1. [R2] Reddit 5/5 · US Last Great Social Media: Reddit combines the best of old-style forum posting with modern, quick access and media capabilities. Love it.
2. [R8] Reddit 5/5 · US The Only Place Left: Literally Reddit is the only place genuine human beings are communicating and sharing ideas and opinions. Reddit protects our first amendment without AI running the system. Only place left that you can communicate with another human being directly
3. [R45] Reddit 5/5 · US Great question answerer!: The best app for finding and answering ANY questions you need answered with the numerous amounts of Reddits and subreddits. Better than google
4. [R88] Instagram 2/5 · US No longer great: Instagram was once a great way to share creativity and keep up with friends and family. Now it is all ads and mindless silly reels designed to keep you addicted and scrolling. 70% my feed are things I do not care to see. I have deleted the app as it is no longer great as it once was.
5. [R5] Reddit 4/5 · US If you are a new user DO NOT DOWNLOAD: Reddit is not new user friendly, they dont tell you but for most if not all sub reddits you will need Karma to post or even comment, the pnly way to get karma is to post/get interactions with other user…HOWEVER you can get reactions because you cant post because your post get automatically DELETED by the bots that auto mod every reddit server
6. [R6] Reddit 3/5 · US Generally Good, but new swipe feature sucks: I’ve been using the app forever and I’ve never had any issues with it until their recent update changing the swipe function. Just like everyone else, clicking on a picture or video and swiping up would bring up the comments. Well, now Reddit wants to be like TikTok and Instagram and create an infinite scrolling feature, except they did it so poorly. Bri
7. [R19] Reddit 2/5 · US Stop with the constant UI changes: It legitimately feels like every time I open this app the UI changes in some way that is a net negative at worst or completely inconsequential at best. No one asked for half these changes it feels like they just keep throwing darts at a wall to see what sticks when in actuality everyone’s been fine with the same system that’s been in place long before these past
8. [R70] Instagram 2/5 · US Account: I’ve had my instagram account since 2018, and recently their meta ai had gotten hacked and it BANNED my account permanently with serious allegations and I had to create a new account and Im honestly distraught from all the memories and chats I’ve lost due to an error they made.
9. [R33] Reddit 3/5 · GB iPad app keeps crashing: The app keeps freezing and only way to fix it is shut it down and reopen again. Luckily don’t lose where you were as you can go on your profile and history, but it’s damn annoying and happens every single time I’m on the app
10. [R36] Reddit 1/5 · US Pure Developer Negligence: This app is awful. It refreshes itself without being asked to. Wanna switch to another app quickly to fact check something before posting it? This garbage app will refresh when you get back to it, so you’ll have to look for the post you’re trying to reply to again. Oh are you reading a very long post? Well, the app doesn’t care, it will just refresh the front page as a b
11. [R61] Instagram 1/5 · US AI Wrongly Banned My Account: My account was suspended twice and then after the second time (50 day suspension) I was sent an email stating that the AI suspended me by accident. Then I was suspended a third time and I was told I was out of appeals. Your AI is out of control and there is no human support to address these errors. I have lost so many contacts from your errors.
12. [R87] Instagram 3/5 · US Constantly buffering: All videos stop after a couple seconds, buffer, and never play.
13. [R12] Reddit 3/5 · GB A great App with some “account” issues: This is a great App. The management is not as good as it should be so to achieve its full potential. For instance, my account was temporarily blocked for absolutely no reason, to the being reinstated 24 hrs later and no cause for the malfunctioning being provided. Filters are often a real mistery and, overall, the platform has some significant hiccups. That
14. [R76] Instagram 2/5 · US no customer support: They disabled my daughters app for no apparent reason saying CSE 100% not true! No actual appeal. YEARS OF FAMILY MEMORIES GONE.
15. [R119] Instagram 1/5 · US Account Suspensions: I’m honestly beyond frustrated with Instagram right now, and I don’t even know where else to say it because the system keeps shutting me out. Every time I try to make an account, it gets deleted or suspended almost immediately. And before anyone jumps to conclusions, I haven’t violated any guidelines. I’m not posting anything harmful or inappropriate. My content is literally
