1. [R2] rednote 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
2. [R4] rednote 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,
3. [R62] TikTok 4/5 · US Good news and bad news: I rate it 4 stars bc they keep banning me but I’m the right age to be on it but overall there’s good content and good vibes
4. [R67] TikTok 1/5 · US Terrible: I have 40+ hours on this app idk y but it’s addictive don’t get it it will drown u in depression and stuff
5. [R1] rednote 1/5 · US Rogue software: I turned off all in-app notifications, but home page recommendations kept popping up in my push notifications. Customer service was useless. I updated the app, and the problem persisted. I had to turn off all Xiaohongshu push notifications in my settings, which is so frustrating. · translated
6. [R61] TikTok 1/5 · US Black screen with logo: Since newest update on won’t load and I’m on iOS 15.8
7. [R79] TikTok 1/5 · US Bugs: Extremely filled with bugs, can’t see lives in my inbox or from profiles anymore. Really disappointed since I’ve been using this app just fine for many years.
8. [R26] rednote 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.
9. [R64] TikTok 1/5 · US Banned: This is the worse app ever I got banned for no reason
10.

11. [R5] rednote 5/5 · US I like that it helps me identify scammers: While not everyone who doesn't post frequently is a scammer, at least I can see who is a normal user (someone who posts often). So I only keep those who post regularly. If someone is just a lurker and leaves no trace, I can't tell if they're a scammer. · translated
12. [R27] rednote 5/5 · US Awesome! 🤩: Really great way for me as an American to learn about Chinese culture! 😆
13. [R100] TikTok 1/5 · US Full of ads now: Literally one ad every three videos now??? Really? Totally just trash and unusable
14. [R103] TikTok 1/5 · US Inappropriate advertisements: I get inappropriate advertisements on this app. Although I block them, they keep showing up on my feed. I have deleted the app. Not safe for children. If the ads are there, the age limit should be 18 years old and up. TikTok, please fix this.
15. [R38] rednote 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
16. [R82] TikTok 2/5 · US What happened to me on TikTok!: Keep getting banned for no reason.
