annoying.

Terrible. Cant delete without deleting IG. I would never have installed had I known I would have to delete IG to delete this crappy app. The layout is terrible, too. It’s just a poor copy of Twitter. Lame.

Should be called Firehose. This app is a firehose of irrelevant content. It pushes content completely unrelated to ones interests and accounts one is following. The UI is messy and childish, lacking the sophistication of other message based social media. There is no way to see only what one wants to see. Instead, Threads decides what content you see and most of it looks like marketing crap.

Can’t Delete Account In Isolation From Instagram. If you delete your Threads account … Instagram goes with it. Just saw this on the news right before I completed setting up my account.

Here first. We’ll see if this app is a flop or not lol

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Eh... I didn’t realize you couldn’t delete without deleting your instagram. Not cool. I would like it if it wasn’t just a bunch of influencers in my feed. Same with the other app. I follow people I want to see. I don’t need to see ONLY influencers. I don’t mind a few sprinkled in (I do enjoy their content), but it’s all that I see. I have real friends I follow on there and they are nowhere to be found. I deleted Twitter long ago, so I probably should’ve realized it would be the same to me. It’s just annoying seeing all the same influencers sharing their same content on every app. I miss seeing people I want to interact with. Most of them don’t even interact with us peasants…

A question... The app is nice. I like the replacement twitter. Its good for old twitter users and for those who never have to ever experience that app and its users which is amazing in so many more ways than one. I wonder why this feature was not added onto Instagram instead than a separate app though? Many of Instagram’s users will probably be hearing this app around and have probably been asking for the text post feature for a while now, such as a myself. I hope to see this app do well and maybe even as an addition to Instagram than its own separate thing. I would do anything for text posts on Instagram.

Leaves much to be desired..!. Threads is an interesting app with potential. It's sad how we can't add back the Threads badge to Instagram after removing it. We're also still missing basic features, such as the (1) tab to view only threads from those we follow, (2) ability to search up topics or we're interested in, and (3) privacy functions to hide those we follow and/or those that follow us. Other social media apps have these basic features! It'd be interesting to see more forum-like aspects incorporated on it. After all, forums and other discussion boards have Threads! I'm hoping topics will be organized and clearly presented (or easily found)..

still extremely underbaked. i got threads the first day it launched and now (october 20th, 2023) it feels exactly the same as it did at launch, which isn’t good. there are barely any features, the algorithm for showing you new threads is absolutely awful and never seems to make up it’s mind on what it thinks you want to see. there’s no DM feature built-in, no trending topics page, no real way to search for certain posts, photos, hashtags or anything! threads as it is now, is essentially an echo chamber of unfunny meme accounts, onlyfans ads, and branded content like starbucks and brands like those. even the “mute” function barely works, as i keep seeing my muted accounts pop back up on my feed. if you want threads to be great, we’re gonna need more than this.

my hot take/suggestions. so i love the idea of threads. it’s a cool form of self expression especially since twitter became a ghost town (no one uses it anymore). but some things are already annoying me. firstly, having random verified people on my feed and i don’t care about them. i think we should have an option to see public thoughts and separate our followers. kinda like how ig has a favorite section on posting. secondly, i think it would be so cool if threads were built into the actual instagram app. similar to reels, we could also make threads a part of our profile. it could be a separate section like reels have that people can see our thoughts and get to know how we think. i think having a separate app is kinda extra. i love it but not a lot of people are actually interested in downloading another app, where as on the actual ig, like the new notes feature, people would engage more. other than that, i love this new addition!

Eh, it’s okay, too much like Twitter. I’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.

It’s just too liberal. I try to stay away from politics, it just ruins everything. It seems every liberal has joined this app and all they do is spread hate and misinformation. Yet nothing gets flagged or taken down. However I see conservative posts flagged and taken down constantly. I just feel like apps like this get ruined by taking a certain political side, regardless if it’s left or right. This app has taken a complete turn for the left and is completely unapologetic about it. It would be just as poisonous if it took a turn for the right. I get that media and tech is sort of a left wing thing so I get the decision to go that way, but it’s a bad decision and unless you are very liberal this app is literally quite pointless.

Pretty good. Great solution to twitter, fun to scroll through people’s thoughts and news but it’s a new app and you can tell it’s missing features. I think with time it’ll be a fantastic app if it stays afloat. One thing I’d like to suggest is separate tabs to view threads from just people your following and a tab for explore/discovery/for you, also and edit feature would be useful instead of deleting posts if you misspell and one more quality of life feature would be double tapping posts to like it would tie it into instagram nicely. Overall I think it’s a great app and look forward to seeing how it evolves in the future🪡

A Moderation and Privacy Disaster. For the past several weeks, Instagram has been banning my 13 year-old account that I mostly use to read family members’ updates every 5-7 days. I send them the “proof of life” photo, they review my account and say “whoops our bad” and restore the account. Then a week later they make the same mistake. Rinse and repeat. Do you want to give access to a company that is that incompetent all your personal data? Scroll down to the description of what information this app collects about you. That’s not necessary to run a short posting service. It is necessary to run a business where they sell your data to other businesses. Meta/Facebook/Instagram shouldn’t be trusted to do anything in your best interest, and they know A LOT about you.

Better Than Twitter.. Right now all I can rate this app is 3 stars. It’s generally pretty good, the layout is great and it feels much less toxic than what it’s trying to replace which is always a plus. Unfortunately, there’s some issues that I can’t get past without docking points. There’s no direct messaging feature, that coupled with the need of an instagram account to use the app means that this is not a standalone app but more of an addition to Instagram. Also, the algorithm isn’t the best. It’s difficult to curate your feed to stuff you want to see, like specific topics, which is something some users are already leaving over. All in all, still better than Twitter.

An Unorganized, Jumbled Mess. Threads in its current iteration is a random collection of unsorted and unsortable conversations among people I don't know and mostly don't care to know. Why do I follow people or have followers? I cannot actually follow anyone unless I navigate (tediously) to their profile page and scroll down at threads they created or re-threaded. That is just too cumbersome to provide an enjoyable experience. For example, I welcomed a dozen or so folks that cover my favorite college teams. But, now that Threads has scale, I rarely ever see their posts, excuse me, threads. Oh, I can still find their comments - - - over on Twitter in my Sports List. Threads is like I am at a cocktail party, incognito, overhearing conversations and feeling like I just want to leave.

Great at Launch, but not perfect. Love the app already. The integration with instagram when creating your account is smart. Whole communities are finding each other. However, there are some caveats: 1. I can’t switch accounts easily like I can with Instagram. I operate a small business account and a creator account to boot and I have to hard log out of my personal account to switch. Please add switching functionality please! 2. GIPHY keyboard from iPhone does not work like it would on competitor apps 3. There is no chronological timeline or sort by feature. If there were buttons similar to Reddit or Twitter that lets you scroll between “new, hot, best, etc”, then it would make it fantastic to scroll through

Update🙏🏻. You should let us change the color of the icons and the letters and signs on the app, like our profile area, home, search, like, post, everywhere. One thing should be the Icon and the other should be the app, and also make different colors for everything so it can be more fun. And interesting. Also when is light mode make the options of colors different then dark mode, because if it is very bright strong yellow or any other color it will make you want to change it all the time, witch you don’t want to change it all the time

Keeps forcing garbage content into your feed. Threads does not respect your preferences as far as which tab is active. It will keep switching you back to the "For You" tab, which is mostly irrelevant garbage. More, they've basically hidden the button to show those tabs at all; you have to tap the Threads logo. This is completely unintuitive. I spent the first few days on here wondering why my feed was filled with trash content from people I wasn't following. Granted, this is a Meta product, so there's a certain lack of ethics one expects, but I still find it interesting that Threads would stoop to this kind of dark pattern, given that their main selling point is "this is a Twitter alternative" and forcing an algorithm on users is an absolute Twitter move.

its so silly goofy. Hey bbg, 5 stars. However, please make switching between more than one account a thing (so i can have my public and private threads) and make a follower and following list there so i can easily sort through who i want to follow and who i dont. Also, not sure if this is just a me problem, but i have to confirm follow requests even though my account is public. I'm assuming thats a bug and its VERY annoying because that means a lot of my followers cant see what i post. ty for reading my review <3

No search, really. I got on Threads quickly, but then didn’t return until a few weeks later. I wanted to see what people were saying about a particular news story, so I hit the search icon and typed in the surname of the person in the news. All I got was a bunch of Threads users I could follow — no search of posts. There’s seemingly no way to do that. Since I used Twitter mainly for news and now need to rebuild my feed (can’t access my old Following list anymore), this app is unfortunately pretty useless to me without a search that will help me find the content I’m looking for. Oh well, maybe in the future.

ONE FEATURE TWITTER HAS THAT YOU DON’T …. I know there are tons of updates coming but Twitter will show the ANNOYING “refresh feed” icon under the front camera, which when pressed sends you to the VERY TOP of your feed. Threads has the same. thing. Twitter at least allows you to close the app from your Home Screen, re open Twitter, and the icon is gone BUT you remain at the same place where you were previously scrolling. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow users to do this on BOTH Instagram and Threads. I see a post I’m about to repost, like, or reply to, and then my feed refreshes where I lose the post forever. It makes me not want to use the Threads app!!

Pretty amazing. I love that it connects to your instagram. The app works amazing for being new. Zero errors. That’s great. However, I want to bring up the bad more than the good. Things I don’t like is seeing people I follow respond to other threads. That should be a feature one can turn off. I just want a clean timeline of threads I follow. Also I think there should be an option to search for threads easily. For example, I would like to search threads on puppies. Right now I don’t really see an option like that.

Not actually a good app, ppl just hate twitter. Instagram clearly seems to be taking a shot at twitter here and i havent read one review that didnt mention how someone hated twitter or twitter was garbage now. so honest review WITHOUT BIAS; this is a fad and is going to fizzle out rather quickly, there is nothing special or unique about this app and it essentially seems to be just an extention of instagram with a much worse algorithm. The feed is not really tailored to you so much as its just whats popular. It connects fully with the meta ecosystem which causes privacy concerns for me; (id also like my accounts to be separate but connected for once). it seems like they released a beta version or something because this cant be a finished product

Needs lots of added stuff to be perfect. The app is decent a lot of the time so far but for it to be great i think it should distance itself a little bit from instagram, still have the option to link it with insta but not rely on it entirely. I really think there needs to be more user experience to it like asap, dm’s seeing your own likes, allowing people to follow without needing to accept a request when you have a public profile, SAVING POSTS‼️‼️etc I really want all these things to be added/fixed like yesterday haha- oh also make it easier for people who follow a lot of people at once to not be assumed as a spam bot please :) cant log into my account anymore bc of that

Great first version!. Ok so, i have been using threads for about 2 hours. I have found some good, but also some bad. I love how easy it is to use the app, I love the simplicity, and how easy it was to sign in, just directly using your Instagram account. However, if you’re like me, and you want to use a separate account for Threads, then you won’t love the first implementation of the app. You are stuck using your name and profile picture that you used for Instagram and the app seems to crash quite often and I would also love some features like DMs and a couple other things. I am super excited to use this app and see how it compares to Twitter!

Wayyyy better than twitter. Not sure if the warm fuzzy new platform feeling will last forever (or once meta finds a way to monetize with ads), but right now Threads is super fun and has been making me enjoy social media for the first time in a while. I appreciate threads’ moderate approach to moderation - add disclaimers to fake news / fake news posters while also not outright censoring people. Elon musk lovers are mad, but they really should just be worried since this will definitely kill twitter. The UI is slick and the features work so far. My one request would be to add a “close friends” posts features so that not all my insta friends following me on threads see EVERYTHING.

Data Stealing, Battery Draining, Surveillance App. At first glance this app seems like an amazing mobile application. I’ve always enjoyed Instagram and I’ve always enjoyed Twitter. However, once you install this app, you will realize that you can never delete your threads account. Unless you delete your Instagram account also. For some reason, Zuckerberg and the Instagram meta-team think it’s a good idea to grab all of your health data, political, affiliations, religious beliefs, and even your credit score. Now on top of that, if you install this app due to all of the data mining that it is stealing behind the scenes, this app will drain your battery faster than any app that I’ve ever seen. So a reminder, this app is like hotel, California you can thread in anytime you like, but you can never leave.

Frustration Galore. I can honestly say that the app is a nightmare. As an avid user who relies on platforms like this for news, updates, and connections, I am utterly disappointed. The app's performance has hit an all-time low. It lags, freezes, and crashes constantly, making it nearly impossible to have a smooth browsing experience. It's as if the developers took a promising app and intentionally wrecked it. And don't even get me started on the algorithm! The prioritization of irrelevant and repetitive content is mind-numbing. I followed accounts for a reason, but they are rarely shown, while suggestions that I have no interest in flood my feed. It's an infuriating waste of time. The app also bombards users with endless ads and sponsored content, effectively killing the authenticity and charm of the platform. This invasive approach feels greedy and reflects a lack of respect for users' time and attention. In conclusion, the app has become a breeding ground for frustration. Its glitches, algorithmic failures, lack of action against harassment, excessive ads, and poor UX have turned a once-promising platform into a colossal disappointment. Unless drastic improvements are made, I cannot recommend this app to anyone seeking a worthwhile social media experience.

Money before the users.. The app first appeared to be a well structured version of Twitter and I had high hopes for this app, until the moment I reached the home page. The main home page is filled with nothing but posts from people I don’t even follow. I understand these big companies need to make money and paid posts are a thing as much as we hate them. But the thing that’s most annoying is that we thought this would be an app for us IRL friends to connect with one another by allowing us to choose not to follow celebrities or big companies but yet we can’t get away from them and my friends posts are nowhere to be seen. Feels like just another big tech app putting money before the users.

terrible twitter ripoff. i downloaded threads to see what the hype was about. after scrolling through the feed for a few minutes, i decided i didn’t like it. the format of the app wasn’t very aesthetically pleasing. so, i tried to deactivate my account since i didn’t want it anymore. i clicked deactivate, several times, and it never would deactivate. so, i just decided to delete the app and forget about it. except… all of my notifications started coming through my instagram app?? AND my threads number was still in my profile. i clicked “hide” multiple times, but every single time i refresh my profile, it pops up again. the number on my profile is actually ugly and killing the aesthetics of my profile. it’s so big and in your face. no one cares what your thread number is. please let me delete my account.

It's aight. It's a new app so I'll give it some slack but whenever I go into my feed, it shows random people posting. Which isnt a problem, I couldn't care less but I'd prefer to see people I've followed first just like the actual Instagram. Leads me into my next point, I can't seem to comment or post threads. It's literally the main purpose of this app too. I've tried uninstalling it and redownloading it and refreshing my feed. Nothing works, it just keeps kicking me out everytime I try to post something. Could be something I'm only experiencing, and it's not that big of a deal because I don't post much anyways. Overall, its still a new app so I'm hoping these bugs will get fixed soon.

Great UI, garbage feed. The UI is constrained, thoughtful and masterfully engineered — a world-class product. Only upstaged by a relentless stream of the trashiest influencers who have ever roamed this scorched earth. There’s no escaping the Kardashian wannabes breaking news regurgitaters, as they fill my feed with garbage I never asked for. Why oh why would you treat such a well designed app with such disrespect? Oh, I know. Because the name of the game is maximum attention. It’s only a matter of time before the ads are interleaved between the celebrity trash talk. Then the only step left is to optimize the algorithm to maximize fear and anxiety to increase stickiness. Oh Meta, it’s so so clear where you’re taking us and it’s so disappointing.

Waste of time. Threads is the single greatest waste of time I ever came across. 98% of my feed filled with posts from users I don't even follow. People I follow aren't engaging with those posts either. Just feels like spam. I have spent more time reporting posts like this as spam, bc they're clogging up my feed. IG is already an established distraction where we are trying to keep up w our friend's businesses and shenanigans. Threads feels like a desperate outlet for incredibly bored people. Otherwise, is it just another app collecting user activity to feed a server with data? please add a setting to limit people's posts that are just trying to go viral, excluding certain keywords (like"Elon" 🙄) and maybe you won't lose some users

Heading in a good direction. I like where this is going but a lot of things need to change before I use this consistently. Please make a section that consists only of the posts by the people I’m following! I’m tired of seeing random people on my feed, so I don’t use this app very much for that reason. Secondly, please add drafts. That one just seems like a no brainer to me. Thirdly, a trending page/trending hashtags would be great. Since you’re clearly taking a page out of Twitter’s playbook, why not add the good parts of Twitter? Also, this is just a thought, but I would really love a section similar to Facebook Groups on Twitter. Spaces where fandoms can interact just within their enclosed group. Thank you! Hoping to see this app improve in the future!

promising concept, terrible execution. i was excited to install this app as a user of mastodon, instagram, and just about every social media site under the sun these days. excitement turned into frustration really quickly. good on meta for using activitypub so you can follow anyone across the web and the fediverse. i was excited since i could see what my friends i know irl post since they mainly only use instagram and this entire site is based around instagram. it let me follow everyone i knew on instagram quickly, cool! it even told me about the fediverse integration coming up. then, the real fun began. the home feed was filled with absolutely nobody i follow (even after importing my follows and followers from instagram) and shows a lot of content that really shouldn’t be allowed on here. there’s basically no hashtag support, and the app is buggy. constant crashing, forced autoplay, algorithmic feed with basically no one you follow or any interests of yours. the fediverse integration isn’t even available at launch. it’s all verified accounts on the homepage and no real connections with genuine users. never before have i used an app this buggy and unfinished besides maybe fallout 76 and that’s saying something.

Great Potential!!. I’ve been using the app for a week now, and so far, I am liking it! The profile resembles it’s grahams old profile format. There aren’t a lot of features like it has on Instagram or other apps. where you could save drafts and schedule posts. I like how I’m able to connect with my Instagram followers through Threads, but you aren’t able to see who is mutually following you, or who follows you back. The overall layout of the time line is quite minimalistic, and reminds me of Tumblr in a way, so I eased into the format. I also wish we could change our usernames and names? I don’t want it to be just a copy paste from my Instagram. The switch account feature logs you out which is annoying. Overall, not bad!

Better than others but not great. First impressions were that Threads was a much nicer experience than other social media platforms however as time went on (24 hours) my feed started to become inundated with crypto scams, nudity and racist content. Expecting this to be dealt with, I flagged to the content moderation team only to be told that this sort of thing (hard R, crypto scams) were not against the rules and would not be removed. If this is the policy then I’m afraid the site will quickly become just as toxic as the others. Such a shame as it has such potential. I wish them all the best but if there is no rule against hate speech, nudity or scams, it’s not something I want to be a part of.

So far so good. Threads suns smoothly, is simple, and really easy to use. Best of all, it’s not bogged down with bad algorithms that bury the content I want under ads and promoted content! Let’s hope meta keeps it that way. So far this has been, for me, more enjoyable to use than instagram. I’ve never used twitter so I can’t say, but there’s gotta be a reason I’ve never bothered. Please don’t mess this up, Mark, don’t ruin this for us. Keep it pure. Keep it for the people, not the investors. Let the other ad-laden social media apps carry this one financially. We desperately need a USEFUL social media app, and this has the potential to do it!

Great start!. More features are requested, for sure, including the ability to filter posts (or threads, I should say), perhaps the ability to quickly switch between accounts (especially if you have more than one), and maybe the ability to send private messages (or rather, DMs), just to name a few. But overall, it’s a nice, clean app, easy-to-use, and hopefully will live up to be the “killer app” that everyone is expecting it to be (you know, compared to that other one with the blue bird)!

Close—amazing potential for a hybrid app!. My main problem with the layout of this app is the same as my problem with Twitter—the wayyy to unorganized, you can’t find what you’re looking for. Right now your profile has 2 tabs, a main one and a replies one. I’d love it if there were 3 tabs instead of two: • Chat (text posts) • Gallery (Videos and photos) • Social (Replies, quotes, reposts). — Then you can also add search filters to find posts that fall under one of those three tabs, instead of just searching accounts. This way you can’t neatly organize the blog aspect, the social aspect, and the artistic aspect! In my opinion this would make it MUCH more user friendly. That way when I want to look at my favorite artists work, I don’t have to scroll through hours of ended conversions or reposts. If I’m looking for a topic to talk about, I don’t have to scroll through pictures to do it. It would also mean I could quote and repost other people’s stuff more without worrying about burying my own work/making my page impossible to navigate. Other than that it’s looking pretty good so far!

In theory good, in practice not so much. When I first installed it, it was fine, did what it’s supposed to. After a couple days, I couldn’t view any replies to posts, any posts of a (public) user, it was basically worthless. Keep getting “Something went wrong, try again” error or “Content not available”. Tried all solutions but none worked, so I had to delete the app. Hopefully a future release will fix this problem because I really want to use it. I also was bothered that upon installation, many of my Instagram followers “requested” a follow (which is an automatic thing upon install?). It would be nice to differentiate who actually clicked a follow button, and who did the automatic follow request.

Cheap Twitter Copy. I kept on hearing about this app, so I finally gave it a try. I’m not sure what it is, but something about it feels fake, as in too nice, too forced, too polite, too many rules. I like the raw style of Twitter much better, you’re free to express yourself without so many restrictions. I also don’t see much action going on, maybe because the app is too new. Personally, I don’t see a point to use it when I already have Twitter and Instagram. I can see how it can appeal to some people, because you get more of the fake celebrities on here than you do on Twitter, which are usually the most popular, but to each their own. I’ll be deleting the app, since I hear that if I close the account, I also lose my Instagram account, which I’ve had for years. What a terrible decision to link both apps that way.

Day Two on Threads. So, I tried to log back into Threads with my Instagram account for the second day just now, and I have been receiving an error message that would tell me to “please wait a few minutes” before I try again. I believe that it must have something to do with me logging in so many times with my Instagram account every time I opened the app yesterday. With that said, I was wondering if you’ll add a feature on there that would allow me to remain signed in to Threads without me having to log in with my Instagram account every time I open the app? Please let me know and fix this issue ASAP.🙏🏻

Expect to be suspended if they don’t like your posts. I made a parody account on Thread and within a couple hours it was suspended even though it clearly (in bio and user name) was not the person it was parody of. Their “appeals” process only allowed for me to confirm a password and phone number. You cannot actually appeal, or fix whatever they determined was a violation in the first place. One I submitted my “appeal” (only phone number and password) within seconds they somehow were able to determine the ban was worthy of being permanent. Another gem of an app from the Zuckerberg farm. Further they’ll appeal all your accounts associated w your phone number (across meta/Facebook, Instagram, etc too) even if those did not violate any rules. Do not trust them with your data and use at your own risk!

A few things. 1. Adjustable Text Size: Provide users with the option to modify the size of the text within the application’s interface, allowing for customization based on individual preferences. 2. Profile Photo Zoom: Implement functionality that enables users to click on a profile photo, triggering a larger view of the image for better visibility and detail. 3. Dim Mode: Introduce a dark blue-themed dim mode within the application, offering an alternative visual style that is less intense than the typical night black mode. 4. Hashtags: Incorporate support for hashtags, enabling users to add and search for specific topics or themes by utilizing relevant hashtags within the application. 5. Following-Only Feed: Create a separate feed within the application that exclusively displays content from users that the current user follows, providing a personalized and tailored experience. 6. Trending Page: Implement a dedicated page that showcases trending topics, hashtags, or popular content within the application, allowing users to stay informed about popular discussions and current trends.

Not quite ready. It’s a good alternative to the bird app, but it needs far more work: Search: Have it search users or keywords. Right now it’s just users. Instagram integration: apparently “follow all” would follow all those I follow on Instagram when they sign up. That hasn’t always been the case and now I’m having to manually go through those I follow on Instagram and find them in Threads and follow them again. They’re also not automatically following me for the same reason. They have to manually find me. Feed: I don’t mind the curated feed, but allow us to have just those we follow in a separate feed, or allow us to create custom feeds (like Lists on the bird app). Data: what exactly is “sensitive data”?

DRAFTS PLEASE. Overall I think the app is pretty good for it being just released but as of now the only thing i can think of that would make it a lot better for me personally is a section for threads you don’t want to post yet or just want to keep to yourself— essentially drafts. There have been many threads i have wanted to draft just to keep them for myself but can’t because the app simply doesn’t have that feature as of now, but i hope that as the app develops and updates more that we will have it in the future along with many other things

pretty decent. has potential!. as the tittle says, pretty decent & has potential! but personally, as i’m sure others would agree too (i also know you’re still developing/tweaking) but i would love my home feed/timeline to consist of ONLY the people i follow. i’d like a separate explore tab with all the random ppl (the home page you currently have) would be nice! i would love to pick & choose when i get to see random people i don’t follow because my home page just feels like spam/junk mail with zero access to content i actually care about. also, would love to see a, who i’m following tab as well. thanks!

shows promise. i’ve been looking for a way out of twitter for a while because the platform has been turned into a worse place than it already was. but there’s no real alternative to twitter. until threads. it has the backing of Meta, it doesn’t have a “buy verification here” button, and the oligarchical billionaire that controls it mostly keeps to himself. the platform is still in its early stages and is missing many vital features you’d usually see in a social media platform, but i have hope for the future. sadly for NSFW creators, they’re stuck on twitter.

After reading reviews and …. I’ve been on Facebook and Instagram since their conceptions so I decided to Wu’s on setting up a Threads account especially after reading the first dozen reviews. After the 2016 presidential election with all the misinformation peddled by Facebook I stepped back from any Mark Z. Apps. I don’t see him as a true humanitarian but rather self enriching like the fake president with the same self enrichment evils he helped get elected. Z has set America back decades in mho as I’ve never seen so much hate and sheer ignorance in society today than in the 12 potus’s I’ve lived through to date. Sorry Z but I don’t trust you. With that said, I won’t be adding Threads to my now limited Facebook and Instagram usage.

Needs some quality of life updates.. While the app seems like a good start, it seems to be missing a lot of important features. The most obvious and important is the search function. It lacks any ability to search tags, key words, or really anything but usernames. This means I can’t doom scroll, and it means I don’t spend as much time on the app. The search lack of a search function really limits movement around the platform. Other than that it lacks other basic functions such as chats, seeing your liked, and saving posts. I’m sure there are more flaws or even new innovative ways to make this seem less like a Twitter 2.0. I will continue to use this app because duh, but I’m hoping it gets a little fixed up

Not working. I so badly want to leave Twitter forever but, aside from the fact that there are some glaring holes that seem likely to be addressed/fixed, this app has stopped working for me. The Activity area won’t load. Just says “Sorry, something went wrong. Try again”. Also, same thing happens when I click the profile button. Can’t see my threads or replies. Says the same thing here. Lastly, I cannot see replies on threads other than the ones that appear in the main feed. When I click on a thread, it says the same thing yet again (“Sorry, something went wrong. Try again”) where I would be able to see replies, etc. Lastly, I get the same error message when I try to post a thread. So frustrating!!! I’ve tried logging out/in again, deleting the app, restarting my iPhone, and nothing works. Please help?

Possible improvements. Good start but could be fleshed out a little more. I really hope they make it easy for you to switch between accounts like Instagram does so you don’t have to log out and log in every time. It’s also easy to switch apps from threads to Instagram but not visa-versa. Threads has an Instagram logo top right to switch easily but to switch from Instagram to threads there is no such shortcut. I would also like to possibly see a your all caught up divider so you don’t mindlessly scroll the threads you seen before.

Twitter clone without purpose. This app was made simply to compete with Elon Musk’s “X” or Twitter platform, which is great. Competition is necessary for businesses to get better. However it lacks purpose and offers nothing new or even on the same level as Twitter features, while also attempting to find a place in a very established way of communicating on the internet. It brings Twitter back to its basic form which it has long surpassed and expects to compete with a further evolving community. If any major company were to create a Facebook clone to compete for example, without a doubt it would receive large numbers and an influx of initial users but aside from the newly sprung app loyalists, they will always return to the established platform that they and everyone else has always been using.
