[R11] Clapper 1/5 · GB Started out good, but going down hill fast: App was nice and felt different from other apps at first but didn’t take long for it to go down hill and now it’s becoming taken over with scammers, fraudsters, catfish and hackers.

Come and check me out and show love @Juma.Mhlanga. Clapper is love, Cl
  16. [R33] Clapper 5/5 · GB Pretty good: This app I use as I think tik tok will be banned if they had the filters of TikTok then this would be spot on. I like the fact that you need 3000 followers until you get paid instead of the 10000 followers on tik tok Keep up the good work Clapoer

  19. [R17] Clapper 1/5 · GB CREATORS BEWARE: THEY STEAL YOUR EARNINGS!: I withdrew over $450 more than a month ago and still not received it. But, suspiciously, they’ve started to ignore me after all my withdrawal transaction history has disappeared even though it says I can see the past 90 days. They don’t have any means to get hold of someone other than ONE email and an official profile on the platform. Both of which I’ve
  20. [R19] Clapper 1/5 · GB Racist behaviour, threats, bullying: You report issues of bullying within this app as requested in the policies as stated that it’s not accepted yet nothing gets done about the issues. Clapper doesn’t even respond to your complaints. There are so many issues with this app in the respect that lives can be locked down in order to destroy other people’s lives and threaten them. This is not acceptable
  21. [R23] Clapper 1/5 · GB Nsfw setting error: Even if I change settings in ‘Manage account’ to view nsfw, it doesn’t change anything. Also I am unable to create a new account cause it says too many accounts registered with this device. If someone from clapper sees this please reach out to fix. Thanks
  22. [R41] Clapper 5/5 · GB Love it: Great app easy to use and love the organic reach atm!
  23. [R67] Rumble 5/5 · US 1A: Free speech always had a home here. I remember when I found rumble before all the big names came over and when the Covid censorship started. Over and over I watched as more ppl exclusively started stream on rumble. When Dan Bongino made it his home so did I. Thank you for being a true bastion of free speech and never caving in to the radical left. The patriots are in control.
  24. [R73] Rumble 5/5 · US Better and better.: Rumble is not only an alternative to YouTube, it is THE alternative to YouTube. Every year I come back to find it gets better and better as more content providers migrate away from YouTube.
  25. [R82] Rumble 5/5 · US Better than YouTube: Not as much variety (yet) but without the globalist censorship
  26. [R88] Rumble 5/5 · US Best video streaming service: Best no holding back alternative to YouTube!
  27. [R57] Rumble 1/5 · US RUINED BY GREED: Ruined by greed like everything else in our world. Every 2-5 minutes is an AI ad or ads for rumble. Then on top of that you have the ads the creators do themselves to make a profit. I’m fine with the creator ads, but the other ones are ridiculous. Why are there AI ads about honey being the cure for diabetes lol? Or a former nasa engineer named George who invented an AC unit for hi
  28. [R60] Rumble 1/5 · US Mrs Hamers: Yesterday I had six 10- second ads to open a selection in my feed. This ad scheme has become a burden even at the free loader level. The return Dan Bongino upset my morning line up. I’m sure you don’t care beyond the advertising dollars. But you should you turned yourself into a frog. Thanks Kate Hamers
  29. [R86] Rumble 3/5 · US Please fix this app: I really want to love this app but every time I open the app and pick a podcast to watch an ad pops up and locks up the app. The ad never plays and the podcast doesn't either. I have to shut down the app over and over to get it to eventually play. It's ridiculous! Is it done on purpose to get people to buy the premium? If the free version is this bad I sure don't want to pay f
  30. [R98] Rumble 3/5 · US Ad takeover: Use to be great. Unbearable now. I am searching for an alternative.
