1. [R28] 5/5 · US peak of the peak: in china right now, and my vpn works buns. rednote is such an amazing alternative to other social media apps. ive been using it for art tips, but omg everyone else is great too.
2. [R49] 5/5 · US Rednote tuts: Their art tutorials are too goated
3. [R177] 5/5 · US So frickin cool!!: Tiktok is basically a dumpster fire. It's mostly full of hatred, misinformation, and people who are ignorant. Am I saying you shouldn't use tiktok? Of course not. You can use it, but i recommend to filter your page since Tiktok can take things out of detail based on what you like and present you things that you don't want to see. Meanwhile, XiaoHongShu is a place where you can m

8. [R156] 5/5 · US My Asian Cousins: I love red not.. we all can learn something from each other.. it so nice to see positivity.. LOVE IT!!
9. [R30] 3/5 · US App is good but some videos and comments are Awful: Personal I liked the app especially to learn Chinese, but there are a lot of rasist comments and videos about India, it's really sad for me to read as an Indian
10. [R69] 5/5 · US Thank u I love it: I love it so much it give the tips I want and need I so happy for the person who invented this the app is great
11. [R77] 5/5 · US Me encanta!: Es increiblemente muy innovador cada video corto es una nueva idea o manera de enseñar algo nuevo. Mi favorito
12. [R2] 2/5 · US Account being restricted for random reasons: They decided there was a safety issue on my account, so they restricted the account access. No appealing granted, only to verify myself with upload of the passport. Yet their system is not capable of doing so. Tried to contact the support team, only bots were given unhelpful answers. Tried to Uninstall the app, didn’t work. Tried to have a new account,
13. [R3] 1/5 · US Banned: They banned me after 2 days of having the account. Idk why coz I’m not a bot- I also wasn’t posting a lot. I didn’t post or comment any inappropriate stuff so it’s really frustrating. I only created an account on rednote coz I wanted to follow the love and deepspace cosplayers and also watch reels from people who went to AX expo. There’s more about that here than on IG. Then I got banned.
14. [R15] 2/5 · US Unclear suspension and no meaningful appeal: My RedNote account was permanently suspended without a specific explanation or clear evidence of a violation. I appealed through the app, but only received a generic response and no meaningful human review. I am giving this rating because the account enforcement and appeal process is not transparent or fair.
15. [R16] 1/5 · US Blocked account for no reason: I reached out to customer support, asking why they blocked my account. They refused to give any reason. They just block your account as they want
16. [R13] 1/5 · US Xiaohongshu really loves to block things: Blocking comments: Comments you post aren't visible to others, and you don't tell the person who posted them. Blocking posts: Posts you make aren't visible to others, and you don't tell the person who posted them. Is this how you respect users? Always doing things behind people's backs? All sorts of emasculating designs, truly marinated in it. Update: Received a developer response telling me to contact customer service. Guess what? I actually did. First, your customer service reps are all bots. You're telling me to talk to a bot when you say "contact customer service"? You're wasting my time. Second, the bot customer service blames "blocking" on "review." It says posts need to be reviewed. Guess what? I went and verified it again. I posted something, and it clearly showed "review passed," but others still couldn't see it. So you're lying! You're not honest or straightforward. Are you going to tell me to report to customer service again about why others can't see my post? Lol, that's enough. · translated
17. [R24] 1/5 · US Support sucks: I got blocked for absolutely no reason. Banned. Can never log in again. I’ve tried contacting support at least 10 times and no response or they are completely useless
18. [R37] 1/5 · US There's no difference between human customer service and AI: My account was blocked, and I appealed a month ago with no results. When I contact customer service, they just say the department is still processing it and will follow up, and then they say the same things as an AI, like "please understand and wait patiently." I've already waited a month. I asked customer service in between, and they said they would expedite it, but two weeks have passed, and there are still no results. · translated
19. [R1] 1/5 · US Rogue software: I turned off all in-app notifications, but it still keeps pushing homepage recommendations to my notifications. Customer service feedback is still like talking to a brick wall. I updated it, and the problem still exists. I can only turn off all Xiaohongshu push notifications in the settings, which is so frustrating. · translated
20. [R17] 1/5 · US Try pushing random notifications to me again: I turned off all notifications except interaction notifications, but it still pops up with inexplicable pushed posts. Do you not understand human language? Don't force push notifications to me, okay? · translated
21. [R20] 1/5 · US World Cup live stream recommendations are disgusting: I can't turn them off, so I had to use a VPN to solve it, and it seems that's the only way to get rid of them. Also, hot topics are still full of the World Cup. I've blocked countless World Cup keywords, but it still recommends them. I think Xiaohongshu is being incredibly willful. · translated
22. [R22] 1/5 · US Stop popping up for notification permissions: Can you act like a normal human being? · translated
23. [R4] 1/5 · US It’s not supporting gender equality: Everything deals with gender equality will be banned. This is an app with sexism.
24. [R8] 1/5 · US Warning: The muting and suppression are very severe. Xiaohongshu loves to subtly exert its power. Xiaohongshu started with female users and now wants to get rid of the "female platform" label. · translated
25. [R55] 1/5 · US EXTREME CENSORSHIP Account suspended for talking about Human Rights: If you want to mention human rights, protection for women and children, labor laws, or even having constructive criticism for Chinese society. YOU WILL BE BANNED! There is a reason why everything looks so perfect on remote, because any other voices will be Silenced
26. [R7] 4/5 · US Few Issues: One issue being it won’t let me upload a profile picture nor a background, it just loads & wont stop. Second issue being there’s no filter option for search so it’s hard to find small creators under 1K
27. [R99] 3/5 · US Issues: It’s asking for my birthday and year and when I put it in it doesn’t move to another screen and may I Mind you I’m over 13
28. [R197] 5/5 · US It won't let me sign in: So basicly I of this app because it had cute stuff and I am not allowed to have tt. I put in my email and my password. Then it asked me for a phone number but I would not let me type. I cannot even use the app.
29. [R36] 2/5 · US Why is there no video mute button??: How can there be no mute button?? · translated
30. [R34] 4/5 · US Creepy people: Hey rednote good and great app but some men on here are inappropriate with their behavior on here comment section wise and chat wise that I had to block them please do something about this and thank you great app nevertheless!❤️🐧
31. [R39] 1/5 · US Valko: Lots of racist girls inside and they’re being inconsiderate of other girls too, bullying other girls to death and also very racist to colored girls, calling them monkeys and broke africans. It is not about connect and love. It is filled with mass hate and pressure on a beloved game that they are ruining for their greed
32. [R62] 1/5 · US Extremely racist.: Has become extremely racist. Would not recommend. They love to say the N word and lack basic humanity when it comes to different races of people.
33. [R411] 3/5 · GB Can personal information not be re-bound?: Only by canceling the account can personal information be unbound, which is too inconvenient. When I used to work, my account was bound to my ID card, but after resigning, my identity information is still bound to the company account. I don't know what the company uses this account for, and to unbind it, I can only cancel the account, which is too unreasonable. Bilibili next door allows you to unbind real-name verification first and then re-bind. Moreover, I saw posts where some people could unbind by contacting staff, but I can't, and there's no reasonable explanation when I ask. It's unfair and inhuman. I hope for improvement. · translated
34. [R540] 3/5 · CA Auto translate: I love rednote but the auto translation on the videos isn’t working anymore
35. [R54] 1/5 · US extremely opaque censorship rules: They even do shadow ban, where no one can see anything from you, but you cannot tell that you are banned.
36. [R21] 3/5 · US Aplicación: La aplicación es excelente pero muy débil la señal 🤦‍♂️
37. [R31] 1/5 · US Cannot connect due to Timeout of 8000ms exceeded: ios用户，已经一天用不了app，永远是网络超时。其他app没问题。更新iOS、更新小红书、重启手机都没法修复update: this is third day can’t do nothing with this app due to timeout of 10000ms exceeded. Looks like they tried to mask issue by increasing the timeout
38. [R10] 5/5 · US I like that it lets me identify scammers: Although not everyone who doesn't post frequently is a scammer, at least I can see who is a normal person (someone who posts frequently), so I only keep those who post frequently. If they are just viewers, as long as they don't leave a trace, I can't tell who is a scammer. · translated
39. [R12] 2/5 · US I love rednote but: Ever since forgieners start using rednote, its all just english and american.
40. [R25] 1/5 · US Control your 'open notifications' pop-ups: You've also discovered a new form of harassment, the number one abuser of pop-ups. · translated
