Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.
- [R1] Cluster Love it but slow: I love this app but pictures load very slow or don’t finish loading
- [R4] Cluster Photos: It will not let me upload any photos
- [R7] Cluster Photos don’t upload: Couldn’t get the app to work, kept freezing, had to reinstall, the photos wouldn’t upload very frustrating waste of time
- [R10] Cluster Stopped uploading: I love this app but it no longer allows me to upload anything. It just fails every time no matter what I do. Please fix it!
- [R15] Cluster Glitchy: This app has constant glitches. Some days I can’t post at all. Now it’s not notifying people when I do post even though they were getting notifications before. Sending invites is a pain - sometimes people get them sometimes they don’t. Sometimes the link works, other times it doesn’t open anything. Also only some android users can use it. Some with newer androids tell me they can’t get th
- [R16] Cluster Needs Update: App constantly freezes. I can't view or upload any photos. Please update!
- [R24] Cluster Is Cluster still supported?: This app was great years ago, I suspect there's just zero support judging by all the reviews complaining about it. Unfortunately, that's what I came here to confirm. I can barely use the app without it crashing. If i try to save a photo to my iPhone it crashes immediately, and it's been doing that for years. I just take a screenshot then crop it. I was happy to sup
- [R19] Cluster Fix this outdated app: The app has not been meaningfully updated in years. My first nephew was born in 2016 and this app is still the exact same with terrible UI 9 years later for when I’m having my first kid. Now I’m forced to use this relic of an application bc my family already has it downloaded and all grand babies are on it. If I have to use it then please make it modern and with more functio
- [R49] Cluster New name, same problems: My family still has problems getting the app to download and open. The latest is saying it can’t be downloaded because it was “made for an older version of android” 🤨 Also the app still bugs and closes when accessing contacts
- [R9] Cluster Logging in issues: I cannot view my groups and I logged out to attempt to fix it but now I can’t log back in. Please advise on what to do to or if anyone else is experiencing issues as well.
- [R21] Cluster Nice app with a few things to keep in mind: The app has a nice feel and has worked nicely for sharing different albums with different audiences. The only downsides are a.) the notifications don’t work well. Despite setting up the app to have me notified when comments are added or photos are liked, I still don’t get the notifications. Other users in my family have said the same thing. It would b
- [R30] Cluster Not working right: Really like this app! But it’s currently not working. We aren’t able to log in or see our photos. Please fix the app!
- [R6] Cluster Help I have a Android: My husband and my brother, both have androids and when they try to download your app, it says the software is updated for Android phones.
- [R3] Cluster Works for what I use it for: I take the photos for our towns youth football league. 4 age divisions and I can have a cluster group for each division. I wish I could have a QR code for each group, it would make sign ups for parents SO much easier! The link is ok but not as efficient, I would even go premium if that was an option because I use this app weekly from July-November for hundreds of kids
- [R11] Cluster LOVE this app but needs category system: Loving the concept to share photos away from social media! However, with the amount of photos my family uploads, many photos are getting lost. Having categories or folders would be helpful to find photos for specific events instead of scrolling through thousands of photos.
- [R22] Cluster No search?: We rated this a two, but I will say that it has been dependable so far. It just doesn’t appear that there is a search feature so you can search for somebody’s name and possibly see all of the pictures that have been posted with their name. Or, adding a hashtag specific to topics that we select in advance. I went to their product support page and it doesn’t appear there are any instruct
- [R52] FamilyAlbum Still waiting on ordered photos: Enjoy being able to see all the photos. I have had trouble receiving the photos I have ordered the last few months.
- [R53] FamilyAlbum Love the app, but…: I love being able to share photos in the app with family, but I bought photos in April and May and I still have not received them. While sharing photos is awesome, if you want them printed, you’re better off ordering them through your local photo printing place like Walgreens or Walmart.
- [R54] FamilyAlbum Worried: I love the app. I truly do but recently my orders have not showed up. My address is correct and yet the photos still say shipped but they never deliver. It scares me because I don't know where my photos are going and they are pictures of my children. I keep getting replacement free photos and they also don't show. I just feel super uncomfortable that I don't know where my personal photos
- [R55] FamilyAlbum Big fan!: What a great was to share pix without having to send to everyone individually or post everything on FB.
- [R65] Clusterduck 15% of the time, it’s a GREAT game!: Clusterduck is genuinely delightful during the brief, precious moments when it actually lets you play Clusterduck. The ducks are weird, the collecting loop is satisfying, and there is enough chaotic little creature energy here to make it easy to understand why someone would get hooked. Unfortunately, the game seems deeply committed to making sure you spend fa
- [R66] Clusterduck Amazing!: Cluster duck makes me not bored in the most boring times. And. It doesn’t make you bored! (I’m not good at reviews)
- [R67] Clusterduck Fun buuutttt: They make you pay money and watch adds for basic items
- [R68] Clusterduck still getting ads: paid for no ads. still getting ads…
- [R79] Photo Collage Maker PicJointer Horrible: Horrible app / lacks any good and useful stuff. Chargers you multiple times per week. Just horirble.
- [R80] Photo Collage Maker PicJointer Hi: Thank you very muche best in the word app i licke
- [R81] Photo Collage Maker PicJointer good app: but way to expensive
- [R82] Photo Collage Maker PicJointer Waste or time: Wont let you even do one picture without a purchase to see if you like it dont waste your time
- [R93] Dino mutant Not like the ad: I first saw this game on an ad when I was playing a different game, in the ad I saw for this game, it was a tycoon, your a T. rex and you kill other dinosaurs, feed their meat to other T. rex’s, and upgrade your base and upgrade your T. rex, but the real game is nothing like the ad, this is false advertising, which is why i am rating the game one star.
- [R94] Dino mutant We need DINO MUTANT ANKLOSAURUS: Ngtl I love this game but my favorite dinosaur is the ANKLOSAURUS so why not make the game but the dinosaur is an ANKLOSAURUS
- [R95] Dino mutant Is there any reason to or not to breed in or out speed? Are there any cons for “wasting levels”?: These things don’t seem explained very well as no one in the tribe no global chat knew the answer to exactly what all speed affects and if there’s any reason to keep it bred out or bred in. I need to know if it has cons, such as making eggs take longer despite not helping much in combat.
- [R96] Dino mutant Doesn't work: endless connection to the server, nothing loads on Wi-Fi or cellular data. There's a note saying "if it doesn't work, check Discord for updates," but after looking through the entire site, I found links to all social networks except Discord. · translated
- [R106] Dino mutant Dino: Was really fun until this new update kinda killed the game(they took away chance of building up and leveling to constant bullying)
- [R107] ClusterTruck Quality and portions have decreased DRASTICALLY - STAY AWAY: This place used to be fantastic I used to love ClusterTruck, it used to be one of my favorite places to order takeout from but over the last year, maybe year and a half the quality of the food has gone down so bad it’s almost inedible. they’re cutting corners and costs in all of the wrong places and their product shows it. It’s despicabl
- [R108] ClusterTruck FABULOUS!!: I have gotten the Mediterranean wrap with steak and it is delicious! Fresh and filling without feeling heavy😋😋
- [R109] ClusterTruck App sucks, food outstanding: App is not allowing any purchases unless you provide your card info and mark for them to remember it. You can not use Apple Pay or do a one time purchase with your card. They need to fix this issue ASAP. I would hate for used to get ClusterTrucks food because the website or app is refusing the payment selection.
- [R5] Cluster Photo Books are Great: Just like the other reviewers, I too am very impressed with the Cluster App. Very easy to use and to interact with the current 25 users in our group. What these reviews don’t mention is the ability to create photo books. I have created 2,12x12 and 1, 8x8 hardbound books as well as 4, 5x5 soft cover books. The quality of the prints is fantastic. And the is no difference in
- [R29] Cluster Fabulous photo sharing app: Also does beautiful photo books
- [R38] Cluster exactly what I was looking for: This app delivers! It’s easy to upload photos and videos. I love that the Feed is more like a feed and not tied to a calendar which makes it user friendly. My family members also say they prefer it to other photo sharing apps. I’ve been using it for a couple years and am very happy, and the photo books are a nice touch!
- [R56] FamilyAlbum Increasingly a Money Grab: When we first started using this app, it was great! It was a wonderful way for us to privately share pictures with family and friends. Over the years, the pop ups and ads for products and paid versions of the app have gotten increasingly annoying. For me, the worst part is when they took away the already limited “on this day” slideshows to give you only one each day. I u
- [R57] FamilyAlbum Money grab: Used to be a great app overall but recent updates have put previously free features behind paywalls. Like the “on this day” recaps. Seems a bit shady to try and make money by putting previously free features behind paywalls instead of adding new features and charging for those. People notice these kind of things. Truly hope they reverse this decision as I will do my part in letting peo
- [R58] FamilyAlbum Best Family Album Ever: Great way to share photos and videos with family members and close friends. Love getting to see pictures and videos my grandkids daily. I also love the fact that I can get the 11 pictures every month for $ 3.99. there are usually so many good ones I end up getting more than my 11 every month.
- [R71] Clusterduck Impossible ad to get out of: It was great for like five minutes, but then it showed me this ad that was impossible to get out of. I completely shut down my phone and re-did it, and I got rid of the ad. But then not 30 seconds later, it showed the same ad.
- [R74] Clusterduck Paid $20 to remove ads, still getting full page pop up ads: Still getting a full screen ad when I open the app. But paid $20, apparently for nothing.
- [R84] Photo Collage Maker PicJointer Not free: Need to pay and subscribe for even the most basic option (combine 4 pictures into one).
- [R85] Photo Collage Maker PicJointer You have to pay to save or use: Not worth it
- [R98] Dino mutant Great Game Plagued by Microtransactions: The gameplay was solid when the game first came out and has continued to be refined. So if your only goal is to have a fun time making cute dinos, I recommend it. However, if you want to partake in the pvp aspect of the game, I highly advise staying away unless you are content with spending $300+ per month. The pay to win aspects of the game are horribly
- [R100] Dino mutant Bad game: I’ve been playing this game for about 2 years, and I’ve watched it go downhill. I’ve spent over $4,000 on it. Back in the beginning, it was actually fun, but like a lot of games, the devs turned it into a heavy pay-to-win cash grab. At this point, it’s not even worth starting unless you’re willing to drop $2,000+ just to stay competitive. I’m currently lv3500, top 30 in levels🫤😔
- [R102] Dino mutant Updates are getting far out of hand: It seems the more we get into updates, it only favors the higher level bully tribes. I had just spend plenty of money into this game and planned much more (I’m $250+ in, in the past two weeks), but with how the game has been going… it really seems pointless in hanging around, even if I spent more, I cannot base anywhere, as these huge tribes make huge mega base
