X

I don’t know what else you would want from a social media app. If you want entertainment you could find it, if you want knowledge on a business or company you may want to start you could find it, if you just want to kill time you could just go on and scroll. I think it’s my favorite social media app and it is very diverse from young to old people from people with all different intrests and hobbies educating each other on cool or interesting topics also unlike other apps it is not just a brain rot for low attention spans and it does not hurt anyone who wants to go on as long as you don’t look at the wrong stuff. That is also why X is great is it gives you a freedom to post whatever and look at whatever so if you don’t like what you see you could only blame yourself since that is what you have been looking and the algorithm is perfect if I look at something once it gives it to me maybe once more if I look up knicks game score I will get more updates on the score to knicks games and other NBA games.

Twitter was already not that great, but it feels as if it has gotten worse over the last few months. All you see now are far-right extremist talking heads, Elon’s sycophants, or the most annoying scam bots for t-shirts, porn, and crypto. Elon says this is the “digital town square”, but honestly he’s just constantly propping up known racists, conspiracy theorists, and maniacs. Now that these creators can be paid based on comment counts, ads etc we’re seeing these creators up the ante in just how insane their posts are getting in order to cause further reach. I went from using this app regularly to maybe checking once a week and have been playing with the idea of just deleting my account in general. Changed the name to X which is just stupid, changed the API policy which makes 3rd party apps totally useless, and anyone who knew what they were doing either quit or was fired. Paying for the app feels pointless as it honestly doesn’t do anything for you other than you have a check mark, which you can hide btw because they realized people were getting laughed at for subscribing to Twitter. The alleged benefits aren’t worth the money. Editing can only be done within a specific window after posting the tweet, and you get 2FA through text. All in all it just isn’t a very engaging or interesting app unless you feel like laughing at goofy people, and even then it gets old quickly.

I have had Twitter since 2008. Longer than I’ve been an Apple user. It has gone downhill. Elon‘s politics aside. The app is far less stable than it used to be. I often have to refresh three or four times to see my notifications. I now need to pay or download a third-party app in order to use two factor authentication that I had been using for years and years. The advertisements have gotten steadily scam here and scummier. Worst of all from a user perspective the content is worse. Not only is there a constant flood of bot interactions, but favoring “verified” users means that every tweet you care about has 15 to 20 unrelated replies from bots that pay the $15 a month to try and chase down either more traffic or direct payouts. It’s like the algorithm has been completely reworked to favor, low value, engagement farming. I’ll see a tweet about some thing I care about like some Geo political event happening and then underneath it I’ll look and there will be 25 replies and 20 of them will be videos of cute animals or pictures of scantily clad girls, or stock trading advice. Then there will be a few responses to the tweet that actually matter scattered into the bottom. And finally Twitter, we’ll stop serving responses and show me tweets “that might interest you” and it will be more of the same completely unrelated content.

There is almost a complete lack of unbiased and timely news and information once so plentiful and reliable on the previous platform. What once was a vast array of diverse subjects and topics both interesting and informative is now nothing but a political party battleground of anger and angst, where actual discussion, debate, and dialogue has been reduced to name calling, trash talking, and one upmanship . Vital and functional features of the app have been removed and/or replaced with useless non-social-media pay for/pay wall related garbage extensions, verification schemes, etc and subscription schemes designed to monetize the platform. Algorithm for X is highly slanted towards the right-wing MAGA agenda. Reporting of (what are we supposed to call them now) posts no longer includes the ability to report political attacks or blatantly misleading information/ lies. Most reports for vile posts/comments go unanswered. Lots of hate speech allowed/condoned under the guise of “free speech”. Even the owner of the company participates in posting/reposting vile content. Appeals for wrongfully reported posts go unanswered for months. This leaves no other recourse other than users must accept the strike to regain access/remove restrictions and it appears that the appeal is totally dropped at that point leaving a permanent strike on the user’s profile.

Twitter has always been a great app for keeping up with sports, events, and people you’re interested in. It’s technically still that nowadays, but the experience has worsened so much ever since Twitter became X. More specifically, ever since you could pay $8 to boost your account and take over the top spots of replies. Spam is more visible than ever because of this, ads are everywhere whether you pay for premium or not, and there’s huge privacy concerns regarding new implementations like calls. I still use this app because I can still do what I always wanted: keep up with my interests. I can do the same on Reddit and Meta platforms in some cases, but Twitter serves a purpose in my routine of this. It’s not a free speech platform and there is a bunch of misinformation that is spread here (but that’s nothing new). Elon had some interesting ideas but the approach with everything has been disastrous and disappointing. I can no longer properly recommend this service to anyone. It’s full of spam, ads, misinformation, and bots. Not to mention that if there’s ever a case of you being harassed or if you see any other form of rule breaking, support will do nothing to assist you even if you pay for premium. That subscription isn’t worth it and this platform is not worth your time.

My account is still suspended for no reason. Been suspended since March. Keep sending multiple appeals and followed on how to un suspended my account that shows on the website for my account to be active again. No resolution and after sending the appeals kept saying will notify by email for more info no email but a notification from Twitter app. Apparently the reason was that I have broken the Twitter rules. I haven’t broken any Twitter rules I read what determines the Twitter rules. Twitter says under review of my account it was suspended but can see my profile and activity that I didn’t harass anyone nor made inappropriate content nor comments. I can’t even access my previous posts for evidence if needed. I don’t know why my previous posts aren’t accessible I saw them before. There’s no Spam accounts under my account. I also asked for proof on Twitter Inc based on this decision. I want this to be escalated because I didn’t do anything wrong. I have been very patient and kept appealing for a resolution. The only notification I got from my email was that how was the customer service in June. I gave it a bad review due to not getting the required proof nor assistance of activating my account multiple times. I want my account to be active asap.

“Oops something went wrong. Please try again later,” is the typical response you get when trying to resolve an issue. Twitter’s arbitrary software allows some users to abuse others with impunity, while innocuous posts or singular instances of merely “liking” a post may get you suspended. When you try to resolve the issue, good luck. You will rarely get a human to look at your issue, only an endless circle of useless articles and login tasks which may be impossible if you run both a business account and a private account. The “appeal” option is little more than a memory hole from which you will never get a response, or sometimes an automatically generated instant denial. Twitter does little to control spam or bots. It will disable an account but still send you email notifications linking to it, yet not permit you to login simply to unsubscribe. Deleting arbitrarily suspended accounts is nearly impossible. The user-generated content is poorly and capriciously monitored, often laden with the worst sentiments and epithets so-called humanity has to offer. If you anger someone by promoting human rights or legal reform in the wrong country, you will be locked/suspended without warning. It is a time-wasting garbage app run by those who profit from toxicity and spit on the very ‘rules’ they comically established.

Twitter as an iOS app has had continued issues since the change of ownership. This ranges from UI to UX experiences. The most egregious of which are notifications within the app that do no reference actual accurate information. An example would be the horribly implemented and terribly unoptimized Community Notes. Where your rating says one thing but your profile says another. You will be suggested and recommended to begin writing notes but when you attempt to you will then be informed that your rating displayed is not the same rating internally which prevents you from writing notes. This notification error has existed for months now and has been reported by me for months. Twitter support seems to not understand what the screenshots or screen recordings indicate or are willfully ignorant. This previous issue extends to Twitter Blue implementation where you will see in the notifications tab that you have been approved however this does not reflect accurately to your account for upwards of 1 week or more. Against Twitter support does not seem to understand screenshots or screen recordings of this being shown/demonstrated or are willfully ignorant. All messages to support or confusingly misunderstood or outright ignored going unread.

I am sick of this app. Since Twitter was bought out, the app and the general community on it has gotten worse and worse. I keep trying to tailor the app to show me things I’m actually interested in and it doesn’t seem to matter what I do. I have multiple eating disorder related terms muted because I’m in recovery, yet I keep being shown “thinspo” and having dangerous behaviors like taking hard drugs to lose weight promoted to me. I never even looked for this content in the first place, so why is it all over my For You page? I’m constantly being promoted scams through ads because Elon scared off big advertisers. Load times for videos has somehow gotten worse. Autoplay on videos just shows me weirdly disturbing and unrelated garbage. Helpful features keep getting removed without warning. I love that I have to go to someone’s profile to block them now so the algorithm thinks I want to see MORE hate speech, spam, eating disorder posts, ect. I genuinely don’t have a positive thing to say about this site. I don’t understand how Twitter can crash and burn so hard within the span of 2 years. It takes a real genius to take a social media platform that was already struggling to turn a profit and completely ruining everything remotely enjoyable about it.

I truly don’t know what will get you banned on Twitter, I’m not calling it X. I reported posts for holocaust denial, people actively calling for genocide, hate speech, the works, I get responses 2 weeks late “___ hasn’t broken our safety policies”. I don’t care about your “Twitter hot takes” or whatever but I really don’t see how allowing flagrantly heinous content on the platform is conducive to a sight anyone wants to be on. Problem 2, the algorithm. I can not go 15 minutes on Twitter without seeing something that would be banned on any other platform on the App Store, I can’t go 2 minutes without seeing content from some of the worst people in politics. Why, why oh god, is Marjorie Taylor Greene on my feed??? I don’t like Majorie Taylor Greene, me liking a reply to her post calling her out on her stupidity is not me indicating I want to see more of her content. Twitter cares 0 for the user experience, for making a balanced platform, for protecting users from some of the vilest content you can imagine. Twitter cares for one thing: engagement. They want you on there so they can show you ads that look like posts so Elon can pour even a little money into the money pit he’s acquired. Don’t give it to him, you attention and engagement is valuable, I’m begging you, take it elsewhere.

This app used to be a staple for news and content. Unfortunately it’s now a hardcore censorship engine that evolved the app into a propaganda machine for specific political points of view pushed by Twitter Corporate Office. They’ve watered down the Timeline, show popular recommended Tweets instead of Latest Tweets, they have partisan Trending News only showing terrible things about the United States President, constantly (who would allow such a thing other than foreign enemies of the USA), and the settings now filter content on a second level (hidden) which you have to shut-off to see your preferred content (outrageous).. All trending news is always slanted to favor One political party promoted also by the Twitter CEO daily. News corporations, who even claim alien spaceship parts are in Las Vegas (2017 NY Times) are given priority over citizens to ensure the broadest brainwashing of political propaganda with an emphasis on hating the United States President. Who remembers when the internet was a melting pot of diversity? Freedom of speech? Not so much anymore. Great work Twitter!

Twitter went from being my number one place for news that I checked every morning to a barely working, right wing capitulating garbage dump of an app. Elon gutted the number of people working for Twitter, mostly to soothe his ego, and now the website regularly breaks and has little to no support. My account was banned months ago, for a very silly reason. I sent many messages to support but each was responded to by a bot telling me they would not reinstate my account or even hear what I had to say. I’m not that hurt over it- maybe they would’ve still left me banned. The part that was insane to me was that I couldn’t reach a real person under ANY circumstance! The only people who have access to speaking to support of any kind have to be highly notable, rich, famous, etc. what kind of website is that? No support, little to no maintenance on the app itself that regularly breaks, constant boosting of ads that are deliberately inflammatory or mass botted, blue check marks being elevated so that the top tweets are no longer creative, interesting or popular- but simply from people who pay $5-$20 a month for an app that has always been free. A slew of horrible, dumb decisions from a guy with a silver spoon in his mouth who desperately wants you to find his boomer memes funny. Uuuugh

I have always used Twitter for news and general comedic relief. It’s has its downfalls over the years, but in general provided a legitimate site for me to find information and a reprieve from life’s day to day stuff. Ever since the purchase, I’ve remained hopeful the app would stick around. I really tried to continue liking and using the app, but I just can’t anymore. I can no longer trust any news from the site because of how much impersonation there is. There’s also so much political rhetoric that it’s frustrating. Elon, I don’t care about your political views. You misguidedly been trying to use this app as a way to push your political agenda. You’re not different than the last head of Twitter - you just simply have a different political agenda you push. I normally wouldn’t care about one meaningless billionaire’s opinions… but all I see if Elon’s tweets all over my page. Even after I muted him, my whole feed was just people talking about him. Maybe in a few years once things calm down and Elon gets rid of Twitter, I’ll come back. But right now, I don’t trust the content on the app, nor the verified user strategy. At the end of the day, I don’t care what Elon thinks. I just want news and comedy. I can get that on Tik Tok and the news apps for now. :)

I used to really enjoy this app but now it is my least favorite app. my biggest issue is the spam bots! you get atleast 100 bots following & messaging you every day you go to report them & nothing is done about it what’s even worse is they don’t even notify you when these bots follow you which makes it seem like they are apart of it which leads to you putting your account on private which decreases the amount of interactions you get on the app! also the for you page is another added feature I dreaded… very copy catish why would I want a whole page dedicated to see people’s tweets that I don’t follow??? Meanwhile they limit how many tweets you can see on the following page a day unless you have the blue check which is dumb! the amount of pornography on the app is crazy I understand they do allow it but it should have sim restrictions the premium or subscription option really took the authenticity and joy out of the app and I also don’t like that you can no longer look at your previous tweets from years ago it only allows you to go back so far noticed it happens after some update back in April of 2023 overall the app has just flopped 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

I went off big tech because I couldn’t trust them when fact checkers was kicking anyone off that didn’t go along with the left on all their craziness. I think Elon has done good putting truth out and proving what we was all saying was 100% true. We was being silenced and that’s our Constitutional right to have freedom of speech. It was so bias and still is on Fakebook and Instagram is still pretty bad, and Utube a little too. I got on Truth, Gettr, Rumble, Telegram and seen what I was missing! It’s nice getting facts and truth and open discussion! I’m coming back to Twitter hoping it’s a fair platform now and things will be so much better when truth isn’t being fact checked as untrue. Somebody needed to shut the fake fact-checked down. Thank you, Elon for all you do to make social media better for all! Oh and when you wanting to know if you should stay on as CEO, I tried to vote for you too, but it wouldn’t let me:( Hope there aren’t still enemies around in Twitter that aren’t good honest people.

I LOVE Twitter as a service and have loved it for over a decade. The Twitter app, however, is just bad. It stutters when scrolling, jumping between lists does not save my position at the last read tweet, and the app tries to force annoying accounts/others’ insignificant interactions down our throats. Third party apps were of great benefit to the service and made it better - additionally many third party features were eventually copied by Twitter (Twitter even bought a third party app called Tweetie and rebranded it as their own app many years ago). Elon has decided to ban third party apps like Tweetbot, which unlike Twitter’s app was a marvelous piece of software. Twitter thinks this decision will push users to their sorry software but really, at least in my case, I will be using Twitter significantly less. I know that many small developers’ and companies’ livelihoods depended on these apps and Elon decides to unilaterally bar these innovative apps from accessing Twitter entirely. I will truly miss using innovative software and navigating Twitter in a coherent way. I continued hoping for the best for Twitter since Elon purchased the company but I’m beginning to see these big, rash decisions are not conducive to longterm success.

Just put in an edit option. You hit delete and sometimes the edit function comes up, sometimes it doesn’t deleting everything you wrote. Now everyone has to copy and paste before making an edit making the entire process tedious. Apparently getting suspended on here for to stupidest thing while people get away saying tons of stuff with no moderation on twitters part. Seems very one sided. Appealing a suspension also takes longer than the actual suspension. Bravo Jack. Bravo. 👏🏻a 12 hr suspension is now a 96 hour suspension. It’s pretty obvious how bad the censorship is getting. Also if having a conversation is important, why silence the other side? Great way to divide a nation. Maybe jack is getting paid by China. Oh no, I might get suspended...also trump got modded and banned while people are out there stoking hate and Twitter turns a blind eye because it’s their side. No mods or bans. Twitter is ok with people spreading disinformation and one sided reporting as long as it’s from the left. Double standard. Now the Soviet Union 2.0 is spreading tyranny and violence and Twitter is ok with that because of their communist views. Also if you post something and get suspended for it, you can always screenshot what got you banned and post it. Twitter seems that acceptable.

In my opinion a “Tweeter” should not be able to “Block” someone just because someone challenges their tweet. Example: I was following Larry Sabato, UVA Center for Politics a few years ago (I had a child who was attending UVA). I disagreed with many of Sabato’s statements and opinions regarding politics and I said so without threat or offensive language, just my opinion. He “Blocked” me because I challenged his narrative. He never bothered to challenge my opinion or thought, simply eliminated any challenge by Blocking. Some say Sabato is a smart fellow, if so, you would think he could have easily taken me to the intellectual wood shed, told me how I was wrong, and others could have learned from the exchange. On the other hand, perhaps my thoughts and opinions had validity and others could have learned from my challenges (I mist assume that was Sabato’s primary concern). By allowing a user to block a follower just because they are challenging someone’s tweets obviously limits debate. I don’t have a solution, just identifying a problem or concern. Thanks. Jim

I quit using Twitter a few years ago, prior to Elon Musk taking control, because every time I left a conservative message that exposed the lies being told during the Trump presidency, the Twitter police would take it down. Nothing vulgar, just exposing their lies. After Elon took control, I decided to give it another try. I believe in free speech and so does Elon Musk. You will not always like what you see, but it didn’t give them the right to remove free speech. Again, never anything vulgar, hateful, or inciting violence, you know, the way liberal politicians do. I’m so glad we have this platform back and I look forward to many years of fact checking other posts and exposing the lies. For me, X has been a stable platform. Not sure where the one star reviews are coming from, unless it’s just more of those liars that are out there trying to degrade a great app for sharing free speech. I guess those people have weak minds, preferring Government censorship and thought control. That’s pretty sad.

At first it seemed like this was such a great place to share thoughts and opinions then I quickly realized it was a great place for SOME PEOPLE to share their thoughts and opinions while the rest of us have their posts(tweets?)go into an “Algorithm Limbo” where you might be lucky if 10 people actually see their tweets. Tweets I may have spent more than an hr fact checking and finding the perfect photo to accompany it go completely unnoticed much of the time. I have been on X for about 2+ yrs and have about 4k followers and almost 5k I’m following. I would spend ALot more time and energy on the site but most of the time I feel like I am screaming into the wind on a rowboat on the mighty Pacific Ocean. I feel lucky if I get 4 or more likes for a well crafted, thoughtful and often clever/humorous tweet with just the right photo, then I see someone respond to the same post and just say something like “screw those guys!!” And they get THOUSANDS of likes and reposts in one day!!???? Much like FakeBook it is a bit of a popularity contest. And the more ignorant, confrontational MAGA voices seem to get amplified and ruin actual constructive, intelligent discussions.🤷‍♂️

I was always brought up this was the home of the free in the land of the brave and someone should be able to speak their mind and speak their piece as long as it was not in a derogatory way towards another people race religion. With Yahoo and Google it before with Twitter if you disagreed with someone you couldn’t say that you disagreed with them now on Twitter at least you can peoples difference of opinion is what made this country great when one political party or want to leave is dominant with Yahoo and Google it before with Twitter if you disagreed with someone you couldn’t say that you disagreed with them now on Twitter at least you can peoples difference of opinion is what made this country great when one political party or one belief is dominant above all others it’s not right. And just because someone is different doesn’t make them any better or any worse than anyone else but they shouldn’t feel that they should be given special treatment because of race creed color gender stop having your hand out or the respect that you want.

As stated above, this is easily the worlds best and easiest way to self torture! It’s absolutely just the best!… why slam your finger in a car door repeatedly when you can log into X and see what’s on Elon Musks mind about politics today? His tweets.. I mean excuse me.. “posts”… are always at the top now because his likes and shares are artificially boosted by an algorithm, because “free speech!”… Too lazy to get up and fall face first onto shards of glass? No problem! Just log into X and see what conspiracies conservative congressmen and women have been cooking up! Why waist time stepping on nails, or hot coals when you can argue endlessly with people you’ll never meet in real life!?… X doesn’t even hold a candle to all the top modern forms of torture! Now you can more easily throw yourself head first into the lions den metaphorically rather than literally, and it’s all completely free! *may cause brain damage, severe headaches, nausea, loss of self confidence, loss of self esteem, loss of brain cells or motor function in hands and in some severe cases, death!*

I NEED BACK INTO MY ACCOUNTS! I’ve contacted support but essentially, I had my phone reset and restored and as a result, I had to re-login in to my accounts. I set up 2-factor authentication months ago for the accounts but the app i used I guess also reset with my phone because there are no saved codes for twitter. So i can’t get into my accounts and support won’t respond to me about how to get into to them like if there’s a way to verify that it’s still me so I can get in and then disable the two-factor authentication. Also, I had another account I was able to get into and starting using more frequently and got LOCKED OUT less than 36 hours later. X WILL NOT LET ME UNLOCK MY ACCOUNT. It just shows a white screen with a blue loading circle. Then it says “error please reload data” and so i click it and then it just loads indefinitely. I need back into to all 3 of these accounts and am very frustrated that there is no one that I can talk to immediately about this over the phone. I’m scared i’m going to lose the first two accounts simply with how long it could take for a reply from X.

X has been an absolute game-changer for me! The user interface is super intuitive, making navigation a breeze. I've used plenty of services before, but the seamless integration and the responsive design of this platform really stand out. It's just so easy to find what I need, and everything loads lightning-fast. Plus, their customer support is top-notch – friendly, quick, and super helpful. They've gone above and beyond to answer my questions and solve any issues, making me feel valued as a customer. Not only is the platform efficient, but it's also incredibly versatile. Whether I'm looking for entertainment, education, or just to connect with friends, it's got it all. The variety of features and tools available is impressive, and they're always updating with new, cutting-edge options to keep things fresh. I've connected with some amazing people through X, and it's enriched my daily routine in ways I didn't expect. Five stars all the way – I can't recommend it enough!

I was not much of a twitter user previously. I have been on the “x” platform flow for a bit. I was slow getting started with the app only because of personal things in my life. I am finding “x” is much like any other social media platform like FaceBook and LinkedIn. I like the face that there are blue check marks showing the verified accounts. This keeps the information more secure and you know that the information being provided is from a legitimate source. I personally experienced over the past 6 months a breach of my security and information. Knowing there is a way to easily see the verified content posters now is key for me. While I personally don’t have funds to pay become a verified user at the moment, I would definitely pay for the validation once I have the funds available to me. As stated before, I was hacked and trying to still recover. The hack because I clicked on someone’s information that was not verified opened me up to all my information appearing in the dark web, locking me out of all of my accounts l and loss of everything that was important in my life including everything that was in my clouds that I can no longer get back especially since there are no hard copies anymore after the hack cost me my home. I don’t use X much personally for social interaction with others, but I like to read the content and if I see an ad I would like to know more about I will click it, but only from a verified account.

I have been trying to get help with a hacked account for two weeks. You think this would warrant a certain urgency to maintain a secure platform. But no. I have been waiting TWO WEEKS FOR HELP. I've been in it trying to get help from 'x'. I've submit multiple cases through the contact us option. Multiple times, I have gotten AI responses that make ZERO SENSE. I mention that I have already deactivated my account (but the hacker reactivated it) and I get stupid dumb AI response for "help with deactiviting account". WHICH I HAVE ALREADY TRIED. I haven't heard from a human, robot, or ANYTHING that can delete or immediate deactivate my account! This is piss-poor treatment for your users. Twitter has FALLEN OFF, at least I could get help with my account from a person before some idiot took it over. elon musk let me leave your stupid platform, why is your user support dragging its feet for help I urgency NEED. I am stilling waiting for help, 4 cases later. I just need confirmation my account is gone, so I know there are no hackers getting more of my personal information. I have not recieved this at all. This experience has told me all I need to know about your company. You never care about user and help is never, if barely, available.

You’d think with a new owner, the application would be better than it was, I was hopeful. The application has gotten infinitely worse. Why should we get recommended people we dislike (apolitical people getting force-fed Andrew Tate, “End Wokeness”, and “Libs of TikTok” despite never clicking like on their posts), shown interests we don’t have (getting force-fed NBA posts when we don’t even follow basketball), and taking away everyone’s verification badge so now we have to double-check everyone’s page to ensure they’re the real person? Politics aside, even both Donald Trump and Joe Biden lost their verification badges. It seems the new retention method for Twitter users now is evoking the emotion of anger, to debate and slander: but it won’t work on me. While Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat aren’t much better, they aren’t as bad as this. For users looking for an alternative or looking for something better, I’d suggest TikTok. A company who actually cares about the user experience, doesn’t hide critical political news such as the French protests and riots, and is filled with comedy-gold. That is particularly why this inept government wants to ban it, and why cringelords like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg lobby such bans.

x (formerly a much better app called twitter) has finally tested the last of my patience for the endless, exhausting and shallow absorption of time and energy every social media app craves more extremely than ever before. having a video scrolling feature that has no place on an app that isn’t purely video-centric to compete with a platform with a better algorithm is one thing. to have that video scrolling “feature” be an automatic and non-optional occurrence EVERY SINGLE TIME any video you watch on your timeline ends is absolute, well, a word i cannot say in an app store review. elon musk’s reign of terror is destroying any semblance of good twitter had left after it became a cesspool for black and white absolutism and treating serious political and cultural topics with 0 nuance, and i am done. i highly recommend just deleting the app if you already have it and saving yourself the wasted time and mental/emotional exhaustion of constantly being purposefully made to feel angry so people can try to make money off of your engagement, and the endless scroll of noise you will get just for wanting to watch videos on your own timeline. your mental health will thank you.

I’ve been on Twitter since 2009, and I’ve seen all its ups and it’s way downs. Up until Elon bought the app, it was a functioning site that I could engage with fellow artists who shared my interests and got nice feedback from. But ever since it was sold to a literal adult child, my engagement went down, algorithm has been skewed to favor people buying subscriptions on functions that were once free for everyone, nsfw and repetitive ads and bots have cluttered and destroyed timelines, security has been put behind paywalls and now even READING a tweet is limited unless you’re a paying customer? Support is also non-existent as Elon fired almost the entirety of its original staff, instead you’ll be redirected by AIs in an endless loop until you give up on trying to seek out a human, they’ve taken out their ways to contact on purpose so if you get banned unjustly, you’re done. It’s insane how much of this has happened in a YEAR. And it’s sad that a once flourishing social media site could fall so hard. I’m currently looking for the next social media app that will allow the freedom I once had. Don’t sign up for this app if you’re thinking about it, you will be forced to pay per post and it is not worth it.

The X app is a game-changer for getting uncensored news fast. What really makes it stand out is the Community Notes feature. It lets users add info or corrections to news, helping fight fake news and making sure what you’re reading is legit. I love how fast news hits X, way before traditional media. It gives you raw insights from people actually there, without the usual media bias. This means you get the full picture and can make up your own mind. X is also great because it doesn’t censor news. You get to see everything, which is rare these days. It’s like a breath of fresh air, offering different viewpoints from around the world. Plus, being part of X feels like you’re in a global community. Everyone’s connected, sharing news and views, making you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. Bottom line: If you want news that’s fast, true, and wide-ranging, X is the way to go. It’s straightforward, no fluff, and keeps you in the know.

I’m new to x but it giv me a look into ware we as Americans are going, im finding out its one big bag of nuts. Im no better anyone on x but thank god I’m sain. As time goes on I feel that this country no longer America that I grew up in I was tought reading writing history and math in school. I know what a man and a woman is. I know our country was founded on the constitution what allows me to live free I have rights , people respect one another. I have know problems with gay people whatever floats your boat. But I know it’s wrong to put it in our schools. I believe if you’re teaching communism in our schools you schould be deported out . I also know every country with a open border has failed. I know that there is brain washing going on. I know that there are rich people funding people to destroy our country. I know we have corrupt government. And I know all this stuff is because of the people on X thank you Elon for giving us a platform to express our beliefs and make our own decisions. Again thank you

So I got Twitter, about 10 years ago when I was in high school and I didn’t really do much on it except for follow friends but also follow all the major news sites so that I can get breaking news as quickly as possible and for the last 10 years it’s worked so well I would get the breaking news is something important happening before the notification for my news app or anywhere else however, in the last year my notifications have become so idiotic and useless. The notifications I get are so dumb and don’t even come from major news sites or official journalists and all I get are just notifications of someone spreading hate, commenting hateful stuff. The site has been riddled with incels and “anti-woke” people (which that phrase is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard). And now even the major news sites don’t tweet anything important anymore, it all has become click bait and such. To this end, I really have no reason to keep this app. Additionally the buying blue check mark thing has really been giving people a false sense of importance and make them seem like they know everything and people just say the most horrible hateful things with no consideration.

I used to use a good amount but slowed down a few months ago prior to Elon acquiring it. And let me tell you when I went back on I was left w an awful taste in my mouth. This nepotism baby that has bought his way to any recognition and has grifted on his so called “ intelligence” and influence has single handedly ruined an app that has been a major campus of pop culture for more than a decade now. He’s shown how much of an imbecile he actually is and how most of his money he makes of the work and backs of other people much more intelligent and capable than he, and how narcissistic he is to not be able to run a platform like Twitter in a way even resembling unbiased. He claims to be for freedom of speech while suspending people he doesn’t agree w and he’s so out of touch he doesn’t even know what Twitter users want. Do us all a favor and slowly back away from mainstream media because every time we here ur name an “ugh this guy” follows. I have never been one to encourage bullying but it clearly would have done him some good to humble that narcissistic ego he’s got going on and I pray for his kids that making a public fool of themselves isn’t hereditary. Deleting the app or probably never coming back thx for ruining it Elon.

I don’t like repression, being held down by people who are more powerful than me. I don’t like it when they have something nice and I like to play with it but then they use it against me. They’ll take it away from me because I don’t play how they like to play. Or keep from bring active for accidentally breaking a rule. My “mistakes” cost my voice, but I must be heard because words are important. Free people should be free to speak so we can decide if they are worthy of be heard or no. One day there maybe no one to listen to because everyone worth hearing has broken the law and has been silenced. The ones that can be heard still have also broken the same laws I have broken, however, the people work for the service provider or they are friends with the service provider so they receive higher regard and are not susceptible to the same punishments I am at my lower valued station in this arrangement. How much more wealth does a Twitter employee gain by silencing their fellow Americans?

Elon’s presence has magnified the worst of X while suppressing the best of Twitter. His own example is now typical of what he allows other posters to see. Since Elon fired Twitter workers, I’ve stopped seeing posts from the people I follow. I see very few posts from women & people of color. Ads are more frequent than in the past. Racism, antisemitism, threats of violence, misogyny, sexism, inappropriate comments about children, & other nasty posts are no longer removed by moderators … making this experience not pleasant. The free exchange of ideas has been replaced by nastiness & fake news that is destructive. Attacks on teachers, reasonable public leaders, the environment, healthcare, & support for LBGTQ people are regular, hateful, & involve presenting false information as fact. Bots & bot networks abound and are never removed. Nothing about X supports the first amendment … the algorithm suppresses ideas not supported bybElon. It’s nothing more than the worst of right wing attacks & money making ads. Elon’s idea of “citizen journalism” is a joke shown in proliferation of lies, attacks, & hateful rhetoric with the intent of suppressing anything that was good before his tenure. In summary, X has become yet another tool of Elon & other extremists to promote harmful propaganda.

I use Twitter a lot to follow artists and friends, but it’s very difficult to keep track of everything when the options are so limited. I see advertisements and promoted tweets way too often. There’s no Twitter Pro that I can buy to not have to see ads. The tweets I see are time-stamped, but they’re always out of order (2 minutes, 5 hours, 5 minutes, 2 weeks ago) and there’s no way to filter the tweets I see on my dashboard. I would love to be able to see only pictures or only text posts, but there’s no way to do this except for searching on a specific Twitter page. On top of this, once you scroll down a certain amount, you can’t scroll anymore so you can’t know what you missed unless you go through Twitter pages manually. I’m most disappointed about the ads, but all of the problems here are very inconvenient, annoying, and time consuming. The only reason I’m here is because all of the good artists moved here from Tumblr

I’m not going to deny it, I’m addicted to this site/app, however, it seems that the best features it had are being paywalled or removed entirely. I can get some new features, like the ability to make longer posts be a premium feature, but things the site had already being stripped away. Is not appealing. Things like ability to what people are liking (was a decent way to see common interests you had with others) now gone. Ability to livestream, now paywalled. Tons of ads, okay I’m okay with ads, however it it used to be I could better curate which ads I saw so I can only see relevant ones, now I’m seeing the most off the wall non relatable ads on the planet. When I saw I’m not interested in that ad, or it’s company, I get hit with a prompt telling me to pay money to avoid ads overall. I want to ads for stuff like games, concerts, conventions and other similar events, not enhancement supplements, and dropshipped temu-esque knockoffs >_<. I’m still waiting got the changes to be good, but it seems every month something is added/paywalled to make it lose it viability.

Elon turned this app into a literal dumpster fire. The man is so childish. He spent all that money on it just to run users off of the app all cuz he really didn’t want it in the first place. Since he fired most of the staff, the app barely functioned as a social media app. Notifications did not work. If u reported someone for bad behavior such as calling others racial slurs, threatening to harm others, etc the report would go no where or the system would tell u that their was no problem with the tweet u reported and that the company would do nothing. Elon will let anyone say anything on this app. He does not care. He will reinstate anyone no matter what they did in the present or in their past. He would let a known sex trafficker use his app to prey on others as long as they pay him for his blue check mark. I didn’t think Twitter could get any worse until Elon bought it. Twitter hasn’t always been a great app. It had its issues but at least under the previous owners made u feel like they were actually reading ur complaints and even though they didn’t always agree, u still felt like any issues were acknowledged. Elon just encourages those who remained to not even open the report.

Deleted my original twitter account a couple years ago, just recently redownloaded and made a new account- after logging in for the first time I was suspended for 12 hours before I was able to tweet anything. It has now worn off but I still can’t log in because it keeps asking for a phone number instead of email. I have messaged support multiple times over the weekend and I still have yet to be helped. Twitter just isn’t worth the headache. edit: A few days later and support is still useless and I’m still being forced to put in a cellphone number when I do not have service. At this point, I wouldn’t give them a phone number even if I could. Evidently, phone numbers are a requirement to use this platform instead of email as it used to be. How very disappointing. edit: Now a couple weeks later and I can confirm that twitter is an absolute mess. They have absolutely no human support staff, just useless automated messages that don’t help in the slightest. What a ridiculous joke of an app. edit: been months now and twitter is still a useless, flaccid, rancid garbage fire with absolutely no support. Thankful that Reddit exists as they actually have customer support.

I feel so bad for Elon, most of these reviews hate him and I don’t get why he deserves it, he didn’t inherit wealth, look it up. he smoked weed on a talk show, cool he’s human. He has his own political views, isn’t that also why you all hate him, because you all also have your own political views? Maybe everyone hates him for exposing so many lies, I know the media hates him. Why does everyone think Elon wants world domination, I think he’s a smart guy who wants to make a name for himself, and be memorable while at it, and I personally think he’s funny. Living a life managing so many things can be boring and extremely stressful, he barely has time to do anything, he runs all day on 6 hours or sleep and he said it himself! Try doing that. And on another note, I’d like to thank Elon for changing the world, and making it possible to be yourself while making huge accomplishments, something we all brag about but hold others back when doing so. Thanks for reading.

As we turnt the bend amongst the ages, stars above twinkling & the humans carrying onwards, large amounts of money were being funneled through the ex-‘Twitter’ whilst having hired, wether known or unknown Federal Agents of ‘GOV’ who transpired to modulate the algorithm to inspire political change, many men ‘donating’,“money” to ensure that the Media & Narrative of the United States was pushed forward; whilst this was effective in it’s efforts Twitter the platform itself had lost it’s way unto the various media & social interaction amongst community it had previously stood for. Elon’s efforts into Reestablishing it’s Prominent Promptitude for others to interpret & interact properly was key to its current success, having adjusted the business model alongside reducing the overall operational costs associated with such. Elon has done an excellent job, as per usual. I hope that the upcoming app that he is working on carries the same idealisms & messages of the prior work, whilst establishing a fair means of relationship between networks. Best Of Luck Elon.

Since the sale of Twitter the owner has inflicted his whimsical and arbitrary standards and practices. It is inconsistent and often if anything the host application for conspiracy theorists and sometimes dangerous disinformation. The fact that I have to pay extra to be able to edit my posts and have the space required to fully explain a statement is not worth the extra money and frankly it’s interpretation of free speech often is based on the owners personal lexicon and point of view du jour. The medical disinformation is eventually going to result in deaths and disabilities that could become of tragic magnitude. The fact is that it is just another toy for the owner and I really don’t have any further interest in playing. Within a few days I will cancel my blue check mark and allow my account to become inactive. I don’t intend to close it because occasionally I will come back to counter some of the dangerous political statements that are allowed for select political celebrities because they are getting attention. Apparently the application subscribe to the adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Eventually the platform is probably going to become something else entirely or wither away and die.

As a human being and citizen of the United States, I fully support, respect, and appreciate all of the new policies under way at Twitter. It is unlike most social media platforms, because their policies are publicized clearly and are VERY easy to find and understand. One policy Twitter has been actively changing is privacy options for its users. Privacy on social media (and everywhere) has been a concern for quite some time. I like how as each adjustment is made, it is clearly explained, step by step, within the platform by the company and Twitter CEO himself. It is explained in such detail, and helps the user understand it’s policies very clearly. Along with publicizing its privacy settings adjustments, Twitter is making some needed adjustments to the previous algorithm, settings, and procedures. Those adjustments are also publicized and clearly explained from the company in the app. Talk about being informed!!👍 ***This does not go unnoticed by me in any way. Information awareness and understanding by users and citizens is essential in EVERY aspect of our world you can think of. As an added bonus for me, Twitter is a big piece of the fun in this harsh world. Its humor is truly a gift that keeps on giving. 😂 I can’t think of anything more critical at this time. Looking forward to what comes next! Thank you Twitter for the continued breaths of fresh air, and for the important protection of our freedoms!🦅 You’re making a difference!

I can only use Twitter for direct messaging & getting notified of some of my selected accounts in my followed set for notifications.. No one ever sees my tweets. I used to get interactions but none in more than a year of daily tweets. Now the app keeps logging me out taking so much time to log back in each time since latest IOS updates. Annoying without Touch-ID sign in & having to enter long passwords. Getting ready to stop tweeting & getting notifications elsewhere that I can rely on. Also, after writing this review no support or willingness to help even if I send a DM to Twitter support, not wanting to tweet something nasty! I am not sure who is designing, supporting or what goals the developer has for this app but I wish another developer would offer a better app to use for Twitter, not wanting to have to log in to my account every time I want to post, view notifications details or just look through my feed.

I've been using Twitter for a good, solid amount of time but recently a bunch of religiously motivated Tweets have been showing up on my Timeline under 'Based on your likes.' I'm not religious and have not been since I was 10 years old (did not have Twitter at this time). I tried reporting these as Tweets I was 'not interested' in many times and they continue to show up. I'm not going to stop showing Tweets 'Based on my likes' because usually these are cats and bunnies and I like those. However the amount of religious propaganda I'm experiencing is seriously disturbing to me. Even if I did accidentally like a single religious Tweet that should not be cause for them showing up every other scroll. Additionally this should cease to happen after I report that I do not want to see these kinds of Tweets anymore. What kind of sick game is this? As a society it's important to not only respect our individual differences but celebrate them. If everyone operated with the same mindset we would never evolve as a community. Stop trying to not so subtly influence people into adopting an entire different set of spiritual beliefs. It's disrespectful and it's concerning. Please practice common decency and responsibility.

By far one of the worst apps i’ve ever seen and used. If you expect to use this app to just chat about your interests, maybe Video Games, TV Shows, any sort of hobby, you will not be able to do that. This platform has become nothing but a breeding ground for hate speech, with absolutely NO strides towards fixing this issue. The person who REBRANDED X, Elon Musk, is racist himself. You will need to block HALF of the people on this app before you get videos pertaining to your interest, until you get gorey shootings and fights, which when you open the comments, will be more racist comments, alongside hundreds of bot accounts posting videos that have absolutely no correlation to the original post. X is seriously bad. I’m surprised that Apple has even allowed this app stay up this long. I thought their whole deal was less exposure towards 18+ content and racist content, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Do not download this app.

I had completely left Twitter for Truth Social. But after the brilliance of Elon, I have decided to give it another try. I am extremely happy that I did. First know that I have been following Q since the very beginning. I have watched as conspiracy theory has been proven more factual than the actual news. I’m a true Maga Trump supporter. But I am also a human being, raising two little girls. Truth Social may very well be the truth and exactly how I feel. But it can also be extremely exhausting. Knowing the truth is a good thing, and fixing our broken country is a must. It is also extremely important that we avoid the rabbit holes in life. Thank you Elon for what you are doing to improve the Twitter community. It is not only becoming the people’s place for news, but also the people’s place for Truth. Your son is a lucky little man, who will one day say..” that’s my dad”. Keep up the great work, it’s what we leave our children that is valuable. Sincerely, QandMe

Money can buy you a lot of things but I cannot buy you class or education if you choose not to. Seeing the changes in Twitter shows how many uneducated, racist……why I do not know because there is more crime committed by white people every day than blacks and I am white and watch it nightly on the news from both sides. This degradation and divisive Ness is what is going to take America down. You people should be focused on the issues and making them better. If you are such a wonderful, wealthy man Mr. musk, you should take some class out of your pinky finger and apply it to your new purchase. I will never use Twitter again and all of the people I know said the same. I never used it anyhow I just download it after hearing how low it got. I will now remove the app and hope you get some education in class as to who we are really at war with. You people want a Civil War it seems like. We won another loss of hundreds of thousands of lives because you can’t get along With people based on their melanin level. What next, you are going to start checking peoples blood types? Grow up, read some books and see what you’re really doing to our country!

Twitter has been going downhill since Elon announced the revenue sharing program. Tweets are no longer intellectual and you won’t believe this- but every tweet I’ve seen gone viral is something really stupid. Twitter no longer stimulate the mind but seeks to dumb it. I wish people were very observant to the catastrophe they’re now putting themselves in. Times before, I could spend as much as 20 minutes reading really useful, informative and funny tweets, but now I find myself in a rabbit hole spending hours reading garbage. Either someone is tweeting about what sex position they want or someone going on a racist rant, tweets insulting other countries or a particular race. Replies no longer serve the purpose of useful/funny discussion. It’s now filled with users promoting their low viewed contents to get Musk Money. The worst? There is porn everywhere!!!! I’m tired of this man! I don’t use instagram, Threads, or Facebook. I only use Snapchat for pics/videos because of the degenerate contents they purport. I used to defend Twitter because it provided good reads like YouTube’s side of “how to do things”- not anymore! Maybe I’ll come back when they hire me do cause a positive change/ someone does cause that change.

I began my journey on Social Media on MySpace and now I’m on several different platforms. I spend about equal amount of time between Facebook and Twitter. I use FB for local and National issues and politics as well as communicating with friends. Twitter for me is used almost explicitly for expressing my views and opinions about political issues, including local, state and federal matters. Social Media can provide excellent platforms for education, news gathering, entertainment and communication but too often censorship is interfering with free speech which will in time render these useless to the populace. At one time Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. were all ideas that became realities. Now ideas for new ways to communicate are being explored and coming into fruition with the promise of free expression. If Twitter and Facebook want to stay competitive and remain leaders in this industry my humble opinion is to return to the policies that made your platforms great.
