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.
- [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
- [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
- [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.
- [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
- [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.
- [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
- [R19] Cluster Fix this outdated app: The app has not been meaningfully updated in years.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
- [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
- [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.
- [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
- [R32] Cluster Close but need more Functionality: Your apps are just what I was looking for but I want them combined and enhanced slightly I love the subscription ability to archive in Cluster but wish it could create a PDF or document with all of the content not just photos. I love the add a map function in TripCast but wish it was in Cluster. I wish there was an option in TripCast to purchase a PDF instea
- [R60] Cluster Too buggy: Now cluster wants us to pay a subscription? Well, I’d be happy to if the uploads didn’t frequently fail. Fix the bugs so the app works and then ask us to pay.
- [R68] ClusterTruck Okay , I see you…: Second order in as many weeks…food is killer and getting it delivered fast is a great luxury! Ordered for our whole Track coaching staff…super easy to combined and everyone gets what they want. Cost is high.
- [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
- [R33] Cluster Not getting notifications of posts: We have used Cluster for about 3 years and have loved the ability to share pics privately. Starting in early December notifications of postings have not been received by members of the group. I know of one other user of Cluster who is having the same problem. I have requested help from the site 3 times and have had no response.
- [R39] Cluster Fix the bugs!: Cluster, fix the app, I’ve tried for 4 days trying to upload pictures. I’ve had this app for 3 years and no problems. It won’t let me upload, won’t let me cancel anything- it just spins then freezes. Very frustrating.
- [R2] Cluster Great app: So much sharing can be done
- [R23] Cluster Great FB alternative: Between family issues, moving, and a LOT of loving church members, babysitters, and relatives, this app has been AMAZING for posting updates on our niece. As legal guardians, we wanted to keep her pictures private and separate from social media, give everyone simultaneous access to the same pictures/updates, allow them to add their own pics, and the notification system tells
- [R41] Cluster Exactly What We Needed: My family used to use an app called Path where it was a closed community and all we saw was each other’s posts. That app was discontinued over 5 years ago and we’ve been looking for a solution since. This app is EXACTLY what we’ve been looking for. We now have close to 30 family members - cousins, uncles, grandparents, in-laws - connecting across the US from Hawaii to Mai
- [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!
- [R71] ClusterTruck Always the choice: If you live in Indy and can have ClusterTruck delivered, this is your choice. Always hot, always quick, always tasty.
- [R83] ClusterTruck The best delivery service!: ClusterTruck is the most most reliable delivery service I have experienced! The food is literally always good and the app makes it easy to know where your order is in the process. And the cluster points system is an awesome reward. Never leave Indy!!
- [R89] ClusterTruck 😊 Satisfied Customer: This place is awesome always receive my meal hot. They are also pretty quick with delivery!
- [R62] ClusterTruck FABULOUS!!: I have gotten the Mediterranean wrap with steak and it is delicious! Fresh and filling without feeling heavy😋😋
- [R64] ClusterTruck Not the best food: My order was the queso and chips, pizza and hamburger and tots combo. The top of the pizza was burnt and the bottom was soggy. The burger and tots were soggy from being placed inside of a plastic container that had no ventilation. The queso was bland and the chips did not taste fresh either. The delivery was the only thing good about this order!
- [R69] ClusterTruck Always tasty and fresh: Good food. Exceeds expectations! Chicken tenders are probably one of the best. Wings and Pizza rank above most take out places around.
- [R82] ClusterTruck Best food: I love your burgers aamd tots nd the burritos in quesadillas..
