- [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
- [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
- [R67] 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
- [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
- [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!
- [R64] Dino mutant Doesn't work: endless server connection, 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 media except Discord. · translated
- [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
- [R16] Cluster Needs Update: App constantly freezes. I can't view or upload any photos. Please update!
- [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.
- [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.
- [R70] 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🫤😔
- [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.
- [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
- [R112] Dino mutant Disappointing developers: I’ve played this game for around 2 years and it was lots of fun at the start but this past year the devs has said one thing to the player base then done the exact opposite. They don’t take feedback well and claim they are making updates to help smaller free players but really their updates support a pay for strength system and have created massive unbalance in the game. N
- [R118] Dino mutant Money trap and unbalanced tribe wars: The game has turned into a huge money trap and the devs don’t care about balancing tribe wars or bullies in the servers. We get harassed constantly and report it and no fixes have been made
