only some videos can be muted, and that is never an option if you're playing music from an app that you pay for. I have some other issues as far as how complicated the navigation of the mobile app is. two stars for variety of content. I left a bad review and suddenly nothing wants to load even though my signal strength, both wifi and mobile data, are perfectly adequate. Suspicious.

It was fine while I had access. Someone hacked in and changed my email address. I reported it, and I never got a response. Update: the account was "recovered". All my friends were deleted and all that was left was my one profile picture. Now everytime I open the app, I get an error message and the app doesn't work. UNINSTALLED. It's not like they provide any useful services.

Video watching is broken as hell, and it's been like this for years. Multiple videos play at the same time, ads are way way louder than the rest of the video, and ads get stuck and keep you from watching the video (after you watch the ad, of course). It claims that you have a new message at the top corner all of the time, even if you already read the message. The algorithm is also intentionally showing you content that it knows you don't want to see.

For an app that's supposed to keep you in the loop with friends and family, it does a really bad job at it. 90% of my feed is ad and suggested content. If I scroll through 20 posts, only a handful are from my friends. I don't even see half the content they post. Not to mention the notifications are useless. Why am I getting a notification about a post made 3-4 DAYS ago?? I have a few dozen friends that I'd like to keep up to date with, but this app makes that almost impossible. Waste of time.

The notifications tab rarely loads. Notifications are also usually out of order and will switch order before your eyes with no apparent organizing logic. The top bar isn't visible unless I scroll down and back up. The "Most Relevant" feature for comments makes it near impossible to see a long conversation on a busy thread because there's no way to switch to "All comments" without losing your place. Help features are a joke. I could write pages on how this app has become over the past 5 years.

At the bare minimum, it's a site that lets you have people on your friends list. Beyond that, it's largely unusable. 8 out of every 10 posts is an ad or a group you don't follow and didn't ask to see. The app's UI is wonky and sometimes doesn't let you see notifications. The site is flooded with AI posts by bot accounts that exist only to make money for the account farm makers. The site (and all meta apps) seemingly killed of TikTok in the US to turn their platforms into it. Hard pass.
